Rooftop Canopies
Solar States is a certified B-Corporation
Your Rooftop Oasis Awaits
Rooftop solar pergolas, or canopies, preserve your roof space while providing access to all of the benefits of solar energy. Plus, shade! “It’s made our rooftop much more comfortable…”, says Kara in Philly’s Fishtown neighborhood. Solar States serves the entire region from the Philly Suburbs to the Jersey Shore. Based in Philadelphia’s Olde Kensington neighborhood since 2008.
More Than Solar—A Space You'll Actually Use
A solar canopy isn’t just about generating clean energy. It’s about transforming dead space into living space.
Picture your rooftop deck on a July afternoon—not scorching and unusable, but shaded, comfortable, and inviting. Add a table, some plants, string lights. That’s the difference a canopy makes: it extends your outdoor season and creates a destination you’ll want to spend time in.
Bifacial panels filter sunlight through a transparent backsheet, casting dappled light patterns that feel more like a tree canopy than industrial equipment.

Canopy Designs
Our most popular rooftop solar canopy solution is the Brooklyn Solar Canopy. These aluminum mounting systems elevate the panels 9-feet, and come in a variety of colors and styles. In your property assessment, we will create a 3D rendering of your system using drone technology and collaboratively design the system to suit your needs. The video above features several Brooklyn Solar Canopy systems.
Carports
Do you have an office parking lot with lots of EVs? Canopies can be installed with EV chargers to create a more accommodating parking setup. Plus, who doesn’t love that spot beneath the tree, that keeps the car cool all day? You’ll have many more spaces beneath the canopy to stay cool and, if need be, charge the EV.
