Standard Residential Option

The Chiko Premier combines covered residential parking with a solar-ready structure, letting you generate energy without using valuable roof space. Its clean black steel frame is available in configurations for one to four vehicles and supports panels in portrait or landscape orientation.

The corrosion-resistant coated steel structure uses a low 5° panel angle and is engineered for demanding wind and snow conditions. It works as a carport, solar pergola, or freestanding energy structure. Solar panels, foundations, and electrical components are sold separately.

Chiko Maximo 185 Solar Carport

Heavy-duty solar canopy rated for winds up to 185 MPH and snow loads up to 60 PSF.

Industrial Option

(and for high wind locations)

The Maximo 185 is a heavy-duty solar carport designed for exposed sites and demanding climates. Available in two-, three-, and four-car configurations, it creates protected parking or equipment storage while supporting a large solar array overhead.

Its corrosion-resistant coated steel frame is engineered for wind speeds up to 185 MPH and snow loads up to 60 PSF. This makes it a strong option for coastal properties, commercial parking, farms, RV or boat storage, and other high-wind locations. Solar panels are sold separately, and final ratings depend on proper site engineering and installation.
