Solar Pergolas & Carports for Your Florida Home
Shaded outdoor living, covered parking, and a working solar array, built as one structure by AllSolar Energy’s licensed team.
What Is a Solar Pergola?
A solar pergola is an outdoor structure that combines the shade and style of a traditional pergola with the power producing panels of a solar array. Instead of mounting panels on your roof, the panels form the roof of a freestanding structure over your patio, deck, pool area, or outdoor kitchen. You get a shaded space to enjoy year round and a solar system that helps offset your electric bill, all in one build.
Why Florida Homeowners Are Choosing Solar Pergolas
A solar pergola is a smart fit for a lot of Florida properties. Here is why homeowners are asking about them.
- Shade where you actually spend time: Florida sun makes patios and pool decks hard to use in the middle of the day. A solar pergola covers the space while it works for you.
- More room for solar when your roof can’t fit it: tile roofs, shading trees, or limited roof space can cap how much solar a home can install. A pergola adds usable array space in the yard instead.
- Pairs with battery storage: like any AllSolar system, a solar pergola can charge a battery for backup power during an outage or for use after sunset.
- Adds value and curb appeal: a well built pergola improves how a backyard looks and functions, and a working solar array adds to that.
- One licensed team, start to finish: AllSolar handles the structure and the electrical, so there is one point of contact and one warranty conversation.
Built to Fit Your Property
Every solar pergola AllSolar installs is sized and designed around the space it’s covering, not a stock kit. We work with wood and aluminum framing, a range of finishes, and panel layouts sized to the energy goals for that structure, whether that’s a small patio cover or a full pool deck. Our team handles the structural design, the panel install, and the electrical tie in to your home, all under one AllSolar warranty.
Engineered Solar Carports & Gazebo Kits
For homeowners who want covered parking along with power generation, AllSolar also installs engineered steel solar carport and gazebo structures. These are freestanding, corrosion resistant steel frames built and rated specifically to carry a solar array, not a standard carport with panels bolted on after the fact. Available in sizes that hold 24, 36, or 48 panels, they are engineered for Florida conditions, rated for wind speeds up to 185 mph and heavy snow and wind loads, with UL 2703 certified racking built in. Whether you need covered parking for two vehicles or four, plus equipment or RV storage, our team can size and install the right structure for your property and tie it into your home’s electrical system. Every project starts with a free estimate, so we can size the structure and give you real numbers for your property.
Solar Pergola & Carport FAQ
Can AllSolar add solar panels to a pergola I already have?
In some cases, yes. Our team can evaluate an existing structure to see if it can carry the weight and wind load of a solar array, or recommend reinforcing or rebuilding it so it’s rated for the job.
Do you install solar carports as well as pergolas?
Yes. We install engineered steel carport and gazebo structures sized for 2, 3, or 4 vehicles that double as a solar array, built to the same wind and structural standards as our pergolas.
How much power will a solar pergola or carport produce?
That depends on the size of the structure and how many panels fit on it. Our Energy Advisors size every structure around your home’s energy use, the same way we size a rooftop system.
Do I need a separate electrical connection for a solar pergola or carport?
It ties into your home’s electrical system, the same as a roof mounted array. Our licensed electricians handle that connection and any permitting it requires.
Can a solar pergola or carport work with a battery like an EcoFlow Ocean Pro or Enphase battery?
Yes. Either structure can charge a battery just like a roof system, so you have backup power ready for an outage or extra capacity to use after the sun goes down.
What does a solar pergola or carport cost?
Cost depends on the size of the structure, the framing material, the number of panels, and the electrical work involved. We would rather walk your property and give you real numbers than a rough guess, so a free estimate is always the next step.
Are there incentives available for a solar pergola or carport?
Incentives and tax treatment change and depend on your specific situation, so we always recommend talking with your accountant or tax professional about what applies to you.
What other shaded outdoor spaces can carry solar panels?
Pool cabanas, freestanding awnings, and some existing patio covers can all be candidates for solar, depending on their structure and orientation. We can evaluate any of these during a free estimate.
Pergolas and carports aren’t the only options. Ask your Energy Advisor what fits your property best, from pool cabanas to freestanding shade structures designed around your energy goals.
