Couillard Canopies are Made for Public Spaces

Whatever scale you need, Couillard Canopies pergolas and pavilions go up quickly and offer your community beautiful recreational space. Using high-grade 7.5″ oak-pinned Douglas Fir base substructures, our canopies will last for many decades with maintenance. These beautiful canopies not only produce a lot of energy; they typically cost less than their stick-built counterparts.

A Couillard Canopy qualifies for the Federal IRA 30% direct-pay credit for nonprofits, along with other rebates and solar incentives available in your area. That includes the canopy, the timber frame substructure and the concrete slab below.

Bifacial Solar Energy

Whether grid-tied or standalone with batteries, the Couillard Canopy delivers lots of energy; from the 5.4KW pergola to larger 48.6KW 5-bay pavilions, our canopies produce more power per square foot on average than any similar sized rooftop array due to the use of bifacial solar technology. Bifacial panels are just what they suggest; both top and bottom of the solar panels convert solar energy into electric power.

Natural Materials Paired With Green Technology

The Couillard Canopy is designed as a solar array that also functions as an outdoor space. Our canopy includes an American made timber frame substructure, creating an inviting, natural look for your parks and recreation facilities, conservation districts, preservation, wildlife and natural areas.
