As Solar Grows, Smart Engineering Partners Matter More Than Ever

As Solar Grows, Smart Engineering Partners Matter More Than Ever

The U.S. solar industry continues to expand at record speed, with more commercial rooftops, urban properties, and large-scale projects coming online every quarter. In 2025 alone, solar installations accounted for 84% of new U.S. power capacity added, underscoring solar’s role as a core pillar of America’s energy future (Source: Reuters). And as we move into 2026, developers are reporting nearly $9 billion in planned solar development projects nationwide, highlighting sustained investment in both utility-scale and distributed generation (Source: Industrial Info Resources).

But as growth accelerates, one challenge is becoming clear: solar isn’t getting simpler — it’s getting more complex.

Rooftops are more obstructed. Buildings are older. Codes are stricter. Timelines are tighter.

This is where the right engineering partners make the difference.

Universal Renewables works directly with EPCs, developers, and contractors to deliver adaptable, high-performance racking systems designed for real-world rooftops. From elevated canopy solutions to high-tilt and flush-mount systems, our approach allows projects to move forward even in environments where traditional systems fall short.

As solar becomes a core part of energy infrastructure — not just an upgrade — reliability, domestic manufacturing, and smart design matter more than ever. Universal Renewables’ Made-in-USA racking systems with high recycled content support faster deployment, resilient supply chains, and long-term performance.

The next phase of solar growth won’t be driven by standard solutions. It will be powered by engineered systems that unlock potential where others see limits.

And that’s exactly what Universal Renewables delivers — project after project.

A Real-World Example: Solar Canopies in Multifamily Buildings

Beyond Logan Station, Universal Renewables continues to innovate with solutions that enhance power generation in space-restricted environments. One standout example comes directly from a happy client:

“Universal Renewables installed a rooftop canopy to our condominium building. This approach allowed two significant advantages for our relatively small multifamily building… great coverage and total panel area, because they didn’t need to work around the various air-conditioning units/heat pumps, but over them; and it allowed for the bifacial solar panels to capture reflected light from the underside. All this improves our electrical production and efficiency — more kilowatts per total roof area. As a side benefit, the canopy approach provides shade protection to our roof and the related HVAC systems.”
