Rooftop solar canopies in New Jersey
New Jersey pays rooftop solar for the power it produces, so every extra panel on a crowded roof counts. Elevated canopies add that space above the equipment.
Why elevated canopies fit New Jersey roofs
Successor Solar Incentive
New Jersey’s SuSI program gives net-metered rooftop projects one SREC-II per megawatt-hour, for 15 years. More capacity on the same roof means more certificates; confirm current values with the NJ Board of Public Utilities.
Dense commercial roofs
Apartment, office and retail roofs across the state are crowded with mechanical equipment. Canopies go over it instead of around it.

New Jersey rooftop solar FAQ
Do you build rooftop solar canopies in New Jersey?
Yes. Universal Renewables designs, engineers, manufactures and installs elevated rooftop solar canopies for New Jersey buildings and works with New Jersey installers and EPCs.
Is a rooftop solar canopy eligible for New Jersey solar incentives?
Net-metered rooftop projects generally fall under New Jersey’s Successor Solar Incentive program, which pays one SREC-II per megawatt-hour. Eligibility and values depend on the project; confirm with the NJ Board of Public Utilities.
How much more solar can an elevated canopy add?
Our systems routinely increase a roof’s installed capacity by 50% to more than 500%, because the array is built over obstructions rather than around them.
