Frequently Asked Questions
How many solar panels fit on each size?
The canopy layout fits 12 panels per car space: 24 panels on the 2-car, 36 on the 3-car, and 48 on the 4-car. It accepts 60-cell, 72-cell, and large-format modules in landscape or portrait orientation. Solar panels are sold separately.
What weather can the Maximo 185 handle?
Every size is rated for wind up to 185 MPH and snow loads up to 60 PSF. The frame is S350 steel with a Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium (Zn-Al-Mg) coating that resists corrosion, including in coastal and high-salt environments.
What foundations does it work with?
Three footer options are available: pier, spread, and grade beam footings, so the structure can be matched to your site and local requirements.
Is the roof waterproof?
Waterproofing is available on the Maximo 185. Panel layout and sealing determine the finished rating, and final design can vary with module size, orientation, wind and snow load, and seismic requirements.
Does it come with solar panels or an inverter?
No. This listing is the steel structure only. Panels, inverters, batteries, and wiring are sold separately, and our team can help you spec the full system.
