FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER (FRP) SOLAR CARPORTS

Twice as strong as steel.

A quarter of the weight.

Installed for less.

AMRENERGY's pultruded FRP carport structures bolt onto a shallow 2.5 ft footing, carry 150 mph wind and 60 psf snow loads, never rust, take any color — and cost less installed than steel or aluminum.

2X STEEL STRENGTH
¼ THE WEIGHT
2.5 FT FOOTING VS 6 FT DEEP
