Protect your assets and put your parking lot to work
Hailstones the size of eggs can total a lot full of vehicles in minutes. A SHIELD™ solar carport puts an engineered canopy between the storm and your assets — while generating clean power on land you already own.
Instead of leaving parking lots exposed and unused, you gain productive energy infrastructure that improves the experience for staff, customers and fleets.
SHIELD™ — a next-generation solar carport system
Engineered from the ground up for solar: robust structure, flexible configurations and streamlined installation on one scalable platform.
Engineered for extreme weather
Designed to meet local wind, snow, seismic and hail loads across North America.
Snow & water management
Structural design and drainage manage snow loads, rain and ice — with optional gutters and downspouts.
Hot-dip galvanized steel
G90–G235 galvanized structural steel and corrosion-resistant hardware for decades of service.
Highly configurable
Supports a wide range of parking layouts, module sizes and site conditions.
EV charging & electrical
Built-in wire management and UL-certified integrated bonding, ready for EV charging integration.
Custom finishes
Wet paint or powder-coat finishes in a range of colors to match architecture or branding.
One system, five proven configurations
SHIELD matches your parking layout, span requirements and climate — including built-in snow and ice mitigation for northern sites.
For housing developments and commercial buildings with open parking.
Clean mono-slope for wide parking rows and commercial spaces.
Maximum coverage for high-traffic parking areas.
Built-in snow and ice mitigation for northern climates.
Fewer columns, maximum clearance and parking efficiency.
Built for the sites hail hits hardest
If your business parks vehicles, equipment or inventory outdoors, a SHIELD carport turns your biggest liability into an asset.
Proven for harsh weather
Polar Racking systems are designed to perform across the most demanding environments in North America — engineered to withstand high winds, ice accumulation and extreme temperature cycles.
The Natural Forces Solar team has successfully installed over 30 MW of Polar Racking, including a carport, single-post, dual-post and ballasted systems. Polar Racking is efficient to install, and robust once constructed.
Engineered mounting systems, concept through installation
Reduce installation costs
Optimized spans and efficient layouts reduce structural steel and simplify construction on site.
Long-term performance
Durable, galvanized systems trusted by developers, EPCs and asset owners to last decades.
Concept through installation
Expertise across racking, foundations and structural engineering supports your whole project.
