Innovative Solar Canopy offers smart solution for New Yorkers looking to install solar power panels

One enterprising startup, Brooklyn SolarWorks has devised an ingenious way to make solar power generation completely possible in urban environments.

The Solar Canopy is an elevated tent-like structure covered in 2.5- by 5-foot photovoltaic panels that stands 10 feet above the roof, making it work around common city code regulations.

Brooklyn residents, like most New Yorkers, face a ton of obstacles when looking to add solar power to their home.

The Solar Canopy could change the small-scale solar power generation in every major city.
