The ChikoUSA Premier is a black steel solar carport, pergola and gazebo that covers 1 to 4 vehicles while carrying a full solar array, so you get more production without using roof space. Its S350 steel frame has a zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating for long-term corrosion resistance, and it takes 60-cell, 72-cell and large-format modules in landscape or portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable:\u003c\/strong\u003e S350 steel with Zn-Al-Mg (ZAM) coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible modules:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-cell, 72-cell and large-format, landscape or portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered for tough sites:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 150 MPH wind; site-specific engineering for high wind and snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation options\u003c\/strong\u003e, including the concrete-free ChikoUSA Monster Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof design\u003c\/strong\u003e, 5° tilt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUL 2703\u003c\/strong\u003e certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eZAM Tough Coating: Steel That Doesn't Rust Like Everyone Else's\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ChikoUSA carport and gazebo is built from \u003cstrong\u003eZAM Tough\u003c\/strong\u003e steel.
