One Post, Clear Bays
A single-post cantilever carries the full width of each bay with no front column. Cars enter and exit freely, sight lines stay open, and there is far less structure to hit.
Solar Carports
A heavy-duty commercial solar carport on a single-post steel cantilever. Each bay is completely open — no front column — so cars park and pass freely, in single-sided 7-shape or two-sided Y-shape layouts.

Overview
On a commercial car park, columns are the enemy: they block spaces, invite collisions, and complicate traffic flow. Titan MAX is a steel solar carport built on a single-post cantilever — one row of columns carries the full width of each parking bay with nothing at the front, so every space stays easy to enter and exit. The 7-shape form covers a single-sided bay; the Y-shape covers two sides from the same row of columns.
The structure is hot-dip galvanized steel, chosen for what large spans and heavy snow demand — it carries loads an aluminum carport cannot economically reach, with decades of corrosion resistance. Bay spans are sized to the design wind speed of your site, typically 5000-5500 mm. Panels mount in landscape or portrait at a 5° tilt, and the structure is ready for bifacial modules that collect ground-reflected light. Where the bays below must stay fully dry, an optional water-guide drainage package — in aluminum or ZAM-coated steel — carries rain and snow-melt clear of the cars, with no rubber parts that age and leak.
Titan MAX scales from a single bay to a solar car park canopy covering a full industrial site, and pairs naturally with on-site EV charging. Every project is engineered to its site: wind, snow, and seismic loads verified to JIS C 8955, ASCE/SEI 7 and IBC, or Eurocode EN 1991, with foundations sized to the cantilever loads. Megawa Solar backs the structure with a 12-year warranty and a 25-30 year design life. Send your car park layout and target capacity, and our engineers will design and quote each bay for your project.

Key Advantages
Wider Spans, Heavier Loads
Hot-dip galvanized steel carries spans and snow loads an aluminum carport cannot economically reach — each bay engineered to the site's wind and snow, with decades of corrosion resistance.
One Side or Both
The 7-shape covers a single-sided bay; the Y-shape covers both sides from one row of columns. Landscape or portrait, and ready for bifacial modules.
Waterproofing When You Need It
An optional water-guide package — in aluminum or ZAM-coated steel — keeps the bays below fully dry, with no rubber parts that age and leak. Skip it where shelter and generation are the goal.

Key Components
Column
Curved cantilever column cut and welded from steel plate, with a ribbed base plate that anchors to the concrete foundation and a flanged head that takes the girder connection. A single row of these columns carries the full bay, so nothing stands at the front of the parking spaces.
Galvanized steel Q235B
Support
Curved brace that bolts between the column face and the underside of the girder. It shortens the girder's free cantilever span and returns part of the canopy load into the column, keeping deflection down at the open end.
Galvanized steel Q235B
Girder
Tapered plate girder that carries the canopy out over the bay from the column head — deepest at the column connection where bending is greatest, thinning toward the tips, with welded web stiffeners along the run. The purlins bolt across its top face.
Galvanized steel Q235B
C-Purlin
Cold-formed C-section purlin spanning across the girders, factory-punched with bolt holes so it bolts straight on — no site welding or drilling. The purlin rows carry the module mounting line and set the panel pitch.
Galvanized steel Q235B
Panel Clamp
Mid and end clamps that secure the module frames along the purlin line: the mid clamp fixes two adjacent modules in a single fixing, the end clamp finishes the row edge. Both share the same seat and pre-fitted bolt, so crews use one fixing method across the whole canopy.

Frequently Asked Questions
For medium and large car parks, usually yes: a solar carport turns parking area that earns nothing into generating capacity, while sheltering the cars below and supporting on-site EV charging. Titan MAX raises that return with wide, open bays that keep every space usable, and bifacial-ready panels for extra yield.
The usual concerns are structural cost on wide spans and drainage that ages. Titan MAX uses hot-dip galvanized steel to span large bays economically, and its optional water-guide drainage comes in aluminum or ZAM-coated steel — no rubber parts that age and leak.
Cost scales with span, panel count, and site loads rather than a single list price, so Titan MAX is quoted per project. Its standardized single-post bays — 7-shape and Y-shape — drop in without bespoke engineering, and we size the steel, span, and foundations economically for each site with a project-specific structural calculation.
Steel spans wider and carries more: Titan MAX's galvanized-steel cantilever covers large, open bays that aluminum cannot economically reach — the structural choice for commercial and industrial car parks. Aluminum carports such as the Titan LITE are lighter, waterproof as standard, and suit smaller spans. Choose by span, load, and budget.
Titan MAX stands on concrete foundations sized to the cantilever loads, in two single-post forms: a 7-shape for single-sided bays and a Y-shape for two-sided bays, at a 5° tilt. Bay span is set by the design wind speed of your site — typically 5000-5500 mm — and every configuration is verified by a project-specific structural calculation to JIS C 8955, ASCE/SEI 7 and IBC, or Eurocode EN 1991.
Titan ECO is the economical all-aluminum choice with standard 5 × 5 m bays and optional waterproofing. Titan LITE is the all-aluminum waterproof flagship with integrated drainage. Titan MAX is the steel single-post cantilever for long clear spans and heavy-duty commercial car parks. Share your site and parking count and we will recommend one.
No — it's optional. The standard build shelters cars and generates power; add the water-guide package where the bays below must stay fully dry, in aluminum or ZAM-coated steel. Unlike rubber gutters, there are no parts that age and leak.
We provide installation guides, drawings, and dedicated support through your build, and the structural calculation is available for industrial projects — wind, snow, and seismic loads verified to the code that applies at your site. Share your car park layout and we'll design and quote for your project.
