Can Solar be added to a SQPOD

Yes, all SQPODS are Structurally Engineers to support SOLAR panels and an inverter mounted on the side.

The cost of Solar depend on your location, how much power and when it is needed. If you're only looking to power a few lights and maybe a computer during the day a small solar system suit your need.  Now, if the SQPOD is in a remote location you will need an OFFGRID system with battery storage; we are able to provide direction; please ask a SQPODS consultants.
