What solara adjustable patio cover does

Solara Adjustable Patio Cover LLC is a Phoenix, Arizona-based manufacturer founded circa 2000 that designs, produces, and distributes adjustable aluminum louvered patio covers, pergolas, and shading systems under the Solara brand through patiocover.us. The company's core product is an aluminum louvered roof system in which louvers rotate from 0 to 130 degrees to control sunlight, shade, and rain, available in manual or 12-volt motorized variants operable via remote, mobile app, and voice (Alexa, Google Home). The product line is split between an affordable roll-formed louver system and a heavy-duty 1.9mm extruded system with proprietary vinyl seal technology that the company claims blocks 98% of rainwater and snow leakage. A patented fiberglass louver bracket, derived from NASA composite materials and carrying a lifetime warranty, anchors both systems and supports ICC, IBC, and Israeli TAV-T code compliance. The portfolio extends to commercial patio covers, freestanding aluminum pergolas, DIY kits, and accessories (motors, remotes, side visors, custom colors up to 1000+).

Solara sells exclusively through an authorized dealer network spanning the USA and Canada, with dealers responsible for on-site measurement, free design consultation with color samples and demonstration kits, professional installation, and warranty service; a parallel DIY kit channel allows hands-on homeowners to self-install in roughly 1.5-2 days with two people. Pricing is quote-based on square footage: $18-$32/sq ft for roof-only roll-formed, $25-$45/sq ft for installed roll-formed, $30-$70/sq ft for installed extruded, with lattice covers around $20-$30/sq ft. Revenue therefore derives from one-time product sales through dealers, dealer-conducted professional installation services, and direct DIY hardware kits, with accessories (motors, remotes, visors, custom colors) layered on as attach-rate upgrades.

The customer base is predominantly residential homeowners seeking low-maintenance, all-season outdoor living space, supplemented by commercial hospitality clients — principally restaurants — for whom year-round outdoor dining capacity and weather protection are the primary purchase drivers. The company has been operating for over 25 years and presents itself as the only manufacturer offering both roll-formed and extruded louvered options on a shared bracket architecture, with multi-jurisdictional code certification as a specification differentiator.
