During the pandemic, anesthesiologist Dr. Diane B. Gill opened her home to traveling medical personnel who needed a place to stay while treating patients suffering from COVID-19 in Chico, California, and the surrounding communities. The residence features two 45-panel, 27.9 KW residential double carports on site to supplement the power required to run the 4,896 sq. ft. home and its amenities. Solar Carports Direct, based in Cottonwood, California, installed the carport system using S-5! clamps to secure the solar panels to the carport structures. S-5! provided Solar Carports Direct with a unique, innovative custom mounting solution, specifically designed, engineered, and tested for their carport systems.
