The companyBUILT TO MAKE
COMMERCIAL SOLAR BANKABLE.
Canyon Solar is Australia's leading modular solar canopy manufacturer. We factory-build 80% of each canopy off-site in our Australian factory in Braemar, NSW, then crane-deploy the pods into commercial car parks. Significantly safer and faster than traditional field-built construction.

ISAAC BOONSTRA
Leading Hand
Originally from Tasmania, and joining Canyon in early 2024, Isaac applies his solid construction background as site lead, and is known for his teamwork on site and deep understanding of canopy installation.
Canyon Solar was founded in 2021 by Will Beaumont, a mechanical engineer who saw the same problem on every commercial solar project: speed. Field-built car park canopies were taking six months on site, with weeks of customer disruption.
Drawing on his experience at Solgen, AGL and Lendlease, Will redesigned the canopy from the ground up as a modular, factory-built pod. Today that system is the backbone of Canyon's manufacturing facility in Braemar, NSW.
