Will this fit on a sidewalk or in a parking lot? Where can it be located?Yes. The Skyhook is designed for city streets! The butterfly shaped bifacial solar canopy allows for maximum power in any orientation. Rest assured with a small 6' x 3' footprint, the Skyhook fits in the pedestrian right of way next to a typical bikeshare dock. All models fit in parking lots (between spaces) without any loss of parking space. The base is made specifically to be delivered by drop-deck flat-bed trailer and deployed using a pallet jack or forklift.
