New

CarryALL attachment completes your lift system

Safety simplified

The only 100% complete, reliable, cost-effective, and convenient solar lifting solution.

Secure

Lightweight

Portable

Easy

The FUEL™ Solar Lift fills a gap in the solar installation industry between expensive powered lifts that are time-consuming to set up and the unsafe practice of carrying solar panels and equipment up or down a ladder.

Product

Engineered for performance, durability, and ease of use in solar installation environments.

Designed For Simplicity

We designed the FUEL Solar Lift with simplicity in mind to make it easy to set up and use anywhere. The FUEL Solar Lift is a fully manual lift that is conveniently operated on a standard aluminum extension ladder.

It takes less than 30 seconds to safely and easily lift solar panels and equipment to a two-story roof. At the end of the day simply tuck your lift into a regular work van, or even a car, where it is ready to set up at the next site in minutes.

The FUEL Solar Lift is particularly suited for rapid residential and rural installations, and wherever tight locations or tricky terrain are difficult to access by large equipment.

Panel Lift

The main component is a lightweight trolley for holding solar panels that features a unique double-wheel design that runs smoothly and securely along the ladder.

An auto-locking double pulley system ensures safe and easy lifting, as well as lowering. The auto-lock can be released from the ground or the roof, giving installers full control during lifts.

CarryALL

For transporting other essential gear like racking, inverters, ballast blocks, and tools, the CarryALL attachment hooks right onto the trolley in seconds, turning the lift into a complete, all-in-one lifting system.

The CarryALL can be purchased separately or as part of a complete FUEL Solar Lift system to ensure full compliance for 3-point contact safety regulations.

About

We design practical tools for real job sites. Engineered in Canada, built with care, and driven by the needs of the people who use them.

Who We Are

The FUEL Solar Lift is engineered and manufactured in Canada by FUEL Innovation Design and Manufacturing Inc. FUEL holds a Permit to Practice with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) and operates under a Quality Management System (QMS). Along with developing and commercializing our own products, we are a trusted provider of fee-for-service product design, engineering, development, and manufacturing services in various sectors.

How We Got Here

We didn't plan to disrupt residential solar installs, but the FUEL Solar Lift is doing just that. Despite decades of solar panel progress, rooftop lifting tools remain limited. Power hoists are costly and impractical for small jobs, while existing manual options can't lift more than panels, leaving many to haul gear up ladders by hand. In 2021, a major Canadian installer asked us for a safer, simpler solution. The result: a portable, manual hoist that easily lifts panels and equipment up a standard extension ladder.

Our Guarantee

We aim for 100% customer satisfaction by valuing personal connection and listening to our customers. We are committed to continuously improving our products and processes so you always get the best possible solution that we can deliver to keep you safe and with no job downtime.

When you are happy, we are happy!

Testimonials

Hear from solar installation professionals who trust the FUEL Solar Lift.

Jordan Brooks

Rocky Mountain Solar

"Our company was fortunate to find the FUEL Solar Lift soon after it was launched in 2023. After trialing a unit we have now outfitted all of our crews with a FUEL Solar Lift. These lifts are extremely easy to use and simple to set up with our existing ladders saving us time and money on site.

The FUEL team is excellent to work with and always responsive to questions, service, and feedback on future product development."

Brennen Gagnon, Ben Balmer

Arc Electric and Solar

"The FUEL Solar Lift is very quick to set up, easy to use, and has saved us an immense amount of time and money. We have now eliminated equipment rental costs of boom lifts or zoom boom lifts to get the panels onto the roof of 1 or 2 story building system installations. The FUEL Solar Lift system has paid for itself within the first 1 or 2 system installations."

Ido Kerpel

Eco-Smart Energy Solutions

"After we heard about this new and safe way to lift solar panels up to a second story roof, it didn't take us long to decide to make the reasonable investment in the FUEL Solar Lift. It can be set up anywhere, including zero clearance sites and even on a balcony. After almost a year of using it regularly I can truthfully say that this new tool in our pouch has been worth every penny in time and energy savings."
