The solar awning

The increase in the cost of electric energy coupled with the lower cost of photovoltaic panels offers great prospects for photovoltaic installations also known as solar installations. The installation of a solar awning on the top of an opening such as a window or door makes it possible to jointly carry out a solar-protection function with the production of green energy.

Your awning becomes a source of energy!

The protection of an awning

Simple to set up, placed on the openings of the rooms the solar house, solar awnings allow the sun to penetrate in the winter (lower rays) and acts as solar protection in the summer when the rays of the sun are high in the sky. You will be able to preserve the coolness of your house thanks to the solar awning or to make a sheltered area for your entrance.

A way to access self-consumption

The solar awning makes it possible to take the step to self-consumption. It will allow you to produce electricity that you can consume on the spot. To find out more about self-consumption, read this guide on the ADEME website: “Photovoltaic self-consumption: how to produce electricity and consume it at home? “.

Your roof unscathed

The solar awning or photovoltaic pergola is the ideal structure for installation on the openings of a private or commercial building. The roof does not come into play. The installation is done in landscape only. The panel is attached with anchors in three points on the bracket (standard).

With a fixed orientation of 12° or 20 ° the sun canopy effectively catches the solar rays. Another important advantage to a roof installation, you do not have to involve two different trades (roofer, heating …) since the solar awning is attached to the wall. Fewer worries for the project manager.

Multiple implementations

Consisting of one or more framed panels from 30 to 50mm, the solar roof is robust and weatherproof. In addition, it allows you to dress your home or office building giving it a modern character and a new rhythm to your facade. The solar porch in several modules placed around the building can also protect the access to the garage or the terrace while exerting its functions of solar and weather protection.

100% aluminum

The frame of the solar awning is made of 100% aluminum guaranteeing its stability over time and weather. It is able to withstand both low temperatures and hot weather, when there is rain, snow, ice … Moreover, this metal is 100% recyclable.

And for the office?

Wondering what significance solar panels could have for your business? Quite simply you will enhance your building and cover some or all your energy needs thanks to the sun’s rays. Especially since the self-consumption is effective during the day when the sun is present, it is therefore at “office hours” that the performance of an installation is at its maximum. In addition, installing solar awnings on your facades will confirm your commitment to ecology while reducing your electricity bill! Cover some of your energy needs and secure the price of your kWh.
