PHOTOVOLTAIC CANOPY

A photovoltaic canopy offers energy generation, sun protection and shelter. Depending on the type of canopy, the electricity yielded can be consumed in different ways: self-consumption for surrounding buildings, courtesy lighting, ad-box illumination, back-up systems, as well as injection to the grid.

Design options are almost unlimited: one, two or multiple slopes, different tilts and orientations, multiple glass design options (silk-screening, ceramic frits, colors, etc.)

PV glass on canopies can be supported using a variety of structural systems, including point-supported systems, U channels and skylight-like structures.
