Efficient and Eco-Friendly Energy Solutions
Visible Solar Structures
When most of us hear the phrase “solar energy,” we immediately think of the photovoltaic panels lining a rooftop or corralled in rows on the ground. While these are the most common ways to gather solar energy, they’re not the only ones.
If your business is just getting started, for example, you might not have a lot of real estate for rows upon rows of solar panels. Maybe you only want to power a specific project or small part of your business, rather than the whole thing, and aren’t ready to invest in a total energy overhaul.
At Solar planet tech, we’ve got options. Lots of them. From space-efficient solar awnings and canopies, to solar carports for fleets of all sizes, to the eye-catching artistry of solar trees, there’s a solar solution to fit your budget and vision.
Solar Carports
A solar carport is, on its face, just a covered parking lot or deck like any other. But rather than a bare, ugly concrete or metal roof, it’s lined with photovoltaic panels—whose gathered energy directly benefits your business. These structures also provide shade to your customers and employees, and advertise your commitment to cost-effective, forward-thinking renewable energy.
You don’t have to build a whole new parking deck—you can cover your existing parking lot. If you’ve already got solar panels on your business, a solar carport will increase the area of energy collection. They can also double as charging stations for your employees’ cars and/or your commercial EV fleet.
Solar planet tech, has plenty of ideas about how a solar carport can save your business money, improve employee morale, and show the world that you’re serious about sustainability. Just give us a call.
Solar Trees
These are cool. There’s not really any other way to say it.
A solar tree is exactly what it sounds like: a free-standing structure with a bank of photovoltaic cells at its apex. It looks for all the world like a metal tree with reflective black leaves.
A marriage of the artistic and the practical, solar trees are more than just striking conversation pieces—they offer all the benefits of other small-scale solar structures. Ideal along walkways, in outdoor dining spaces, or anywhere people gather, solar trees can be used as benches with integrated lighting, as places to charge cell phones and laptops, or as teaching tools for students. Colorful, customizable, and weather-resistant, these are a beautiful and unique way to benefit your employees and impress your customers.
Call solar planet tech to design the solar tree of your dreams.
Solar Awnings & Canopies
A solar awning or canopy is a space-efficient, cost-effective way to transform a small space, like a patio or an otherwise bare wall, into a useful energy harvester. Make a statement with your restaurant or hotel, shade a corporate campus patio, or build a workspace that pulls its own weight.
Yes Solar Solutions has years of experience designing and installing these attractive, compact structures for businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies of all sizes. If you’re wondering whether a solar awning or canopy is right for your business—you’re probably right. Give us a call and we’ll make it happen.
