A patio awning re-imagined

Written by Ruairi O'Neill on September 23, 2023. Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on A patio awning re-imagined

At Solar Structures, our goal has always been to create beautiful outdoor spaces while optimising the return on a client’s Solar PV investment.

In a recent project for a homeowner in Co. Limerick we were able to create a covered outdoor patio area that can be used as a family space no matter the weather. Our specially selected panels allow for a dappling effect underneath.

The total output from this array is just over 6KWp. In addition, the ‘brise-soleil’ panel array provides additional shading during the Summer months to prevent the large South facing open-plan room from overheating.

All our solutions are made to measure for each site and all our structures are designed and fabricated by our team in Co. Galway. We partnered with JFW renewables on this special project and we would like to thank the homeowners for their vision and their trust in us.

If you have an outdoor space that might need upgrading, or just an interest in looking at an innovative Solar PV deployment, get in touch.

Creating light filled spaces while harnessing the potential of Solar PV

Written by Ruairi O'Neill on September 8, 2023. Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on Creating light filled spaces while harnessing the potential of Solar PV

A new covered area to enjoy family meals together and clean green solar power to keep the lights on and the EV running, these were the requirements of another of our recent clients. In this case we designed a canopy with special light-well sections along with the use of special bi-facial panels.

The overall effect is to create a space that is now multi-use, allowing the family to maximise the enjoyment of the outdoor space at their home.

With 14 panels overall, 6 on their new Solar Structure, the homeowners have 5.8KWp of clean electricity.

We would like to thank the client for their vision on this project and for their support.

Revamping outdoor spaces via Solar PV

Like an episode from one of those Channel 4 property revamp programs from the 2000’s, we are very happy to unveil our own transformation project. The client had a pretty messy enclosed area to the side of their home and wanted something ‘special’. Like all good property transformation shows the key is in the big reveal!

We helped transform this space into a dry, light-filled, green-energy generating machine!

With 6 bifacial panels letting light through and a bespoke design with polycarbonate sections along with timber cladding, the new space matches the client’s need for an upgraded outdoor space. Now with no more rain falling on the space and reaping the benefits, it could be said that the space is now truly transformed!

A quick thank you to the client for their vision and their trust.

Outdoor spaces re-imagined – Solar PV carports

Written by Ruairi O'Neill on August 23, 2023. Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on Outdoor spaces re-imagined – Solar PV carports

A great leap forward for the premier county as Tipperary County has its first timber Carport!

We have just installed an 18 panel, 7.2KWp carport in timber at a site in Tipperary. The client wished to maximise their investment in Solar PV by combining it with adding a carport to their site.

Our two berth design can be used for a variety of uses from off-grid car charging stations to domestic carports to elegant patio areas.

We would like to thank the homeowner and John Lowry and the team at Home and Agri (https://www.homeandagrienergy.ie/) for partnering with us on this fantastic project.

Now all we need is for the sun to start shining all the month of September!

This 21 panel steel pergola, facing due South, with just over 8.5KWp capacity, is now covering a beautiful patio area in Co. Galway.

The dappling effect of our specially selected PV panels gives the whole structure a light, elegant feel.

Please contact us if you would like a case-study on this or any of our other innovative projects.

Making hay while the sun is shining

With our latest project, we wished to show the potential of using SolarPV arrays to upgrade outdoor spaces.

In this case the agricultural sheds were in an East West orientation and the client only required a modest number of panels. The solution was a series of supports to allow the panels to be optimally oriented, while also creating additional covered space underneath.

We thought that this solution shows the possibilities of innovative Solar PV deployments. For more ideas and inspiration, join us on our journey at Solar Structures.
