Rang a Sé ó Scoil Sailearna leis 2KWp an Bike Shelter
What if we could combine sustainable transport with renewable energy?
What if the shelter that keeps our bike saddles dry could also generate clean green energy, ensuring a better planet for the 6th class students of Scoil Sailearna.
5 panel Solar PV bike shelter
Introducing our 2KW Solar PV bike shelter solution for schools, offices and homes, with the help of Rang a Sé.
Míle buíochas le Scoil Sailearna as an céim fad-radharcach seo a ghlacadh agus struchtúr nua le dhá-fheidhm a fháil do ghasúir na scoile, ag laghdú billí leictreacha agus ag cur le háiseanna na scoile do mhuintir na rothair.
We hope that this simple solution can help the school encourage more bike trips, lower their electricity bills and help us all lower our carbon emissions.

When Ciarán from EcoHorizon (one of Ireland’s leading Solar PV solutions providers) was looking to install a 45 panel car park canopy, he knew exactly who to partner with on this fantastic project. We are delighted to announce that we have completed work on the structure, which supports 45 bi-facial PV panels and provides a canopy over 6 parking spaces at a location in the South-East.
The panels are all facing South, at an angle of 15 degrees. This gives the client the benefit of a great orientation as well as a useable structure, in this case a 6 bay parking canopy. As you can see the project used bi-facial panels, which should give great benefits over the long term.
The structure itself is from galvanised steel, where required we can coat our structures to match the client’s colour requirements.
We hope to partner with EcoHorizon on many similar projects in the future and we wish the client many hours of sunshine over the coming months.

Often when homeowners and solar installers are looking at a roof for a solar deployment a number of factors might mean that the roof is not suitable for a typical deployment of solar panels.
Home with limited space for typical Solar PV roof install
Some of the main reasons are:
1 Orientation: In many cases the roof could be orientated in such as way as to provide a limited amount of South facing roof.
2 Velux and Dormer bungalows: Due to the addition of windows often there is limited clear space on the South / East / West sides of the roof, which means that the design might not allow for as many panels as required to be installed.
3 Roofing material: Often the material used on the roof means that a typical roof installation is just not possible.
18 panel car port
We often have solar installers and homeowners / businesses come to us looking for a solution to these challenges. We have developed a number of options that provide the end-user with a robust solar deployment while maximising the use of their outdoor space.
In a recent case study we installed a lean-to ground-mount system to a pre-existing wall. This is a solution we believe could work very well on urban locations with limited scope for a larger pergola type structure.
Where the space permits, we would recommend a free standing pergola / carport as this type of deployment allows the client to use the space underneath.
If you are a solar installer, looking at a complicated deployment where limited roof space could be an issue, give us a call. We design, fabricate and install bespoke ground mount systems and free standing structures, that help homeowners and solar installers harness the solar PV potential of any location.
Due to the vision of a recent client by repurposing our carport into an outdoor gym complete with an integrated pull-up bar, we would like to offer a free pull-up bar with the first three orders placed for domestic structures in January 2023.
If you are not quite the pull-up bar type, we can look at adding in some other modification such as brackets for an outdoor kitchen, hammock hooks or anything that you can imagine!
This structure also came with an integrated guttering system along with an EV charger. Get in touch for more information.
We are very proud to showcase our latest car port project in conjunction with JFW renewables. This 18 panel, 7.2KW capacity solar PV array will do the following:
Save money for the homeowner on their electricity bills
Generate clean green energy
Lower their carbon emmissions
Give them an additional outdoor space
Provide them with a EV charging solution
We would like to thank the homeowner and JFW for entrusting us with this project.

We are very proud to announce that Ciotóg.ie, a Connemara based arts group have partnered with Solar Structures to provide zero carbon mobile power to a series of zero-carbon arts events in Connemara. Ríonach, the CEO of the Arts group is really excited about the upcoming events:
“We had always wanted to do something that would make our festivals carbon free. We came across the mobile dual-axis arrays that Solar Structures had developed, and we decided to partner with them to power our Summer festival season. We think it will be great to organise events that are zero carbon, all the while powered by Solar Structures off-grid solutions.”
Our 4-panel array, powering off-grid events in Conamara
Two events organised by ciotog.ie were powered by the Solar Structures 1.6Kw dual axis array, with a 5.5Kwh battery, which acted as a demonstration of the potential of Solar PV to power events in locations without electricity power. The arts group were very conscious of the amount of carbon generated by diesel generators and wanted to prove that a different approach was possible. They searched far and wide for a solution, until they found Solar Structures and our off-grid mobile array. In the words of Ruairi O’Neill, CEO of Solar Structures:
“We are really looking forward to proving our technology at off-grid events. We believe that in the coming years many more festival and event organisers will be looking for low-carbon solutions to their energy challenges. We are very happy to support Ríonach and Ciotog.ie this Summer. Now that we have a solution designed and built, we are looking for more festivals and events to show the wider public the potential of Solar PV and off-grid battery technology.”
