Possibly Ireland’s most eco-friendly solicitors?

When Caolán and the team at Doyle & Company solicitors in Blanchardstown decided to lower their carbon emissions they understood that Solar PV would be an ideal solution for them.  The offices use a fair amount of electricity during the day, but are relatively low users at night.  This meant that Solar PV would appear to be an ideal solution for them.  However, the roof space on their office was limited and could only fit very few panels.

From discussing their situation with the team at Ecoplex, they decided to call Solar Structures.  Together we conducted a site survey and it became apparent that the South facing area behind the office could be upgraded through a solar veranda.  The veranda would create an additional covered area for the team to sit out under and would keep them relatively dry as they went out to their cars.  Most of all, the solar PV brise-soleil awning would reduce the offices from overheating in Summer and would give them an optimum solar pv deployment.

We at Solar Structures, the experts in upgrading outdoor spaces via Solar PV, are very grateful to both the team at Doyle & Company and to Conor Deasy and the team at Ecoplex energy for working with us on the special project.

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.

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.

Farmyard PV structures

An innovative Solar PV solution for farms

While the client’s name was not Old McDonnell he is a farmer in Co. Wicklow and our recent multi-functional structure would not be out of place on any farm yard.  The rustic style 21 panel structure, with special bi-facial panels, gives the owner a structure with a wide range of uses from storing farm equipment, to parking cars underneath.

We are very grateful to the client for his vision in choosing to upgrade his outdoor space while getting the benefits of a Solar PV installation with c.8.2KW of generation.

We were very happy to partner with Will and the team at SolarSmart on this project.

Single row solutions for limited roof-space

Is it a brise-soleil, is it a veranda, is it a covered walkway, no it’s a super structure!

We have been developing a series of solutions for limited roof space.  This client required additional panels on their garage to give them the generation they needed.

Our solution was a series of lean-to supports that would allow additional panels to be installed.  Whether the end-user uses it as a brise-soleil, a veranda or a covered walkway, we are just happy to help out in this instance.

We would like to thank the homeowner and JFW renewables for partnering with us on this project.
