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.

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.

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.
