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.

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.

Perfect panel orientation while protecting the rubbish bins

Written by Ruairi O'Neill on June 6, 2023. Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on Perfect panel orientation while protecting the rubbish bins

We just thought to highlight another recent project, which enabled the home-owner to orient his new Solar array due South for maximum generation. Our galvanised steel structure has created the perfect space for storing his bins underneath, protected from the wild weather of the Wild Atlantic Way. That said, after two weeks of non-stop sunshine, the wild weather seems to be a world away.

This project has 10 420W panels and was undertaken in conjunction with JFW renewables. We would like to thank the homeowner for taking this journey with us.

‘Komorebi’ style solar PV dappling in North Mayo

Written by Ruairi O'Neill on June 2, 2023. Posted in Uncategorized. No Comments on ‘Komorebi’ style solar PV dappling in North Mayo

On a spectacular day in North Mayo, we installed a 15 panel, 6KW solar pergola. The panels, all special bi-facial panels, give great light underneath and create a dappling effect under the structure. While our panels might not exactly create the famous Japanese concept of dappled sunlight through leaves, they do give a uplifting feeling to those that stand under their shade.

We envisage cost savings of over €1,200 per year with our array, while at the same time creating a special outdoor space.

We would like to thank the homeowner for their vision and trust in us with this project.

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.
