An awning is a shade structure that extends from an existing structure. Consider putting up a backyard deck or patio. What if you can somehow provide shade while also collecting energy? Solar panel awnings are an excellent solar alternative to rooftop panels.
You can achieve both with a solar awning, which can be built without damaging your building’s current roof. As seen in the images below, a solar panel awning can be a great way to cover your home’s patio.
