Building Integrated Photovoltaic Solar Power Canopy Systems


How to take ordinary situations and create extraordinary opportunities.


Photovoltaic solar power canopy systems, just as architectural canopies, are used for a variety of building solutions, including shielding from the elements like rain, snow and sun as well as aesthetics and building architecture. 


Canopy systems are commonly seen at building entrances, walkways, indoor and outdoor waiting areas and service stations.


Building integrated photovoltaic solar power canopy systems use transparent modules and provide the same traditional benefits of architectural canopies, however, when the system generates its own electricity, you add the benefits of reduced energy costs and capital expenditures while generating "Green Building" LEED points.


Depending on State, local and Federal incentives, rebates and tax credits may have equal or reduced costs over conventional construction methods.


The system can be configured as a grid-tie-in to take advantage of net-metering or off-grid to supply power to emergency, security and parking area lighting via battery storage.  Wiring is not visible as it is contained in the support structure or underground, while supply components can be mounted out of view of pedestrians.



Commercial applications include:


Airports

Corporations

Amusement Parks

Stadiums & Arenas

Transportation Hubs

Healthcare Facilities

Hotels & Restaurants

Schools & Universities

Shopping Centers & Malls

Governments and Municipalities



Drawing on over 30 years of expertise in designing and intalling skylight and glazing systems and 8 years of photovoltaic canopy installation, Atlantech Solar knows that every architectural canopy project is unique.


We offer a variety of custom design, extrusion and fabrication solutions for your project.


If you can vision it, we can design, fabricate and install it.  Like fingerprints, no two canopy projects are exactly the same.  Even the project setting is unique. 


Whether its urban, rural or suburban, Atlantech Solar know how will guide you in every step of the process, from system design and planning to completion and commissioning.
