Solar Awnings and Pergolas are great solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Good Energy Solutions installs solar awnings and pergolas engineered to withstand wind speeds in the Central U.S. Region, including Kansas and Missouri.

The benefits of a solar awning or pergola include:

1. Solar Awnings and Pergolas Provide Additional Space. Not all roof space is conducive to solar. Roof orientation, shading, and fire codes may decrease the amount of panels that can be put on a roof. A solar awning pr pergola provides additional space for solar panels when a larger solar system is desired.
2. Solar Awnings Reduce Energy Use. When mounted to the South and West sides of a building, the shade from the awning keeps the building cooler, effectively reducing air conditioning loads during long hot summer days. A solar awning both reduces energy use and generates energy.
3. Solar Awnings and Pergolas Provide Shelter. Solar Awnings can provide shelter from sun and rain.
4. Solar Awnings Generate More Energy Than Flush Mounted Systems. Awnings and pergolas provide cooler cell temperatures due to ample air flow beneath the modules. 

Systems Include: Awning or Pergola Racking System, Solar Panels, Warranties, Labor, Interconnection Agreement.

This long awning structure was installed on the side of this visitor’s center at the Baker Wetlands located in Lawrence, Kansas. This photo shows the structure before the solar panels were installed. The solar awning dramatically reduces cooling loads during the summer.

Solar Pergolas provide functional shade for homeowners whether it’s poolside or for additional roof space for solar.

Solar Pergolas are a little more decorative for visual appeal at residential properties.
