Custom photovoltaic railing: combine safety, design and solar energy
The solar barrier or photovoltaic railing is a sustainable solution that secures your spaces while producing green electricity. Through the integration of solar cells in a high-quality aluminum structure, it transforms sunlight into usable electrical energy while ensuring effective protection on your balconies, terraces, or outdoor spaces.
What is a photovoltaic glass railing or solar safety barrier?
A photovoltaic railing is a safety element made of aluminum or lacquered structure, integrated into your balcony, terrace, or any other space to be secured, which combines the following functions:
• Fall protection (compliant with NF standards)
• Electricity production using integrated photovoltaic panels
• Refined aesthetics with customizable RAL finishes
Unlike a traditional fence , this solar balustrade not only ensures the safety of people , but also enhances your building by making it energy self-sufficient .
This type of solar system is suitable for homes as well as commercial buildings, hotels, spas, and public spaces. It can be combined with other Solar Structure equipment such as a solar pergola, solar awning, or solar carport to form a cohesive energy system .
Why choose a solar barrier?
Choosing a solar barrier means opting for a smart and ecological solution that transforms every linear meter of railing into an electricity production source.
Key advantages:
• Secures high-risk areas (balcony, roof, passageway, technical area)
• Produces green electricity through the integration of solar panels
• Offers visual protection while allowing light to pass through
• Compatible with stand-alone or mains-connected installations
• Can power a battery, a lighting kit, or contribute to the general power supply
This photovoltaic solution is particularly recommended for modern architectural projects, positive energy buildings, or renovations aimed at energy efficiency. It can be part of an automatic barrier kit or integrated into a complete solar installation with custom solar panels.
Our strength: unlimited customization
At Solar Structure, each photovoltaic railing is designed as a unique solution to a specific need . Unlike standard kits, we do not offer a "ready-to-install" version: your project, your building, and your constraints dictate our design.
What this means in practical terms:
• Custom dimensions : height, length, post thickness, number of rails, type of fixing (French or English)
• Custom modules : single or bifacial double-glass solar cells, adjusted transparency, specific shape and cut
• Choice of finish : RAL color of your choice, matte or glossy appearance, lacquered or anodized profile
• Total adaptability : corner configurations, curves, installation on slab or facade, with or without supporting structure
Your solar barrier can therefore be integrated into a hotel terrace , a residential balcony , or a large-scale professional architectural project. Our system is always adaptable. The only limitation: the regulatory requirements for photovoltaic panels depending on their use.
The advantages of the Solar Structure photovoltaic railing
Our solar railings are not just technical products: they are architectural elements that meet the needs of safety, energy production, and aesthetics.
What makes Solar Structure different:
• Designed and manufactured in France, using materials selected for their durability
• Bifacial double-glass modules to capture solar energy from both sides and optimize electricity production
• Extruded aluminum structure EN AW 6060 T: lightweight, robust, and 100% recyclable
• Zero visible wires, cable routing integrated into the profiles
• Compliant with standard NF P01-012 – enhanced safety for all types of uses
And above all: our photovoltaic railings are designed to last, with a long lifespan, low maintenance, and simple installation by a qualified craftsman.
Applications: individuals, businesses, local authorities
Thanks to their great versatility, our solar barriers are suitable for many types of outdoor spaces and uses:
For individuals:
• Secure a balcony or terrace while producing renewable energy
• Improve visual protection without blocking light
• Enhance your home with a stylish and eco-friendly solution
For businesses:
• Produce electricity for self-consumption (lighting, charging station, battery, etc.)
• Improve the company's CSR image with a sustainable investment
• Reduce energy costs by utilizing available space
For local authorities:
• Create safe and energy-independent public spaces
• Integrate into a school, cultural center, or administrative building
• Combining safety, a reduced carbon footprint, and modern aesthetics
And always, in addition to or in coordination with a solar pergola , a solar awning or a solar carport .
A custom design, high technical performance
At Solar Structure, design is never a detail. Each solar railing is a fully-fledged architectural element , which blends into the existing structure or becomes a strong visual signature, depending on your needs .
Design-wise:
• Choice of RAL color (standard or non-standard)
• Lacquered or anodized profiles , with a matte, satin or glossy finish
• Bi-glass modules available in double-sided or semi-transparent versions
• Integration into existing infrastructure or creation of a complete standalone system
Technical side:
• Standard height of 1130 mm (or customized)
• A316L stainless steel fixings : surface or English style mounting
• Photovoltaic panels supplied in portrait or landscape orientation, with suitable solar cells
• Integrated cable routing within the profiles for an invisible finish
Each railing thus becomes a high-quality product , designed to maximize solar energy production while respecting safety standards. A system that is as beautiful as it is efficient.
Technical documents
Each solar railing comes with a complete technical data sheet: type of fence, number of rails, support type, mounting options, solar cell characteristics, and photovoltaic installation recommendations. Our documents help you easily install your photovoltaic panel. Available on request, they detail the usage possibilities and services offered throughout France.
