Solar awning: produce electricity in style
Installing a solar canopy on the facade of your house or building is today a simple, elegant and sustainable solution to combine protection against rain and green electricity production.
Also known as a photovoltaic canopy, this stylish structure creates a sheltered space in front of a door, bay window, or entrance, while integrating high-performance solar panels. At Solar Structure, we don't offer standard kits, but rather a customized solution perfectly suited to each project: a pre-assembled product , designed in France, installed and connected by our team. A true alternative to a solar roof or photovoltaic pergola , designed for interior comfort, energy savings, and exterior design.
A custom solar awning for your project
At Solar Structure, each solar canopy is designed to precisely meet the needs of our customers: dimensions, type of facade, method of fixing, orientation in landscape mode, materials, everything is adjusted to the millimeter.
Whether for a detached house or a commercial building, we ensure easy, quick and perfectly integrated installation.
Our structures are made from 6mm aluminum sheet, laser cut and then bent, a strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant material.
Thanks to its sleek design, with no visible wires or boxes, the canopy blends harmoniously into any facade, whether it is a polycarbonate door, a brick wall, or a contemporary entrance.
The electricity produced by the photovoltaic panels is transformed by a micro-inverter and then fed into your electrical grid for optimized self-consumption. An aesthetically pleasing, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution that increases the value of your property while reducing your energy bills.
How our photovoltaic awning works
Our solar canopy relies on an intelligent system combining panels
Photovoltaic panels , micro-inverters , and a pre-assembled aluminum structure . It attaches directly to the facade using robust A316L stainless steel fixing systems, suitable for all types of walls. Cable routing is integrated into the profiles , ensuring a high-end finish without compromising aesthetics. Electricity production begins immediately upon installation: the solar source powers your home or business network and can power your equipment (lighting, heat pump, everyday appliances, etc.). This next-generation sunshade also reduces heat in adjacent rooms, limiting the need for air conditioning.
The advantages of a Solar Structure solar awning
Installing a solar canopy on your home or building offers far more than just weather protection. Beyond shielding you from rain, wind, or direct sunlight, our photovoltaic awning enables independent electricity production, helping you cut energy costs.
Our high-performance, sleek solar panels convert sunlight into usable electricity for your home via a microinverter, promoting self-consumption while enhancing your property’s entrance with a modern, refined design.
Additionally, the canopy acts as a natural sunshade, reducing summer overheating and glare on windows. This minimizes the need for air conditioning, supporting long-term energy savings. It’s a practical, stylish, durable, and eco-friendly solution.
A design solution, adaptable and high-performing
Designed to integrate seamlessly with all styles of facades and doors , our solar canopy is entirely customizable , from its width and depth to the type of modules used. You can choose between framed or laminated double-glazed modules, with a landscape orientation, depending on the available space and desired design. The lightweight yet ultra-resistant aluminum structure is available in several standard colors (white, black, gray, red, etc.) but can also be powder-coated in non-RAL colors for extensive personalization. The support patterns can also be customized during laser cutting. For even greater comfort, options such as LED lighting , a suitable diffuser, or specific fixings can be added. Unlike a DIY kit, we guarantee easy installation: each product is pre-assembled in our workshops in France for quick on-site installation by our teams. The result: a luminous canopy , perfectly integrated and immediately functional.

To ensure your solar canopy perfectly suits your project and needs, Solar Structure offers numerous customizable options. Each canopy can thus become a unique structure, designed down to the smallest detail to combine functionality, aesthetics, and performance.
