Wall-Mounted Solar Panel Awnings and Canopies
Wall-mounted solar panels are creative solutions designed to work around limited roof space, achieve better sunlight capture, and create a power-generating shade structure. Tick Tock offers full-service installation of solar canopies, patio covers, and awnings to meet your power generation needs.
Why Should You Invest in a Wall-Mounted Solar System?
Lacking a south-facing roof that can support solar? Good news! If you have a south-facing wall but an east-west roofline, a wall-mounted solar panel system is a great option for you. Wall-mounted solar offers a variety of benefits, including:
Extra Solar Energy Capture
Wall-mounted solar panels can capture additional energy by taking advantage of reflected sunlight off the building’s wall. This reflection boosts the overall solar energy capture, especially when the wall is light-colored or reflective. The combination of direct and reflected sunlight allows the system to generate more electricity, enhancing the overall efficiency and output of your solar installation.
Cooler Operation
Wall-mounted solar panels benefit from improved air circulation around the panels, leading to cooler operating temperatures. Solar cells typically perform better when they are cooler, as higher temperatures can reduce their efficiency. By allowing more airflow around the panels, a wall-mounted system can maintain lower temperatures to improve energy production and extend the lifespan of the solar cells.
Building Shade
A wall-mounted solar array not only generates energy but also provides shade to the south-facing wall of the building, reducing heat gain. This shading effect can significantly lower the temperature inside the building, especially in air-conditioned spaces, leading to reduced cooling loads. By decreasing the demand for air conditioning, homeowners can enjoy additional energy savings and a more comfortable indoor environment.
Additional Build Options
Your solar panels don’t have to be wall-mounted; they can become a dual-purpose amenity for your property! Our solar canopies and solar patio covers allow you to generate clean energy while also creating a functional outdoor space.
Solar Canopies
Solar canopies are elevated above the ground, usually over parking lots, driveways, or walkways, with solar panels installed on top. They serve a dual purpose by generating solar power while providing shade and protection from the elements. We work with Lumos Solar, manufacturer of innovative solar canopies, carports, patio covers and related solar structures. These creative systems can be designed to complement the architecture of your home or business, adding a modern and visually appealing element to your property while making the most of underutilized space.
Solar Patio Covers
Tick Tock Energy works with several quality vendors, including Lumos Solar, that offer various structural solutions for mounting solar on patios, shade structures, awnings, and other custom applications. Frameless and translucent solar panels create shade but also provide partial light transmittance for a great aesthetic. A solar patio also protects your outdoor furniture, grill, and other items from the elements, extending their lifespan and maintaining their appearance.
