GOING GREEN HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD
A solar panel patio cover is the perfect bill-cutting solution for thousands of home owners whose roofs are the wrong size, wrong orientation, or simply too beautiful to be covered with solar panels. Alum Works provides a custom solar framing system that not only provides the environmentally friendly and energy saving benefits of solar panels, but is also stylish. For anyone who would prefer not to have solar panels mounted on their roof, building a custom solar framing system is the best possible solution. A solar patio cover can either be attached to the house or be freestanding, functioning as a carport or a pool cover.
HOW IT WORKS
Non-Waterproof Solar Patio
Regular-framed solar panels sit on the second row of the aluminum patio cover frame, designed on a per-project basis for the required amount of panels. In this case, the aluminum patio cover is the supporting structure for solar system.
Waterproof Solar Patio Cover
A total waterproof installation provides you with shade and with 100% of rain protection. Frameless solar panels lie on a silicon cushion pressed between aluminum rails. This system allows you to get maximum efficiency in your patio cover construction project.
COLORS
Designed to be aesthetically harmonious with your home, our solar panel patio cover designs come with numerous different decorative accessories, columns, caps, and colors to add your own personal touch.
TECHNICAL INFO
The heavy-duty rafters, beams, and posts are designed to endure high winds and rain. They are engineered to withstand 70 lbs per SF of snow and up to 120 mph winds. As the solar panels get hotter, they will produce less power from the same amount of sunlight. Thus our open framing system allows the air to cool down the solar panels, keeping them as efficient as possible. Alum Works open framing system allows the air flow free under the panels and cool them down. Keep your solar panels functioning at the highest levels using a solar panel patio cover!
