Solar canopies

Generate renewable energy while creating a useful outdoor space with our solar PV panel canopies. They present a unique way to help schools decarbonise, save thousands of kilograms of CO2 per annum, and even offer a great opportunity to teach children about renewable energy sources, sustainability and the climate emergency.
