Solar Canopies, Solar Verandas, Solar Pergolas, Solar Terraces & Solar Awnings With BIPV Technology.

Solar canopies, solar carports, solar verandas, solar pergolas, solar terraces, solar awnings, solar carports, solar windows and solar glass are expertly installed by G2Techk & The Gallery. We have specially developed and customised to order ‘built in photovoltaics’ (BIPV) solar technology that is integrated into our outdoor steel frames to create a major wow factor to your home or business.

It is important to understand that these solar solutions are much higher in cost than normal standard roofing or ground mounted solar panels systems or even standard canopy frames as you are combining the cost of more expensive customised state of art BIPV solar cell and glass technology and battery storage with bespoke painted to order stainless steel frames and specialist installation to create a residential living space or recreational commercial usable asset. Whilst the solar cells also offer shading from the sun, a distinct advantage to keep you, your guests, customers for commercial projects and of course vehicles cooler in the summer, the solar cells become part of the design and theme of the canopy, veranda, pergola, awning or carport and bringing a real talking point and a wow factor adding personal and financial value to your home or business.

With the addition of our infrared heating system, it means you can utilise your installation 365 days per year and therefore adding value to your home or business and creating a solution to help you both generate energy and reduce your energy bills that with inflationary cost of fuel rises means that if you plan on long term residing commitment, then installing our solutions could potentially save you a fortune over the coming years. With government pushing heavily for the public and businesses to invest in renewable technologies, then this is the time to realise that energy generation is the new home and business improvement.

Our solar frame solutions help you to generate and save energy and therefore helping to recoup on your investment and setting off the costs of the installation. This is achieved through the solar glass generating energy from the sun and battery storage, and it is important to consider that by installing our solar canopies you are adding value to your home.

Utilising our own developed energy calculation system, we can demonstrate to our Clients estimated energy generation and savings and payback periods based on the technical design of our solutions, other considerations and the manufacturing solar cell performance warranty of 25 to 30 years and compare that against rising inflationary energy costs.

It is also important to consider that our in house designed and fabricated solar canopies, verandas, awnings, pergolas and carports are also life style solutions and investments for your home, business or building.  Although we have an example of a two timber frame systems on here, we recommend our steel frames, or our reinforced aluminium frame system for smaller projects. This is because the  steel frames last longer than timber and aluminium frames ones and steel, being more structrally sound, also takes the weight of our bespoke BIPV solar panels so much better. 

We are happy to report that that we use the latest ‘Bi-Facial’ solar cell technology. This means that the solar cells absorb the sun’s energy from both sides . The solar cells are also formed into frameless all glass panels, which means with no back shading cover, then energy absorption and generation is further increased. The bespoke solar glass panels are integrated into our impressive steel frames. This means our system will out perform, out last and have a higher efficiency level than lesser life span, light weight standard aluminium frames that only use thin plastic film solar panels, with their limited performance warranty and their average low efficiency rates of around only 6 to 8%.

Standard thin film aluminium frame systems are also vulnerable to prematurely deteriorate as a consequence of the silicon carbon reaction on the plastic film used in their manufacturing process. This means that thin film systems age much quicker than our glass panel system and therefore thin film energy generation and solar returns are lower than what our technology will return. You do not have all of these issues with our system.  

The solar cells in our BIPV glass also create partial shading. The amount of cells can be varied to allow more light through but you should consider that the more solar cell area coverage on the panels, the more energy created. However, the BIPV glass allows enough light through them to give warmth from the sun and so that it is not too dark below your frame. The cells also have a two-tone style design feature in the glass panels, making them very pleasing to the eye.

Our steel or extra strength carbon steel frames are powder painted to your choice of colour. You can choose from an extensive collection of bespoke designs in both traditional and contemporary styles frames to more traditional and customised to order exclusive designs with detailing. As our integrated frameless solar glass panels are made to order, the size and power wattage required are calculated so that our clients can generate as much energy as possible within the variance of weather patterns and long life cycle of the solar cells. 

With depleting fossil fuel energy supplies, it is a good time to install & help the environment. It therefore makes sense to have your own backup or alternative energy source through solar and those of you with existing solar panels who wish you could generate more energy, then installing one of a solar canopy, veranda, awning or pergola or even carports as an add on technology will enable you to boost your energy generation.

If your roof is not suitable for solar panels, then our solar canopies, verandas, pergolas, awnings and carports are the solution by commissioning us to install them in your garden, or on land or leaning on to your home property or building

Every element of our client’s projects are carefully and professionally given special attentions with specialist services covering, survey, design, fabrication, installation and furnishing of. Generally, planning is not needed for these solutions. Where planning is required we can assist with the application process, by providing a report and making presentation to local authority and we are experienced at dealing with DNO’s.

Our solar canopies, verandas, awnings, pergolas, solar glass houses and conservatories should also be considered as an extension to your home, building or premises means you can relax in them even during the winter months and utilise them for generating revenue for hotels and restaurants, especially with our installed infrared heating option (See below).

To see how you can relax in your solar canopy, veranda, awning, pergola, solar glass house or solar conservatory in the winter by adding our outdoor infrared heating system to the installation please Click Here.

Any excess power you make using your solar can be used later with optional battery energy storage.  You can also click here for direct access to that section of our website.

For those with lower budgets, you may prefer to order one of our supply only solar canopy kit systems such as you can see in the examples below and that enables you to then have your local contractor and solar company install for you.

How To Contact Us:

To enable us to consider your project, we need some information about your property, its structure and layout, any wall/s involved, the land it is on and its boundary lines and it helps us if you can clarify what your general plans are for the property or building. We need to know about the location of electrical points and your existing or anticipated energy usage, 

You can send us this information in advance by email and including photographs of the proposed development areas. This helps us to understand your requirements and the project and also helps us to authenticate your enquiry. 

Alternatively, we can arrange a consultation by phone call, skype, zoom or teams. This will enable us to discuss the project with you whilst also both look at your property or building and land at the same time on Google Earth. Thereafter, we can book an appointment at your property, premises or business for an initial survey.

To help us authenticate your enquiry and so we can better understand your project needs and in return for our genuine, patient, design, supply, construction and installation service, with fair pricing and no ‘discount gimmicks’, then please book your first consultation appointment by either emailing us on info@g2tek-fid.co.uk or by calling us on 01422 349040 or by completing our contact form by clicking here
