Reasons Why a Solar Canopy Is a Practical Solution

Many people prefer to install solar panels on their roof because it’s where they have the most free space. However, there are several instances where installing solar panel shade structures would be more beneficial:

There’s lots of shade over your roof. Solar panels, of course, need to be able to get a lot of sunlight in order to work. Lots of shade means less sun, and less power for you, which means that your roof is likely not the most optimal place for your panels.
You don’t have a lot of roof space. Of course, there’s one very obvious reason you might not want to put panels on your roof: you might not have a lot of space there to begin with! Finding somewhere else you can put your panels, therefor, is in your best interests.
Your roof doesn’t have a favorable position towards the sun. Much like with the shade issue, your roof needs to be positioned correctly in order to get as much sunlight as possible. This, of course, isn’t something that’s easily fixed, so if it’s not in a favorable position, you’ll likely want to find somewhere else for your solar panels.

A Solar Pergola, Solar Canopy, or Other Structure Offers Extra Utility

Knowing you need to put your solar panels somewhere else, however, doesn’t necessarily mean you know where you can put them. Oftentimes, people don’t have a lot of extra space on their property; that’s why they install solar panels on the roof in the first place. The best way to address this problem, then, is to create something that has more than one purpose. That’s where solar pergolas or canopies—come in. These structures are designed to be able to take in solar power while still providing extra utility and taking up less space. For example, a canopy could be placed over your porch, providing shade and protection from rain while still taking in sunlight. Or, you could install a pergola in your garden, and enjoy something that is both amazing and functional.

Keith Murphy

I recently renovated my home in Oak Bluffs and decided to go with solar for electricity and heating. I bid this out to several companies and chose Harvest Sun Solar. They stood out from the rest due to very competitive pricing and extreme dedication to making sure I got the the best system installed to meet my needs. Sean and his team did a great job with the proposal so I could see my options for solar panel selection and how many panels would be needed to provide for heating/cooling and electrical usage at our home. They completed the work on time and now my system is activated and is producing power. With great Federal and State tax incentives, I would highly recommend solar to those who intend to be in there home for more than a few years. Propane is a very expensive option and will be going higher next year. I am glad to be free of this high cost fuel for heating my home. If you decide to choose solar, you should get in touch with Harvest Sun Solar.

Had a really great experience with Harvest Sun Solar. Super easy process. Sean and team took care of all details. From the first discussion and proposal it was clear these guys knew what they were doing. And so far nothing but credit balance on my electric bill.

I was looking for a local installer for my solar project. Selecting Harvest Sun was easy after contacted four references. Harvest Sun is “what you see is what you get”. The only price change from the original proposal was the addition of EV charger feature to the inverter. My project took six months because the location of my house required multiple hearings from local boards. Sean helped us throughout the hearing process until we obtained the permit. He is also responsive in adjusting his work crew schedule so we can complete the project in 2019. Harvest Sun did all the necessary “paper” works for us, for net metering and for the MA renewable energy incentive program, SMART. I am now enjoying 0 monthly bills with credits even with the charging my EV and electric lawn mower

Vickie Thurber

We love our solar experience with Harvest Sun Solar. From the beginning, Sean was very thorough about all the details involved, so much information that I needed and received his help in understanding it all. The installation went seamlessly and it really fit perfectly on our roof and looks nice. The best part is that since it was turned on I have not paid an electric bill and earn credits each month. We are also enrolled in a Smart Program where we get a check each month. So glad we invested in this with them.
