Form, Function, and Flow: The Elements of Solar Panel Shade Structures
Solar canopies, awnings, and walkways are changing how we use solar energy. If you want a simple setup or a custom design, Lumos offers smart, flexible, and efficient solutions.
Designed for Performance and Efficiency
Lumos solar canopies, awnings, and walkways use bifacial panels that collect sunlight from both the front and back. This design increases energy output by using direct sunlight and light reflected from nearby surfaces—without needing extra space.
Our custom cell layouts allow for unique shade patterns and improved light capture. Each panel is built to handle different light conditions and deliver strong performance. Whether you’re covering a parking lot, walkway, or patio, Lumos solar structures provide reliable energy and effective shade in diverse lighting scenarios.
Built for Durability and Ease of Installation
Weatherproofing is a cornerstone of our design philosophy. Our solar canopies, awnings, and walkways are built to withstand the harshest elements: from heavy snowfall and high winds to intense sunlight and torrential rains. Lumos modules are the only solar panels available that have achieved a Class 4 Hail Rating. Each module is carefully sealed to prevent water leaks, ensuring long-lasting performance and structural integrity.
Installation is streamlined through our modular, prefabricated options. These ready-to-assemble structures minimize on-site disruption and accelerate project timelines, without requiring complex modifications.
Integrated Features for Modern Living
Modern energy systems need more than just solar power. That’s why our solar structures include built-in wireways and lighting. They light up public spaces at night, improving safety and visibility.
We also offer options for adding electric vehicle (EV) charging. This makes it easy to power EVs while using clean, solar energy from above. These smart features turn our structures into versatile, user-friendly energy hubs—all while keeping a clean, modern look.
Sustainability Meets Aesthetics
Our solar canopies, awnings, and walkways are more than functional energy solutions; they are architectural statements. Their sleek profiles and customizable designs ensure that sustainability doesn’t come at the cost of aesthetics. You’re not just investing in cutting-edge technology — you’re partnering with a team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of renewable energy design.
Incorporating a Lumos solar shade structure into your space not only reduces reliance on traditional, unsustainable energy sources, but also serves as a visible commitment to a greener future. Businesses can showcase their eco-friendly values, while public spaces benefit from reduced carbon footprints. With a variety of design options and the ability to customize layouts, our modules provide architects and property owners the freedom to create energy-positive structures without sacrificing style.
Applications Across Industries
The versatility of our solar canopies, awnings, and walkways make them suitable for a wide array of applications:
- Commercial Spaces: Create beautiful shaded parking, stylish storefronts, office spaces and entryways with energy-generating features.
- Municipal Projects: Enhance public infrastructure with sustainable energy solutions for parks, transit hubs, and community centers.
