Canyon Solar was featured in a Smart Commercial Energy article exploring the difference between solar car shades and solar canopies, and why the distinction matters for commercial and large-scale installations.
The article outlines how lightweight solar car shades, while cost-effective upfront, are typically limited in span, durability and long-term performance. In contrast, engineered solar canopy systems – such as Canyon Solar’s prefabricated modular canopies – are designed to support higher generation capacity, integrated EV charging and long-term structural resilience.
By using prefabricated components and modular design, solar canopies can be deployed efficiently in live commercial environments while minimising disruption to operations. This makes them particularly well suited to supermarkets, councils, transport hubs and other high-traffic carparks where uptime and patron access are critical.
The feature reinforces Canyon Solar’s position as a specialist in scalable, engineered solar canopy infrastructure, purpose-built for commercial applications rather than adapted shade structures.
