Solar Shelters

The Future of Smart Outdoor Shading & Renewable Energy

We are pleased to introduce the new Solar Shelter, a next‑generation aluminium shading structure that transforms outdoor spaces into elegant, functional, energy‑generating environments. Using advanced photovoltaic glass technology, the Solar Shelter delivers reliable shade, architectural style and powerful renewable energy – all in one seamless system.

Perfect for homes, commercial buildings, education settings, hospitality, and public spaces, it allows you to save energy, increase property value, and enjoy year‑round comfort with a beautifully integrated design.

What Is the Solar Shelter?

The Solar Shelter is an innovative aluminium roof system engineered to hold high‑efficiency solar glass panels. These panels generate up to 450Wp each and capture solar energy from the sun while providing exceptional shade and protection below.

Available in multiple configurations – wall‑mounted, island, or dual‑pitch – the Solar Shelter adapts to any outdoor space and blends effortlessly with modern architecture and existing Broadview shading systems.
