News Article PSD Completes a Solar Pergola as Part of a Home Renovation

Check out this video showcasing a clever way to incorporate solar at your home! Our clients asked us to design and build a large pergola for their pool area that would provide shade and also utilize solar panels.

The design is composed of equally spaced columns that support a roof assembly of solar panels and rafters with shaped ‘rafter-tails’. The roof assembly pitches up and is supported by Y-shaped braces that form a truss along the back. It was a special project in collaboration with My Generation Energy that blends aesthetics and sustainability.
