The systems are rated for winds up to 120 miles per hour - higher than a category 2 hurricane.Īrka Energy told Electrek that PowerGazebos would be available to ship from its warehouse in May. The roofs of PowerGazebos are pitched at slight angles to maximize efficiency, are waterproof and made to withstand snow, and include a 25-year warranty. A PowerGazebo could meet a good portion of this need - and reduce your energy bill significantly. And another great option for homeowners to go solar without a rooftop is to explore community solar programs, such as those suggested by the platform Arcadia.įor reference, the blog estimated that a 6-kilowatt solar system would produce about 10,950 kilowatt-hours per year (though systems vary widely in production). As with other solar-energy systems, it lets you save money with free power from the sun and may reduce your use of electricity made by burning fuel that creates planet-warming pollution.Īs Electrek reported, other solar gazebos, pergolas, and canopies are out there. The PowerGazebo - which, according to the product’s website, will come in more than 10 design configurations - addresses the problem of powering your home with solar (at least in part), even if you don’t have the roof for it or don’t like the look of panels atop your house.
Picture this: keeping cool in the shade, perhaps with an icy drink in hand, smoke drifting from an electric grill, while above you, the system’s black-glass “ PowerTiles” provide shelter from the sun and simultaneously crank out kilowatts. This stylish free-standing structure allows you to power your home with solar energy while adding outdoor covered space and not moving a single shingle on your roof. Some of the best technologies work hard while letting you relax, and the PowerGazebo from Arka Energy seems to fit this bill.
