Tensile Membrane Photovoltaic Structures
Fusion SkyShades are excited to introduce tensile membrane structures with embedded power generation, also known as Photovoltaics or PV.
Fusion SkyShades are excited to introduce tensile membrane structures with embedded power generation, also known as Photovoltaics or PV.
The technology now exists to combine the lightweight versatility of tension membrane roofing and structures, with the energy harnessing capabilities of photovoltaics.
This means that we can now collect the sun's energy that hits Earth, and put it to good use by converting it into electricity which is then connected to the main utility power grid - a "grid-connect" power installation.
Schools can now collect energy whilst children are shelted from the elements, a smoking shelter outside a venue could let you charge your phone, electric cars could be charged whilst they're parked in a shaded car park - the possibilities are endless!
Farming and agricultural buildings, or warehouses and depots, can put their large scale buildings to an unexpected use, by covering an existing roof with tensile membrane photovoltaic roofing to generate power.

Enough sun hits the earth's surface in one hour to power global energy needs for an entire year. PV now gives us the opportunity to effectively harness that energy.
Many people think you need it to be sunny for solar energy to be gathered, but (luckily for us here in England!) that's not the case. Photovoltaics uses daylight rather than sunlight.
As concerns about the future of our planet grow, there's no better time to embrace clean, green energy for your business.
Depending on your requirements, we can provide Photovoltaic solutions (PV) or higher converting Photovoltaic solutions (PV).
If you create a roof from a tension membrane, then it can be "shaped", thus changing or heightening the profile of a building - opening up endless new possibilities in the architectural world. As the roofing created with tension membrane is so light weight, not as many load-bearing walls or columns are required, reducing initial build costs or resulting in one less issue to consider when changing a roof.
Tension Membrane is much more affordable than glass or polycarbonate for roofing and requires considerably less ongoing maintenance work.
If you're considering using Tension Membrane in an already hot building or warm climate, then it's heat reflective properties can reduce air conditioning costs, and in doing so, potentially help with the health of the workforce as air conditioning isn't great for everyone.
