Add Style to Your Patio or Restaurant Outdoor Seating
If your patio or restaurant outdoor seating is facing south in any way, you know how hot it can be. That powerful sun is the answer! Use it to generate electricity and enjoy a more functional and aesthetic space to eat, relax and just enjoy. And if the weather turns on you, you’re safe and dry under a permanent solar structure that doesn’t require retracting or lowering in any.

- Call Awesun to discuss your plans or to schedule a free site evaluation
- Determine the size of space you’d like to cover with a solar canopy. Are there any color requirements you prefer for the aluminum framing? What about column supports – do you want to match an existing brick or stone veneer on your business or home?
