Solar Services

Sunny Electric is at the forefront of delivering solar-powered energy solutions, harnessing the potential of solar power to drive sustainable energy initiatives. Our specialization lies in the creation of innovative solar shade structures, including carports and solar shade canopy, which not only provide essential shading, particularly in the Southern Arizona region, but also generate solar energy to power your home. This not only saves on electricity bills but also promotes sustainability, contributing to a more promising future.

Solar Car Port

Imagine hopping into your vehicle in Tucson in June or July and feeling grateful that it's been parked in the shade all day. Then, remembering that the large rectangle providing the shade is also either saving or making you money. The benefits don't end with comfort and savings on your electric bill. You'll also extend the life of your paint job, battery, windshield wipers, tires, and interior.

Solar Shade Canopy

Rooftop solar is and has been a significant contributor to sustainable energy. At Sunny Electric, we ponder whether panels on a roof might overlook an opportunity for shading over much-needed areas of refuge during the summer months in Pima County. We offer custom designs to offset your electric bill and provide shade over vehicles and nearly all outdoor living spaces.

Solar Battery Storage

Unused energy collected from your solar array can be stored for evening and nighttime use to maximize the efficiency of your photovoltaic system. Battery storage is an option for our solar installations and can be added to most existing PV systems.

Solar Upgrade

If the space on your roof is maxed out, we can upgrade your inverter (if needed) to incorporate additional modules from a ground mount or elevated canopy to increase the size of your system. Other upgrades include solar panel replacement, inverter replacement, and battery storage.

Harness the power of the sun

Why embrace the sun? Let us illuminate the benefits:

Save on Energy Costs

Lower your electricity bills by generating your own power. Plus, solar panels tend to pay for themselves over time through energy savings.

Tax Incentives

Take advantage of government incentives and rebates for installing solar panels, saving you money in the long run,

Increase Property Value

Boost your home's resale value with the addition of solar panels, an attractive feature for potential buyers.

Future-Proof Investment

With rising energy costs and a shift towards renewable energy, investing in solar power is a smart choice for the future.

Energy Independence

Less reliance on traditional energy sources means more control over your energy consumption and costs.

Energy Security

Ensure a reliable source of energy even during power outages or fluctuations in the grid.

Benefits of Solar Shade Structures

Explore a stylish and efficient alternative to traditional roof-mounted solar panels to enhance your property and maximize energy generation.

Elegant and Functional 

A sophisticated and practical architectural design seamlessly integrates aesthetics with functionality. It optimizes land usage, improving property visibility and aesthetics, making it an ideal addition to any residence.

Increase House Appraisal Value

Solar panels, on average, increase a house's appraisal value by 4.1%, making them a worthwhile investment in home improvement. *the extent of this increase can vary depending on your location and the strength of the local solar market.

Provides Shaded Area

It offers a shaded area that not only shields vehicles and equipment from the elements but also establishes a cooler, more comfortable outdoor space. This shade is essential for minimizing exposure to UV rays and seamlessly transitions into a gazebo or pergola, extending the enjoyment of outdoor spaces.

Boosting Energy Production

Unlike traditional monofacial panels, such as those in our rooftop array, which only capture sunlight from one side, bifacial panels can harness solar energy from both the front and back sides. This dual capture capacity significantly boosts energy production. In the solar shade structure, elevated installation allows additional light absorption from the reflective surface below, potentially increasing energy output by up to 20%.

Dual Purpose

An innovative structure with dual functionality, providing shelter and shade to mitigate the hot temperatures in Tucson, while also serving as a reliable and efficient source of renewable energy generation.

Weather Versatility

Our extensive waterproofing solutions, facilitated by rubber sealants, ensure durability. Gutters installed between each solar panel effectively divert rainwater, enhancing resilience to various weather conditions.

No Roof Related Issues

The elevated design of the solar shade structure optimizes energy generation within limited space, overcoming constraints related to roof space limitations and the expense of re-roofing for solar panel integration. Furthermore, unlike traditional roofs requiring periodic recoating or re-shingling, the solar shade structure avoids the substantial cost associated with removing existing solar panels.
