A solar pergola is much more than just a shelter. It has photovoltaic panels on its roof, enabling it to produce electricity from solar energy. This innovative installation offers numerous advantages, both for your comfort and for the environment. It reduces your electricity bills while actively participating in the energy transition. What's more, it enhances the value of your property by improving your home's energy performance certificate and complying with current environmental standards.

Why install a pergola with solar panels?

Installing a solar pergola has several major advantages:

Energy savings: by producing your own electricity, you reduce your energy bills.
Energy autonomy: you consume the energy you produce, thus reducing your dependence on electricity suppliers.
Enhancement of your property value: a solar pergola improves the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) of your home.
Respect for the environment: by using renewable energy, you reduce your carbon footprint.
Outdoor comfort: it protects your patio from the elements while creating a pleasant living space.

For what purpose should electricity be produced?

The solar pergola can be used to produce electricity for various uses:

Powering your home: use the energy produced to power your household appliances, lighting, etc.
Charging electric vehicles: If you want an electric charging station, choose our solar carport, which will also protect your vehicle.
Powering outdoor devices: plug in your gardening tools or summer kitchen appliances under the solar pergola.

With a solar pergola, you can produce and consume your own renewable energy. This solution allows you to:

Reduce your electricity bills: by producing your own electricity, you consume less energy from the grid.
Resell the surplus: in case of surplus, the electricity produced can be fed into the public grid and sold back to EDF.
Become more self-sufficient: reduce your dependence on electricity price fluctuations.
Contribute to the energy transition: using a clean and renewable energy source reduces your carbon footprint and encourages the use of green energy.
To make your investment profitable: a pergola equipped with photovoltaic panels enhances the value of your property and makes it more attractive if you decide to sell.

By choosing a solar-powered pergola, you are making a concrete gesture for the environment while enjoying a pleasant and modern outdoor space.

What is a solar pergola?: This is an outdoor structure equipped with photovoltaic panels. It has a dual function: to protect your outdoor space from the elements and to produce electricity. This innovative solution combines aesthetics, comfort and energy performance. The AKENA solar pergola is equipped with 63 mm thick insulating panels (sandwich panel) that house the photovoltaic panels, a thick, opaque layer that provides better visual and thermal comfort.
Why have a solar pergola installed?: There are many reasons to choose this solution:

Savings: reduce your energy costs by producing your own electricity.

Comfort: enjoy a protected and pleasant outdoor space.

Aesthetics: add a modern and elegant touch to your garden or terrace. The panels are invisible, masked by the pergola's gutter for a more aesthetic look.

Flexibility: you can choose the ideal location to get the best exposure.

Minimised risk: the solar pergola is an ideal solution for producing energy without compromising the waterproofing and safety of your home in the event of a fire.

Environment: play an active role in the energy transition by using a clean energy source.
How does the solar pergola work?: It operates thanks to photovoltaic panels installed on its roof. These panels capture solar energy and transform it into electricity that can be used to power your equipment. At AKENA, we use high-quality panels that guarantee optimal performance and durability.
What material does AKENA use for the structure of a solar pergola?: At AKENA, we use aluminium for the structure of our solar pergolas.

Aluminium has many advantages:

Durability: resistant to corrosion and bad weather, aluminium ensures a long life for your pergola.

Aesthetics: its sleek, modern design fits in perfectly with any outdoor style.

Easy maintenance: aluminium requires little maintenance, a simple cleaning with soapy water is enough.
Does the solar-powered pergola have an electrical socket so that a summer kitchen can be installed?: Yes, it can be equipped with a socket. This option allows you to install a summer kitchen directly under your pergola, using the electricity you have produced, or to connect your gardening equipment.
Can the solar pergola really reduce my electricity consumption?: Absolutely! By producing your own electricity, you reduce your consumption of energy from the grid. What's more, if you have a surplus, you can sell the electricity you have produced, thus generating additional income.
How much does a solar pergola cost?: The price depends on several factors:

Size of the pergola: the larger it is, the higher the cost.

Equipment: additional options (charging point, side protection, etc.) affect the final price.

Installation: the cost of installation is generally included in the quotation.

Don't hesitate to request a quotation to obtain a precise and personalised estimate for your project.
How can I optimise the installation of a solar-powered pergola?: To guarantee optimal production, we ensure that the installation is perfectly suited to the sunlight in your region. Our experts assess the ideal exposure and orientation to maximise the capture of solar energy. In addition, the superimposition of the panels on the aluminium crossbars allows for natural ventilation, thus ensuring maximum output.
How to customise your solar pergola: At AKENA, every project is unique.

We offer a wide range of customisation options to meet your specific needs:

Colour scheme: choose from a variety of colours to harmonise your pergola with your outdoor space.

Additional equipment options: add side protection, privacy screens or decorative trellises for more privacy.

Lighting options: opt for spotlights or LED strips to light up your evenings.

Electrical sockets: plug in your gardening tools or summer kitchen appliances directly under your pergola.
How do you maintain your solar-powered pergola?: Regular maintenance is essential to guarantee the durability and efficiency of your installation. The low height of the pergola facilitates access to the photovoltaic panels, making cleaning simple and safe. Proper maintenance not only ensures optimal energy production, but also extends the lifespan of your panels.
