What's So Special About Power-Structures Solar Awnings
Our design is unique, both for the brackets architectural beauty and it’s strength. We have engineered the curve to be strong enough for the loads, while creating a graceful appearance. .What makes our brackets extra special is the quality of the TIG welds* done by certified welders on every bracket. You and your customers will appreciate how every weld has smooth consistent beads, like you would see on a custom-built bicycle frame. This is accomplished by many years of experience by our welders in a certified fabrication shop. The connection of the horizontal to vertical member at the top is welded all along the joint-a total of 5” of welded connection-overkill for the connection perhaps, but better safe than sorry.
Why is our awning mounting system better? Bolted together systems will inevitably start to jiggle, as the hole for the bolted connections grows with the force of the wind uplift or snow-load downward.
Worse yet, a bolt can sheer off and cause a catastrophic failure.
The Power-Structures Awning solution was developed by a designer/ solar installer with 35 years of experience in the architecture, construction and solar industries. We have taken the guess-work out of designing an awning, giving you a beautiful solution delivered to your home or office.
We know that you need fast quotes for materials, to get bids out to your customers.
We will get back to you on the same day or following morning with your estimate for your awning. We also know that you don’t have time to get custom brackets engineered and fabricated. You would like a solution delivered to your doorstep, on time & ready to install. At Power-Structures LLC, we are available right from the start, to help you determine whether our awning solution is a good fit for the building type and design constraints posed on your project.
- *TIG (tungsten, inert gas), uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the aluminum weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas such asargon
- On Steel Brackets, MIG (metal, inert gas), uses a wire feeding gun that feeds wire at an adjustable speed and flows an argon-based shielding gas or a mix of argon and carbon dioxide(CO2) over the weld puddle to protect it from atmospheric contamination.
Everybody loves the brackets. I think the curve helps all the square "ness" of a Solar panel install.
Under very strict funding time limits we installed a 6.7KW system in one night - largely thanks to your brackets !

We worked with Power Structures to create a PV awning that replaced a planned architectural shading element on a new home. Not only did the new PV array provide the needed shading to summer fenestration, but provided 4.8kW of power to boot- all at a cost REDUCTION from what was initially planned. It was well received well planned and implemented. The customers were thrilled to be able to choose the color of the parts from Power Structures, and we were thrilled to have all of the structural stamps ready to roll for local authorities. We would go with them without hesitation in the future.

The brackets arrived Friday and we are very pleased.
I was impressed by the build quality as well as the robust construction
