My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shade and canopy?

10 years ago
Hi,
How much shade does this system provide? Or how can a canopy be attached underneath for shade? And what about hail?

    It provides quite a bit of shade, but the warmth from the sun still comes through a little. As for the solar panels SolarWorld Sunmodule are really good for this, I installed them in a hail prone area in Colorado years ago and they are still standing. https://youtu.be/M6v2lDa8Hos
