Mixed-use commercial canopy system
Austin, Texas30.2672° N · 97.7431° W
340 kWp dual-use canopy · ASTM E1300 wind load certified · 6-month from concept to commissioning.
The challenge
Problem
A mixed-use developer required a canopy that delivered both shading for a public plaza and meaningful on-site generation, while satisfying Texas wind-load requirements and ERCOT interconnection timelines.
Our role
Solution
Stillpage matched the developer with a semi-transparent glass-glass module supplier, coordinated structural engineering review, and managed the ERCOT interconnection paperwork. We acted as the single accountable partner across architecture, structural, electrical and the EPC.
