Silicon Energy, innovative manufacturer of highly durable double-glass photovoltaic (PV) modules and
CrystaLite, Inc., a Northwest manufacturer of high quality skylights, sunrooms, and railing systems; are
working together to deliver pre-engineered, customizable, PV-integrated structures for your home or
business. This unique partnership delivers dual purpose, PV-integrated patio and carport coverings,
electric car charging carports, and picnic shelters to provide cover from the sun or inclement weather, as
well as generate electricity for your home or business.
PV-integrated structures can be grid-tied, or battery backed to generate electricity in remote locations,
giving system owners an alternative to traditional roof or ground mounted installations.
Silicon Energy manufactures an innovative double-glass PV module that balances beauty, safety, quality,
and long-term durability. Backed by CrystaLite’s expertise in engineered high quality structural solutions,
system owners can benefit from a PV-integrated structure that is designed to last, even in the most
severe environmental conditions. An engineer's wet stamp is available on request for job specific
requirements, for both railing and structures.
This offering benefits from the Silicon Energy industry leading 30-year warranty, 125psf load rating, and
Class-A fire safety rating on its solar modules.
PV-INTEGRATED
STRUCTURES
2. Silicon Energy’s double-glass design allows light transmission through the solar module and has a
mounting system that fully encloses and protects all the system wiring, delivering an aesthetically-
pleasing, yet practical shelter. The open-framed, shingle-like mounting system of the Cascade Series PV
Module and Mounting System maximizes shedding of snow, dirt and debris from the modules, and
optimizes solar production.
PV-Integrated Structures are modular and flexible, offering architects, designers, and home or business
owners, customizable offerings for patio covers, carports, deck covers, or picnic shelters. PV-integrated
structures are available in 4’ widths and lengths, with almost any configuration resulting from 4' span
construction, with both self-supporting and lean-to options.
Installations are performed by CrystaLite and Silicon Energy’s preferred installation providers, and
may benefit from the 30% Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit
