The aluminum canopy you want to add to your building will already do a number of things, including providing protection from the weather. But working with MASA Architectural Canopies can provide you with additional things to consider with your canopy. Most of these considerations center around the use of technology and incorporating it into your canopy build. From adding security cameras, to creating a new location for solar panels, to enhancing the experience with custom LED lighting, your aluminum canopy can quickly turn high tech in a number of ways. Talk with our design team today and they will work with you to ensure that your aluminum canopy is prepared for all of your tech needs.
Planning for Solar Panels
Even a small canopy can usually accommodate a single solar panel, and this can help to charge a battery that powers LED lights under the canopy overnight. However, larger canopies can handle larger solar installations, and by planning ahead, you can have the canopy ready to quickly accept solar panels and wiring. But even if you didn’t want to add solar panels, other useful features like lighting and cameras are a good addition as they are protected from the weather.
In other cases, you may want to pipe your indoor music outdoors to give people a taste of what they can enjoy inside the building. Or it just enhances their environment while waiting. In other cases, you may also want to install a microphone along with speakers to provide two-way communication. This can be useful when a secure door is being used, such as for a hotel or apartment building.
