At Twinfix, we design and manufacture solar canopies that provide reliable shelter while enabling the integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels from specialist suppliers. By combining our proven canopy systems with renewable energy technology, sites can generate clean electricity while also benefiting from durable, practical outdoor cover.
A solar canopy is a highly efficient way to maximise space. It provides year-round weather protection for people, vehicles and equipment, while also supporting carbon reduction and energy efficiency targets. This dual benefit makes solar canopies ideal for schools, workplaces, healthcare facilities, transport hubs and commercial developments.
In education, they offer sheltered spaces such as dining areas, playgrounds or walkways while visibly demonstrating a school’s commitment to sustainability. In commercial and public sector settings, they provide shade and protection for car parks or outdoor seating areas while helping organisations offset energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint.
Our canopy structures are manufactured from aluminium, chosen for its strength, light weight and resistance to corrosion. Aluminium is also infinitely recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for long-term installations. Frames can be powder-coated in a wide selection of RAL colours, enabling the canopy to blend with surrounding buildings or reinforce branding. For projects seeking a softer aesthetic, a timber-effect powder coating can also be specified.
Solar panels are sourced from specialist suppliers and incorporated into our canopy systems during the design process. This ensures the finished structure is both functional and visually consistent, with panels seamlessly integrated into the canopy roof.

Colours & Coatings
Twinfix structures are finished with high-quality polyester powder coating, available in the full RAL range to complement any architectural scheme.
Timber-effect finishes provide the appearance of natural wood while retaining the durability and low maintenance of aluminium.
Safety and compliance are central to every Twinfix canopy. Structural components are UKCA marked in line with BS EN 1090-1, ensuring strength and regulatory compliance. Our roofing systems are designed for long service life, providing a robust foundation for solar integration and giving clients confidence in the durability of their investment.
Each solar canopy project is unique. Structures can be designed to cover car parks, walkways, outdoor dining areas and more, tailored to the available space and the operational requirements of the site. We work closely with solar installation partners to ensure the design and integration of PV panels aligns with the client’s energy objectives. Optional extras such as side panels, integrated lighting and branding can also be incorporated.
