The smart shading system is solar-powered, thus, it captures and delivers clean power to a house once it is connected to the electrical grid.

The American solar panel system also includes high-tech accessories like an Electrical Vehicle charger, smart lighting, electrical outlets, Bluetooth speakers and more. The smart shading canopy boasts a durable aluminum structure and thoughtfully integrated cabling and design aesthetics.
