Tenisle PV Press Release

Inside2Outside are leaders in the design, manufacture and installation of canopies, shelters and walkways. Inside2Outside have added to their existing range of products with the introduction of Tensile Photovoltaics (Tensile PV) which combines the tensile membrane material with photovoltaics (solar power).

What is it?

Tensile PV is a simple combination of Tensile Membrane Fabric with photovoltaics. Our Tensile PV uses thin-film, lightweight and flexible PV with our tensile membrane structures. Ideal applications of it are:
• Canopies
• Walkways
• Roofs

There are a number of options out there for those interested in solar power. Large, bulky photovoltaics are commonly available from many places. However, there are key characteristics that make Tensile PV stand out from other solar options.

Why Tensile PV?

Not only do you reap all of the benefits of having a shade structure, in that you receive protection from the sun, rain, snow and wind, but you gain added benefits from the photovoltaics. How?
• It produces renewable energy that will generate an income through the Government Feed-In-Tariff scheme (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk for more information)
• It saves money on electricity bills
• It is lightweight, flexible and aesthetically pleasing
• It has unique characteristics; generating electricity from lower light levels than previous PV available; meaning it is less reliant on the sun to be able to produce electricity, and thus ideally suited to the UK
• Tensile PV can reduce your Carbon Footprint
• It is future proof – keep your system up to date with Tensile PV

Further to this, schools can use Tensile PV to aid them with their curriculum and help them to achieve sustainable schools status. Tensile PV is an exciting, new product which brings a range of benefits to those who use it.

Tensile PV Canopies can pay for themselves

• Our structures save energy by providing shade
• Harvest energy from the sun as electrical energy for your own use or for the national grid
• Use electricity produced to reduce your energy bills
