Shade that generates energy and income
Public spaces in Israel face a growing need for shading solutions – from sports fields and parking lots to recreational areas and community spaces – all requiring safe, comfortable coverage for the benefit of residents.
However, the cost of constructing high-quality shading structures can reach hundreds of thousands of shekels per unit, and even over a million for double structures – creating a significant budget challenge for municipalities, kibbutzim, and local communities.
Green Energy offers a unique, cost-effective, and innovative solution:
Functional solar canopies – with no investment required from the client – providing both shading and clean energy production for the benefit of the community.
Our Solution – Double Value: Shading + Green Energy
Our project offers a unique combination of shading structures and photovoltaic (PV) systems that generate electricity, sold to the grid under a regulated tariff framework. This enables full financing of the canopy with zero upfront investment, while contributing to environmental sustainability and generating steady income from the energy produced.
Why now?
Building a solar canopy requires a construction permit, and only after obtaining it can an application for solar installation quotas be submitted to the electric company.
The current tariff regulation is nearing its end – it’s essential to act now to secure eligibility and launch the project in time.

How does the solar canopy model work with no cost to the client?
The canopy is built by Green Energy through the installation of solar systems on top of the shading structures. The electricity produced is sold to the grid under a regulated tariff framework.
The income from the electricity covers the cost of the project, meaning there is no financial investment required from the municipality or kibbutz.
What are the advantages compared to a regular canopy?
Unlike standard shading structures that only provide shade, solar canopies offer both shading and a stable source of income.
In addition, the project contributes to environmental sustainability and enables significant savings in development and maintenance budgets.
Where can solar canopies be installed?
The solution is especially suitable for sports fields, parking lots, community spaces, schools, parks, and open halls.
We conduct a feasibility analysis and tailor the project to each site – based on area, sun exposure, and regulatory requirements.
Why is it important to act now?
The allocation of solar quotas under the current regulation is nearing its end, making it crucial to submit permit applications as soon as possible.
Starting the process early ensures eligibility for a tariff quota and enables timely execution—before regulatory opportunities run out.
