Pvilion’s solar-powered fabrics have been employed to create outdoor student lounges at the campus of Texas A&M University, providing students with both the power to charge phones and laptops and shade from the frequently harsh sun.

Brooklyn-based Pvilion has designed, manufactured and installed a 12-foot by 12-foot solar fabric canopy with adorning tensile fabric shade sails for added shade and attractiveness. The canopy is connected to silent, clean energy battery kits and did not require conduit or trenching.

The light weight canopy is waterproof, fire-retardant, and UV-resistant. It is also semi-permanent and can be relocated if desired. The shaded space was completed with hammocks, picnic benches, a WiFi hub, LED lighting and the solar powered battery kits for device charging.

As such, it meets the sustainability goals of the university without taking away from the attractive layout of the thoughtfully executed campus landscape.
