Greenhouses by Solar Innovations - Residential, Commercial, and Institutional

I-Beam Greenhouses by Solar Innovations™
Build the Perfect Environment™

Solar Innovations™ has completed extensive research and development in the greenhouse market and has recently developed several new products, which are available in applications ranging from small residential to large commercial applications.  Developed through industry research and customer feedback, the modular I-Beam Greenhouse was designed and evaluated to meet nearly any aesthetic or structural need. 

As with any of Solar Innovations™ structure, customers are able to choose from basic, starter greenhouses to the largest institutional greenhouses depending on their needs.  The basic two inch by two inch I-Beam rafter, coupled with a leading edge air and water performance system, creates the highest performing greenhouse in the industry, while maintaining a charming appearance.  Although the new I-Beam system is aesthetically similar to greenhouses of the past, it is the highest quality, technologically-advanced product available in its category. 

I-Beam Greenhouses

For hobby greenhouse customers interested in utilizing a growing environment smaller than 200ft2, Solar Innovations™ I-Beam greenhouses may be the perfect answer.  In the standard I-Beam greenhouses, Solar Innovations™ offers a glazing option of 8mm polycarbonate.  Upon customer request, Solar Innovations™ may upgrade their glazing to 16mm polycarbonate which will increase their R and U values and the overall functionality of the greenhouse.  I-Beam hobby greenhouses may be made permanent under most residential codes by adding footers and/or foundations.  They may also be glazed with tempered glass once permanently fastened; please check your local codes before purchasing a greenhouse with this intent.

Available in lean-to and double pitch structures with either curved or vertical single pane glazing or hip and valley designs, Solar Innovations™ offers residential and small commercial I-Beam greenhouse systems.  Depending on the application and customers’ requests, various polycarbonate and insulated glazing options are available.  Unique to the I-Beam system, Solar Innovations™ can accommodate six to eight foot spans without horizontal structural supports. The trusses and supports will also incorporate the I-Beam system for structural integrity as well as the aesthetic appeal.

Commercial greenhouses featuring the I-Beam system can incorporate spans limited only by substructure design options.  The hybrid design incorporates the best of the last 10 years’ technology into the hybrid trusses and gutter connection options. Options from clear span and truss greenhouses to post system can be designed to meet each customer’s requirements and desired investment. 

With each of Solar Innovations, Inc.’s greenhouse systems, customers can utilize an integrated substructure or basewall, whether supplied by other, or designed by SI.  Solar’s uniquely engineered clip system maximizes installer ease and long-term performance by limiting penetration of the condensation control system.  The design also creates rigid connections limiting fasteners and brackets.
