The Fastensol PET Canopy 1 x 0.4m (clear frame, clear cover) is a weatherproof protective cover designed to shield outdoor-installed inverters and batteries from direct sun and light-to-medium rain. Made from 3.5mm UV-resistant PET panels, it gives equipment mounted on an external wall a simple, effective layer of protection without enclosing the unit or restricting airflow around it.
Supplied as a complete kit with all necessary fixing hardware included, the canopy is designed for fitting to cement walls only. Its clear frame and clear cover keep the installation visually unobtrusive, making it well suited to inverters, batteries, and other outdoor electrical equipment mounted on the exterior of a home or commercial building.

Cement Wall Fixing Only
This canopy kit is designed for fitting on cement walls only. It is not intended for timber-frame, dry-lined, or other wall constructions unless suitable additional fixings rated for that substrate are used. Confirm the wall type before ordering and installing.
Weather Protection Scope
The canopy provides protection from glaring sun and light-medium rain only. It is not a fully sealed enclosure and is not designed to protect equipment from heavy or wind-driven rain, flooding, or submersion. Always install and position outdoor electrical equipment in line with the equipment manufacturer's own environmental and IP rating guidance.
Key Features
UV-Resistant PET Panel Construction
Built from 3.5mm PET panels with UV-resistant properties, giving the canopy long-term resistance to sunlight degradation and discolouration when mounted in an exposed, south-facing, or otherwise sun-heavy location.
Shields Equipment from Sun & Light Rain
Designed specifically to protect outdoor-installed inverters and batteries from glaring sun and light-to-medium rain, helping reduce thermal stress and moisture exposure on sensitive electronic equipment.
Simple, Unobtrusive Design
The clear frame and clear cover keep the canopy visually discreet on the wall, suiting installations where a bulky or highly visible enclosure is undesirable.
Complete Fixing Kit Included
Supplied with all necessary hardware included for a straightforward installation directly from the box, with no need to source additional fixings separately.
Compact 1 x 0.4m Footprint
At 1000 x 400 x 50mm, the canopy is sized to cover a single wall-mounted inverter or battery unit without excessive overhang, keeping the installation neat and proportionate.
Suitable for Home & Commercial Installations
The simple design is suitable for all home and outdoor area main unit installations, making it a practical accessory across both residential and light commercial solar and battery storage projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this canopy made from?
The canopy is made from 3.5mm PET (polyethylene terephthalate) panels with UV-resistant properties, giving it durability against sunlight exposure over time while remaining clear and unobtrusive on the wall.
What size unit will this canopy cover?
At 1000 x 400mm, this canopy is sized for a single wall-mounted inverter or battery unit. Always check the dimensions of your specific equipment against the canopy's coverage area before ordering to confirm a suitable fit.
Can this canopy be fitted to any wall type?
No. This canopy kit is designed for fitting on cement walls only, using the fixings supplied. If your installation wall is a different construction type, additional or alternative fixings suited to that substrate will be needed.
Does this canopy fully waterproof the equipment underneath?
No. The canopy is designed to protect against glaring sun and light-to-medium rain only — it is not a sealed enclosure. Equipment mounted beneath it should still meet the manufacturer's own outdoor IP rating requirements for its installation location.
Is any fixing hardware included with the canopy?
Yes. The canopy is supplied with all necessary hardware included for a straightforward installation onto a cement wall, with no additional parts needed to complete the fitting.
Can I use this canopy with mounting hardware from another supplier?
This canopy is a standalone wall-fixed accessory rather than part of the rail-based mounting system, so it is not affected by the usual restriction on mixing rail, clamp, and hook hardware between suppliers. However, always follow Fastensol's supplied fitting instructions and use the hardware provided for a warrantied installation.
