Solar Carports
AGT designs and installs solar carports that provide vehicle shade while generating renewable energy. These structures are engineered to withstand high-wind zones up to 180 mph and include features like integrated EV charging, lighting, and rainwater management. Customizable in design, they reduce electricity costs, qualify for tax incentives, and enhance property value by combining functionality with sustainability.
Battery Storage
Our battery storage solutions optimize energy use by storing solar power for later consumption. Scalable systems ensure uninterrupted power supply, reduce peak demand charges, and integrate seamlessly with existing solar installations. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, they enhance grid stability and support load-shifting strategies to maximize cost savings and environmental impact.
EV Charging Stations
AGT partners with ChargePoint to install commercial EV charging stations across Florida. These systems support fleet and tenant needs, offering smart management features, remote monitoring, and compatibility with all EV models. Benefits include property value enhancement, tax credits, and alignment with corporate sustainability goals through reduced carbon footprints.
Floating Solar
Floating photovoltaic systems are deployed on water bodies to generate clean energy while conserving water through reduced evaporation. AGTs solutions leverage water cooling effects for higher efficiency and are ideal for reservoirs, lakes, and coastal areas. They offer climate resilience, dual land-water use optimization, and modular designs for utility-scale projects.
Architectural Solar
Innovative solar installations like Solar Trees, Pergolas, and Benches blend aesthetics with energy generation. These structures enhance urban spaces, provide educational value, and support smart city initiatives. Designed for public and commercial areas, they offer multi-functionality, including shading, charging stations, and artistic appeal.
