WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT USING ACTIVE SHADE®
How Active Shade® Came to Life
Featured by the Small Business Development Center, Active Shade® represents a different way of thinking about shade, solar and the spaces around us. Hear founder Jesse Henson discuss how the idea developed and the vision that continues to shape Active Shade today.
THE ACTIVE SHADE® DIFFERENCE
Most companies specialize in one discipline.
Some build shade structures.
Some install solar.
Some provide energy consulting.
Active Shade® creates architecturally designed shade and solar canopy solutions that make outdoor spaces more comfortable, functional, and valuable. Our patented design concept combines people-friendly shade with the opportunity to generate clean renewable energy, helping commercial and residential property owners enhance their property today while creating long-term value for the future.
