Solar Panel Branding

Your Logo, Billboard-Sized.

Logos, Colors, Patterns
SolarSkin prints your logo or design on a film that covers the panels, so the array itself carries your brand.
All or Part of the Array
Cover every panel, or only the ones that spell out the logo.
Any Panel Maker
SolarSkin works with the panels your installer already uses.

Plan it in before the panels go up, and the array your business needs anyway becomes the biggest sign you own.

See how SolarSkin works.

Can you put a company logo on solar panels?

Yes. SolarSkin is a printed film that goes over the panels before they’re mounted. Your logo, colors or pattern show from the air, from taller buildings nearby and anywhere people can see the array, and the panels keep making power.

Panels under the film lose some output. Sistine’s figures put energy yield at 98 to 99% of the bare panel’s output with partial coverage, 92% with half coverage and 85% with full coverage. Panels without film lose nothing, so a logo across part of an array costs less than those figures suggest.

Brands on their own solar

Three of the brands that have put their name on their arrays with SolarSkin:

WhistlePig’s distillery in Shoreham, Vermont, the first custom-branded solar installation.

Comcast and NBCUniversal at Universal Orlando Resort: a 250 kW floating array with Comcast’s name and the NBCUniversal peacock.

The University of Miami’s U on a rooftop array on campus.

Ways businesses use branded solar

Dealerships and retail stores. A logo on the roof or on a solar carport turns the array into signage.
Headquarters and campuses. Show visitors and employees the solar you invested in.
Hotels, venues and attractions. Give guests something to see from above.
Aerial photos and video. A branded array makes the drone shot for press, social posts and sustainability reports.

How it works

Send us your logo and the array layout.
We fit the design to the panel grid and send you a mockup.
We print your SolarSkin. A certified graphics installer applies it to the panels before they’re mounted, and we’ll point you to 3M’s list of certified installers.
The panels are installed and wired like any others.

Project stories

Branded solar questions

Does a logo on solar panels count as a sign?

In some towns it can. Your installer or the local permit office can tell you before you finalize the design.

How long does SolarSkin last?

SolarSkin passed IEC 61215 durability testing at NREL. IEC 61215 is the standard durability test for solar panels.

Can you add a logo to panels that are already installed?

Only if the panels come down. SolarSkin is applied before mounting, so the best time is while the project is being planned.
