Wisconsin Solar Design architects and structural engineers have been manufacturing and installing glass structures including skylights, greenhouses, solariums and atriums for residential use and public buildings since 1981. During its early existence Wisconsin Solar Design participated in the pursuit of active and passive solar energy applications that had moved into national consciousness as a response to escalating oil prices and concern about a declining environment. Often referred to as the Camelot period for solar energy usage, the period ended abruptly with the suspension of state and federal incentives for solar use. Wisconsin Solar Design continues its interest in these renewable energy sources providing guidance and assistance to those with similar concerns.
Wisconsin Solar Design's focus on the manufacture of glass structures was a natural jumping-off point from the large scale glass collection arrays required for commercial usage of solar energy. Wisconsin Solar Design gained the experience to apply a new generation of innovations to the design of overhead glazing systems. Our current manufacture of glass structures consists primarily of providing custom metal framed skylights, greenhouses, solariums and atriums.
