Sunpark Canopy - Water Managed Solar Canopy

EASE OF INSTALLATION
Light in nature, all parts can be lifted by hand, without heavy machinery. Foundations can be done using screw piles or helical piles to avoid heavy machinery and disrupting the property.

PERFECT FOR SOLAR PERGOLAS
Protection from the sun while enjoying a nice day in the garden is what you wish for during a hot summer day. But why not also turn this heat into energy and make your pergola turn from an expense into an investment? Opsun`s SunPark Canopy does it all!

HIGHEST STANDARD FOR ENGINEERING & SUPPORT
Our engineers use only the safest methods of calculation, to assure maximum solidity and durability of the structures. We have proprietary, recent wind tunnel tests with Western University, and we design using the latest Building Codes (ASCE-7-16, NBCC 2016, IBC 2018), as well as SEAOC PV2. Minimal deflection allowed on rails, and finite element analysis done with high-end 3D engineering software. Each component and vertical structure calculated individually. We find solutions to each unique challenge, and we react quickly if unforeseen events happen during construction (such as terrain obstructions and last minute changes).

PROJECT-SPECIFIC BUILDING PERMIT PLANS & P.ENG STAMP WITH EACH PROJECT
Custom, project-specific building permit plans, stamped by a local P. Eng., are provided for each job, describing step-by-step where each component goes, on the exact project site, with markups, details and explanations custom to each project`s specific difficulties.

MATERIAL
100% aluminum structure and components, stainless steel bolts & nuts.

MAX SNOW LOAD
Can be designed for any snow loads (up to 100 PSF)

MAX WIND LOADS
Can be designed for any wind loads (up to 180MPH)

TILT ANGLE
Variable

PV PANEL ORIENTATION
Landscape on rails (supported on the long side of the panels)

MODULE
Any framed PV, any frameless PV, monofacial or bifacial, optimized for bifacial

SEALED
Water-managed with rubber gaskets (frameless panels).

CONFIGURATION
Variable canopy table size to match the structure size.

STRUCTURE TYPE COMPATIBILITY
Any wood or metal structure with compatible span.

INSTALLATION
100% aluminum structure, super light, all parts can be manipulated by hand without heavy machinery.

PANEL HEIGHT FROM GROUND
Variable

GROUNDING
UL 2703 listed

TYPICAL BIFACIAL GAINS OBSERVED
5-25% (Must be optimized per project, not a guarantee)

NO ON-SITE WELDING
All Opsun canopies are assembled with bolts and nuts. No welding and no cuts will be necessary on site.

IDEAL LOOK WITH BIFACIAL PANELS
Panels encastrable in the aluminum rails, all wires hidden, all junction boxes hidden. Opsun`s Bifacial Canopies take advantage of bifacial panels` transparency to increase aesthetics from underneath.

EASE OF INSTALLATION
Light in nature, all parts can be lifted by hand, without heavy machinery. The canopy can be installed on any type of structure with specific attachment options.

FULL ALUMINUM DESIGN
100% aluminum design with 6000 series aluminum and 304 stainless steel bolts and nuts guarantee maximum durability of the structure for decades.

BETTER PANEL PROTECTION
Strong rails supporting PVs on their full length help prevent torsion and movement that leads to accelerated degradation of PV panels.
