SunPark Car Shelter - Solar Pergola™

Opsun engineers only use the safest calculation methods to ensure maximum strength and durability of their structures. They use proprietary and recent wind tunnel studies (2019) from Western University, and employ the latest versions of Building Codes (ASCE-10-16 and NBCC 2015, IBC 2018), as well as SEAOC PV2 guidelines including notions of the relative size of the solar system to the roof dimension, to account for the most complex wind effects. The design ensures minimal deflection of PV panels, in order to protect the cells, and the best finite element simulation software is used. Each component or vertical structure undergoes a unique calculation. Unique and custom solutions are found for all difficulties and the team reacts quickly to events occurring during construction, (such as a mispositioned drain or any last-minute change).

For each project, you can obtain custom installation and construction permit plans tailored to the project’s challenges, stamped by a local engineer if necessary. Each step of the assembly process is detailed, with exact measurements relative to the actual project site and the explanations necessary to understand the project’s specificities.
