Variable

Grounding

UL 2703 listed

Typical bifacial gains observed

5-25% (Must be optimized by project, not a guarantee)

No welding on site

All Opsun canopies are assembled with bolts and nuts. No welding and no cutting will be necessary on site.

Aesthetic

This architectural solar canopy combines high energy production without compromising the appearance of the structure. The use of frameless bifacial photovoltaic panels will add to the elegance of the canopy and blend in perfectly with light residential and commercial installations.

Easy installation

Light in nature, all parts can be lifted by hand, without heavy machinery. Foundations can be made using screw piles or helical piles to avoid heavy machinery and disruption to the property.

Perfect for solar canopies

Staying protected from the sun while enjoying a beautiful day in the garden is what you want on a hot summer day. But why not also turn that heat into energy and turn your pergola from an expense into an investment? Opsun’s SunPark awning does it all!

Benefits

IDEAL APPEARANCE WITH BIFACIAL PANELS

Panels recessed into the aluminum rails, all wires hidden, all junction boxes hidden. Opsun’s bifacial canopies benefit from the transparency of bifacial panels to increase the aesthetic from below.

EASY INSTALLATION

Light in nature, all parts can be lifted by hand, without heavy machinery. The awning can be installed on any type of structure with specific fixing options.

FULLY ALUMINUM DESIGN

The 100% aluminum construction of the 6000 series with 304 stainless steel bolts and nuts ensures maximum durability of the structure for decades.

BETTER PANEL PROTECTION

Sturdy rails supporting the PV panels along their entire length help prevent twisting and movements that lead to accelerated degradation of PV panels.

UL 2703

ETL listed according to UL 2703

The highest standards of engineering and customer support

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).

Project-specific construction permit plans, stamped by an engineer.

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.
