Zynergy Solutions engineered an elevated steel-canopy solar array for ASA International a design that lifts the panels on a robust structure so the rooftop remains usable underneath while capturing maximum sunlight above. The project video below shows the finished canopy over the facility.
The Challenge
The facility needed maximum solar capacity but couldn't give up rooftop access. A flat-mounted array would have blocked the space; the answer was to build up.
The Zynergy Solution
Zynergy designed and built an engineered steel canopy that elevates the panel array well above the roof surface. This keeps the area beneath usable, improves airflow and cooling for the panels (which lifts output), and gives the installation a clean, professional finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
An elevated canopy raises the solar array on a steel structure above the roof or ground, keeping the space underneath usable while capturing full sunlight above ideal for facilities that can’t lose floor or roof area.
Yes. Raised, well-ventilated panels run cooler than roof-hugging arrays, and cooler panels are more efficient so an elevated canopy can lift overall generation.
