Inspiration

Simple Line Design, easy to install, one size fits all

What it does

Acts as a car shed as well as is a source of renewable energy

How we built it

Beams, Beams, Beams!

Challenges we ran into

Reigning in our ambitions FEA analysis

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Clean structural design and a successful analysis of the structure Inclined construction allows effective snow removal

What we learned

TEAMWORK! Software like SAP2000, SolidWorks Simulation & Rendering

What's next for Cantilevered Solar Powered Carport

A great number of additions can be made to this design to maximize the efficiency of the solar panels, i.e. a mechanism to adjust the tilt angle when car is not docked.
