User-friendly interface

Based on your photovoltaic project information, specify the inclination, length, and width dimensions of your roof. Refine details such as lateral overhang and the distance between rafters while visualizing the carport construction in real-time.

Select the construction location on a map, launch the analysis with a single click and immediately view the results. Our PV-Shelters software will automatically provide you with a selection of structural elements suitable for your project, or you can also perform manual tests according to your preferences.

PV Shelters optimizes cross-sections of poles, cross-members and brackets according to geometry

Architectural flexibility

Choose from four different architectures to customize your photovoltaic shelters according to your specific needs. From centered to off-centered and even inclined columns, find the solution that aligns with your vision and your client’s requirements.

Custom options

Create your landscaping integration in an instant. Select a photo of your building site or parking lot, then position the 3D rendered image of the shelter, and you’re done! You can then use it to assemble your building permit or convince your client.
