Carports can also be used as an efficient structure to place panel based on their capacity. It is also similar to that of designing a shed roof. Simple steps to create the carport structure are given in this video,
The steps involved in creating a carport structure are,
路 Modelling the base/legs using polygons with required tilt, height and azimuth(Make sure the azimuths are designed as per the position of the base; opposite direction for opposite faces)
路 Creating a shed roof using a polygon. Enter the 'P' key to select polygon modelling.
路 Creating sub-array to fill panels and add walkways.
路 Mirror the segment to complete the carport design and optimize the panel by desired solar access. Add inverters to the design and save the project.
A completed carport design look like this, one can check this image and compare with theirs for further clarifications.
* In 3D, we can see the designed model as it would be after installation. We will have the following features on the 3D link,
NOTE;
Key ' M ' can be used to mirror any objects in the design field.
