SolarPod Aluminum and Hemlock

• Carbon negative structure (will produce more renewable energy during its useful life than it produced in CO2 during its manufacture)
• Structure installed to obtain optimal production
• Quick and easy tilt change from 10 to 40 degrees (summer – winter) one person in less than 5 min
• Easy maintenance (cleaning, dust, snow)
• Better performance of panels in aerial application (self-ventilated heat)
• Bifacial panels 15% more efficient (ideal conditions: 10% to 30% more energy per square foot than a conventional installation)
• Dual-use structure (gazebo – carport)
• Durability (30 years and more)
• Encourages electrification of transport and reduction of emissions
• Adds value to the property
• Can be used as a solar generator (addition of batteries)
• Modern, elegant and trendy
• Easy ground installation (screw piles, poured concrete base, concrete slab)

Materials

• 400 Watt LG Bifacial Solar Panels + 10% to 30% additional production on the reflection side which equates to 440W to 480W total per panel
• 8 sealed solar panels
• Simple and solid tilting mechanism
• High quality materials
• Aluminum structure with baked paint finish
• Oiled hemlock wood (very long life)

Energy production

• Total capacity between 3.5 KWh to 3.8 KWh
• Average annual production of 4,500 KWh to 6,000 KWh (i.e. in Quebec at $0.10/kWh, between $450 and $600 per year)
• Produces the equivalent of approximately 25,000 km of autonomy per year for an electric vehicle with only 8 bifacial panels (depending on the following factors: vehicle consumption, driving habits, weather conditions and optimal installation of the structure)
