Advanced Engineering

Opsun's Total Engineering approach guarantees that your permit application will be approved. Opsun uses only the highest, and most up-to-date engineering standards, assuring our plans never get rejected by cities.

Opsun utilizes Western University's state-of-the-art Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory for all its testing. Our Wind Tunnel tests are recent (2020), include high-rise simulations, are peer-reviewed (CPP Wind Consulting, 2020), and have been revised and approved by the most demanding industry experts. You can rely on Opsun's engineering to get throught the most thorough reviewing process.

Opsun's unique and novel Multi-Element Structural Hub (MESH™) engineering approach is a series of computer-assisted engineering, simulation and calculation operations, integrated in a proprietary hub. MESH™ engineering allows each Opsun assembly, of numerous shapes and configurations, to be tested by high-volume, detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations. This gives Opsun's engineers a precise sense of how each part of the racking system will react, as a whole, under the project's max wind and snow forces. Our process is more than a just a pull-out or load test: it gives us a thorough understanding of the reaction of the whole structure under stress, under hundreds of very specific load cases. This is what gives Opsun's Structures unequalled solidity. Opsun guarantees its products for 25 years, but design them with 50 to 100 yrs in mind!
