Smart design
Our experts design innovative photovoltaic structures tailored to any type of wall, featuring a 60° tilt and portrait orientation. This design safeguards the wall's integrity by minimizing exposure to stresses such as wind and snow loads, as snow naturally slides off the panels without accumulating.
Energy production efficiency
The optimal 60° tilt of our SunWall is carefully designed to maximize energy production. This angle allows the panels to capture direct solar radiation more effectively throughout the year, especially in regions where the sun is lower on the horizon during the colder seasons.
Complete turn-key engineering services
Our team of engineers will review your project's wall plans to design a custom structure that perfectly meets the construction constraints. We prioritize combining aesthetics and durability to ensure a reliable installation that provides you with peace of mind. All our designs can be certified with a P.Eng stamp, recognized in Canadian provinces and U.S. states, guaranteeing compliance with applicable standards.
Advantages
Fewer wall penetrations per PV
Better Panel Protection
Full Aluminum Design
Fully Adjustable System On-Site
Highest Standard for Engineering & Support
Our engineers use only the safest methods of calculation, to assure maximum solidity and durability of the structures. We have proprietary, recent wind tunnel tests with Western University, and we design using the latest Building Codes (ASCE-7-16, NBCC 2016, IBC 2018), as well as SEAOC PV2 notions of array size versus roof size to account for extraordinary vortices. Minimal deflection allowed on rails, and finite element analysis done with high-end 3D engineering software. Each zone ballast & anchors calculated individually. We find solutions to each unique challenge, and we react quickly if unforeseen events happen during construction (such as unmarked drains, roof equipments obstruction and last minute changes).
Project-Specific Building Permit Plans & P.Eng stamp with each project
Custom, project-specific building permit plans, stamped by a local P. Eng., are provided for each job, describing step-by-step where each component goes, on the exact project site, with markups, details and explanations custom to each project's specific difficulties.
