Solar power generation assembly and method for providing same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a solar power generation assembly and method for providing same involving an array of solar generating modules on a dual-incline structure, which can achieve high energy yields over a wide range of azimuths/orientations. The assembly consists of canopy wings providing for the dual-incline structure, where, depending on specifications, the canopy wings can differ in length, width, angle of inclination, structural material and solar module or other material mounted on the surface. The canopy wings may be pivoted or hinged to enhance the energy generation and/or other functional benefits of the assembly or system, including display elements, advertising, rainwater/precipitation and snow drainage and collection and energy transmission. The assembly or system is modular and may be assembled in a long continuous configuration in which the inclination, width and tilt of the canopy wings may vary of a long distance to maintain substantially consistent energy yields as the assembly or system orientation changes.

1 . A solar power generation assembly comprising:
 at least one dual-incline structure comprising a first canopy wing and a second canopy wing, said first canopy wing tilting at a first angle and said second canopy wing tilting at a second angle, wherein said first angle and said second angle are determined based on site specifications;   at least one array comprising energy producing material disposed on said first canopy wing of said dual-incline structure;   at least one support structure comprising
 at least one first support structure comprising at least one support column having a first end connected to a ground surface and extending substantially vertically along a longitudinal axis from said first end to said second end; and 
 at least one second support structure disposed at said second end of said support column of said first support structure, said second support structure configured so as to provide support for said dual-incline structure.
