MODULAR TENSILE STRUCTURE WITH INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES

摘要

A tensile structure is provided that includes a plurality of vertical support members, one of the vertical support members being taller than all others of the vertical support members. A plurality of securing members is connected between the vertical support members and ground. A membrane is attached to and extending between the vertical support members to form a roof of the tensile structure, such that one corner of the membrane is raised with respect to the other corners. A plurality of flexible photovoltaic devices are integrated with the membrane.
