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 method for providing a solar power generation assembly comprising:
providing a dual-incline structure comprising:
a first array comprising energy producing material and a second array comprising energy producing material; anda first support column, a second support column, a first support beam, a second support beam, a third support beam, and a fourth support beam, wherein:the first support column and the second support column each comprise (i) a first end that is coupled to a ground surface, (ii) a first length that extends substantially vertically from the ground surface, and (iii) a second opposing end, the first and second support columns positioned in a first plane;the first support beam, the second support beam, the third support beam, and the fourth support beam each comprise (i) a support beam end and (ii) an opposing support beam end;the support beam end of the first support beam is coupled to the second opposing end of the first support column, the first support beam is positioned at a first angle formed between the first support beam and the first support column;the support beam end of the second support beam is coupled to the second opposing end of the second support column, the second support beam is positioned at the first angle formed between the second support beam and the second support column;the first array is positioned on the first support beam and the second, the first array is positioned in a second plane with respect to the first plane forming a longitudinal axis and at the first angle, and the first array is fixed in position such that the first array is non-adjustable upon installation;the support beam end of the third support beam is coupled to the second opposing end of the first support column, the third support beam is positioned at a second angle formed between the third support beam and the first support column;the support beam end of the fourth support beam is coupled to the second opposing end of the second support column, the fourth support beam is positioned at the second angle formed between the fourth support beam and the second support column;the opposing support beam ends of the third and fourth support beams are positioned higher from the ground surface than the support beam ends of the third and fourth support beams;the second array is positioned on the third support beam and the fourth support beam, the second array is positioned in a third plane with respect to the first plane, the third plane is different than the second plane, the second plane and the third plane intersect at the longitudinal axis, the second array is positioned at the second angle, and the second array is fixed in position such that the second array is non-adjustable upon installation;the second angle is greater than 90 degrees; andthe first angle is not the supplement of the second angle; constructing the dual-incline structure comprising:
erecting the first support column and the second support column;connecting the first support beam and the second support beam directly or indirectly to the first support column;connecting the third support beam and the fourth support beam directly or indirectly to the second support column;mounting the first array directly or indirectly to the first support beam and the second support beam; andmounting the second array directly or indirectly to the third support beam and the fourth support beam. |
