User-friendly interface

Based on your photovoltaic project information, specify the inclination, length, and width dimensions of your roof. Refine details such as lateral overhang and the distance between rafters while visualizing the carport construction in real-time.

Select the construction location on a map, launch the analysis with a single click and immediately view the results. Our PV-Shelters software will automatically provide you with a selection of structural elements suitable for your project, or you can also perform manual tests according to your preferences.
