Abstract:
In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, solar energy shade structures and methods of design and revenue generation are disclosed. These systems comprise structures capable of supporting solar panel at heights greater than 18 feet above their mounting surface. These systems may be installed in confined spaces. These systems also comprise structures that are customizable, allowing an installation to be configured with a desired lighting and environmental effect. The methods discussed herein describe processes for achieving desired design effects based on natural elements. Moreover, the methods discussed herein describe processes for reducing the costs of generating solar energy and/or reducing the costs of providing a solar structure.

Claim (Index 13):
A solar energy shade structure, comprising:\n a contiguous solar panel support structure comprising a first plurality of structural beams extending in a first direction and a second plurality of structural beams extending in a second direction, wherein the first plurality of structural beams and the second plurality of structural beams define a first plane and form a planar arrangement of intersecting structural beams in said first plane, and wherein the contiguous solar panel support structure is supported by a plurality of vertical supports above a surface; and a plurality of solar collection panels, each solar collection panel extending from a structural beam in the first plurality of structural beams to an elongated structural member coupled to an adjacent structural beam in the first plurality of structural beams such that each solar collection panel in the plurality of solar collection panels, when it is attached to the elongated structural member, is stationary relative to the contiguous solar panel support structure, each solar collection panel comprising:\n a plurality of solar panels, each solar panel in the plurality of solar panels disposed adjacent to an adjacent solar panel in the plurality of solar panels.
