Y-Shape Shade Structure

A distinctive Y-column solar carport delivering wide canopy coverage from a single central support, engineered for single and double parking configurations across the UAE and Middle East.

The Y-Shape Shade Structure uses a single central column with a bifurcated Y-arm canopy, minimising the number of foundation points while covering a double parking bay. The I-section main frame with epoxy paint finish and pre-galvanised C-profile purlins deliver structural reliability with a distinctive architectural profile. The standard 5° tilt angle supports all standard PV module types in both landscape and portrait orientations.

The Y-Shape configuration is particularly suited to sites with restricted ground access, underground infrastructure, or where minimising column footprint is a design requirement. It has been installed at commercial and government facilities across the UAE. Optional selections include hot-dip galvanised structure, aluminium mounting rails (AA6063-T6), EV charging station integration, and LED lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the Y-Shape column design?
The Y-Shape uses a single central column with a bifurcated arm, reducing the number of foundation points required while covering a double parking bay. This is particularly useful on sites with underground infrastructure, restricted ground access, or where minimising column footprint is a design requirement.
Is a hot-dip galvanised finish available?
Yes, hot-dip galvanised (HDG) structure is available as an optional selection in place of the standard epoxy paint finish, providing enhanced long-term corrosion resistance.
Can the Y-Shape support EV charging equipment?
Yes, EV charging station integration is available as an optional selection. The structure can be specified with cable management provisions and mounting points for EV charging units.
