A folding mechanism also protects the modules in extreme weather conditions. The core of the solar folding roof is an aesthetic lightweight construction with a cable-based support structure concept and a patented folding mechanism. This enables very wide support distances and a great height above the ground. This also allows large vehicles full freedom of movement. At the same time, the amount of material used is reduced by up to half compared to comparable fixed systems.
The solar folding roof utilises the advantages of cable car technology, with the modules hanging from cables in so-called folding roof groups. The movable components are made of stainless steel or special plastics. Galvanised steel with an additional coating against rust forms the supporting structure. (nhp)
