P2 Elevated Shed
Two-leg elevated structure for flat roofs. It lifts the array above parapets, water tanks and plant equipment so they no longer shade it.
FERO design drawings. Photos of installed structures are on the project pages linked below.
On many flat roofs, parapets, water tanks and HVAC units would shade a low array and take up usable area. The P2 elevated shed raises the modules above them, which cuts shading losses and recovers capacity on a constrained roof. P2 is the two-leg layout for typical obstacle clearance. It is SS400 iron, hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A123 with a 90 micron coating, or painted.

Common questions
When should I use an elevated shed structure?
On flat roofs where parapets, water tanks or plant equipment would shade a low array. Raising the array cuts those shading losses.
What coating options are available?
SS400 iron hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A123 with a 90 micron coating, or a painted finish on request.
How does P2 differ from the P3 elevated shed?
P2 is the two-leg layout for typical obstacle clearance. P3 uses three legs for larger arrays and wider spans.
