If you are not sure whether your panels will work with the structure, call SunnyCal before ordering.

Collapsible High-Wind Solar Support

SunnyCal's collapsible support can be lowered closer to horizontal when severe wind conditions are expected.

If high wind is part of your project requirements, review the high-wind support before choosing a standard structure.
