The Sunopy project introduces an innovative solution for hot climate cities: a sun harvesting canopy providing pedestrian shelter while generating clean energy. Utilizing a biodegradable bamboo structure with glass photovoltaic panels, it offers rapid installation on steel screw foundations. Designed for aesthetic appeal and sustainability, its modular design allows for flexible adaptation to various urban environments. With the first segment planned for implementation in Malaysia, Sunopy promises to revolutionize urban landscapes, offering a scalable, eco friendly linear power plant.
