2�- FORESEEABLE MISUSE
This type of canopy is not intended to:

To withstand overloads higher than those indicated in the corresponding certificate of
technical characteristics, due to meteorological conditions (snow and wind) of the site and the
own weight of the solar panels.

People will not be allowed to climb onto the canopy, with the exception of those who access
it to carry out maintenance and assembly tasks. No more than one person with their personal
work material (100 kg) may climb onto the canopy.

It is not allowed to cover the sides, front or rear with any type of enclosure that wholly or
partially prevents the passage of the wind.

The installation of posters or jutting elements is not allowed, nor in general, any added
element that increases the surface exposed to the wind.

Only the assembly of original parts and components supplied by CIRCUTOR is allowed.

CIRCUTOR will not be held liable for any unauthorised modification to the canopy, once the
same has been put into service.

If a wall is installed along the entire length of the canopy, a special study will be required to
vary the coefficient of obstruction contemplated in the calculation.
Figure 1: Variation of the obstruction coefficient.

If the canopy is installed in the vicinity of a height change or on a steep wall or mound that
increases the height of the canopy above the ground level to more than 3 m in height at the
centre point of the roofing, a special study will be required owing to the modification of the
pressure and suction coefficients considered in the calculation.
