Systems and apparatuses for carport with integrated precipitation and cable management

Abstract

A solar power generation assembly includes a vertical support column; a canopy including a plurality of solar modules for solar power generation; a first brace and a second brace on a first side of the support column to support the canopy; a third brace and a fourth brace on a second side of the support column to support the canopy; and a gutter system integrated into the canopy and directing precipitation along one or more of the second brace and the fourth brace to the support column. One or more of the first brace and the third brace manage electrical cables extending from the canopy to the support column.

1 . A solar power generation assembly, comprising:
 a support column;   a canopy including first and second canopy portions, each including solar modules configured to generate solar power;   a plurality of braces arranged on different sides of the support column and configured to support the first and second canopy portions and to manage electrical cables extending from the canopy to the support column; and   a gutter system integrated into the canopy and configured to direct precipitation from the canopy along at least one of the plurality of braces.
