Solidworks PV Carport 3d Variants (Parametric ) CAD Design
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
Subject: RFQ – CAD (SolidWorks/AutoCAD) – Parametric PV Carport Variants (Folded Sheet Metal + Aluminium Extrusions)
Scope: Create manufacturable CAD + drawings for 2 PV carport families based on supplied assembly plans (SUNFER type systems):
GRAND PARK Parking Canopy (2–5 bays)
PR1-WT-EN Parking Canopy + Watertight PV profile system (even/odd bays incl. special “functional diversity” bay)
2.1 Reference documents (provided by client)
“GRAND PARK – Assembly Plans (R1-03/24)”
“PR1-WT-EN – Assembly Plans (R2-04/25)”
2.2 Goal
We need parametric CAD models and complete manufacturing drawings to create new design variants inspired by these systems, but optimized for production using:
Folded sheet metal parts (steel or aluminium where appropriate)
Aluminium extrusion profiles (rails, PV guide profiles, trim/gutter, clamps interface)
Standard fasteners and assembly logic
The result must be suitable for quotation, fabrication, and CE/structural documentation preparation.
2.3 Deliverables
A) 3D CAD (parametric)
SolidWorks preferred (2020+), AutoCAD acceptable for 2D but 3D parametric is required (SolidWorks or Inventor).
One master “skeleton/layout” that drives:
Number of bays/spaces (2/3/4/5 for GRAND PARK; even/odd for PR1-WT-EN)
Bay width + overhangs
Roof pitch (8° GRAND PARK, 5° PR1-WT-EN as baseline)
PV module envelope parameters (max module size inputs; portrait orientation)
B) Manufacturing drawings (2D)
General Arrangement drawings (GA) for each configuration
Part drawings for:
Columns / beams / purlins (steel)
Folded sheet metal parts (baseplates, connection plates, covers, trim panels, gutters)
Aluminium extrusions (as “reference profiles” with cut lengths + drilling/punch patterns)
BOM (structured) + cut list
Assembly drawings with item balloons
C) Exchange formats
Native CAD (SLDASM/SLDPRT + drawings)
Neutral: STEP (AP214/242), DXF (flat patterns), PDF drawings
Optional: DWG for GA plans
2.4 Variant design tasks (what you must design)
Task 1 – GRAND PARK inspired variant
Create a manufacturable structure covering 2–5 parking spaces (per kit logic in the reference).
Keep the same functional architecture: two main supports, purlins, aluminium beams/rails, trims/gutter, PV clamps/strips.
Propose a folded sheet metal column concept (instead of heavy welded box) if structurally feasible (with internal stiffeners if needed).
Provide alternatives for:
Column shape: folded trapezoid / folded box / hybrid (folded + welded)
Beam-to-column connection plates (service hatch access where needed)
Task 2 – PR1-WT-EN inspired variant with watertight PV
Model the watertight PV interface system:
Guide profiles (G74/G75/G76 concept)
Longitudinal profile (G77 concept)
End/mid clamps concept (S10.7 / S11)
Provide a parametric layout for:
Even number of bays
Odd number of bays
A special bay option (wider bay / “functional diversity space” as per reference logic)
2.5 Standards & drawing requirements (“drawn to standards”)
Drawings and models must follow common EU manufacturing/engineering standards:
ISO 128 (technical drawing presentation)
ISO 129-1 (dimensioning)
ISO 2768-mK (general tolerances – unless otherwise specified)
ISO 1101 (GD&T where needed), ISO 8015 (GPS fundamentals)
ISO 2553 (welding symbols) – only where welded assemblies are used
Material callouts must be explicit:
Structural steel: S275 (or higher if you recommend)
Aluminium extrusions: EN AW-6005A T6
Fasteners: A2-70 stainless
Corrosion protection callouts:
Hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 1461 or equivalent) for steel components
Powder coat option (specify system + thickness) if variant uses painted finish
Note: Structural verification itself can be excluded from your price if you prefer, but the CAD must be suitable for later Eurocode checks (EN 1991/1993/1999).
2.6 Assumptions to use in CAD (baseline)
PV modules in portrait orientation
Minimum clearance under canopy: 2.20 m
Roof pitch baseline: 8° (GRAND PARK) / 5° (PR1-WT-EN)
Use the reference documents for baseline spans/typical bay sizes; make them parametric so we can adjust later.
2.7 What to include in your quotation
Please provide:
Fixed price per task (Task 1 / Task 2) + combined price
What is included/excluded (especially structural calcs)
Your deliverable list confirmation (native CAD + STEP + DXF flat patterns + PDFs)
Timeline in working days from start
Your hourly rate for extra iterations
Examples of similar steel/aluminium CAD work (links or PDF screenshots)
2.8 Acceptance criteria
Models rebuild without errors and configurations switch correctly (2–5 bays / odd-even logic)
Drawings are fabrication-ready (hole patterns, bends, thickness, material, finish, BOM item numbers)
Clean assembly hierarchy + consistent naming
