Abstract

See full text

A shading apparatus with panels configured to provide shade volume over time, reduce wind load, and optionally generate solar energy. The shading apparatus with panels has first panel and second panel arrays. The first panel array moves up and down using a ganging assembly and linear actuator. The second panel array is fixed opposite the first panel array. Both panel arrays are connected to a rotateable spindle and central post. The shading apparatus is configured to reduce wind load with offset panels that provide passages between the offsets. Embodiments include control logic with various modes, including a mode for orienting the panels orthogonal to the sun over a period of time.
