Solar Inverter Wall Mounted Canopy Design in SketchUp Free L Angle & Trapezoidal Sheet BOQ
In this video, I’ll show you how to design a wall-mounted canopy for a solar inverter using SketchUp’s free web version. We’ll cover the complete 3D design process using L-angle (Angle Iron) and a trapezoidal sheet for the roofing. This is a simple, step-by-step tutorial perfect for solar installers, civil engineers, and DIY enthusiasts. I’ve also included a detailed BOQ (Bill of Quantities) at the end to help with material estimation and costing.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
How to set up dimensions for a solar inverter shed.
Modeling L-angle (MS Angle) structural members for the frame.
Adding trapezoidal/profile metal sheets for the canopy.
Tips for using SketchUp Free (Web) effectively.
Preparing a simple Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for fabrication.
💡 Why a Wall Mounted Canopy?
Mounting the inverter on the wall with a dedicated canopy protects the equipment from rain and direct sunlight without taking up ground space. Using standard L-angle and trapezoidal sheets makes this a cost-effective and durable solution for solar PV installations.
