WIDE-AREA SYSTEM AND DISTRIBUTED MULTIPURPOSE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPRISING WIDE-AREA SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention refers to a wide-area system (1) comprising at least one canopy-like top element (3) presenting solar energy means (4), and eventually further energy and/or information means. The wide-area system (1) according to the invention maximizes associated economic value, notably by means of maximizing the size and diversity of said top elements (3) in simple structural solutions that can be effectively adjusted to different spatial and operational constraints and requirements, while simultaneously mitigating the associated visual impact, based upon structural supports (2) of modular- like construction. The present invention further refers to a distributed multipurpose infrastructure (10) with wide- area systems (1, 1') comprising at least one canopy-like top element (3, 3' ) at least presenting respective solar energy means (4, 4'), eventually also other energy means, such as lighting means, and/or information means, such as visual signalling means and telecommunication means.
