Inventor includes Virk, Kuldip Singh.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: A sunshade in the form of an awning comprises a piece of flexible reflective material (2), suspended from a first elongate support (4, 104) and supported by a second elongate support (6, 106). A force-exerting device, such as a weight (8), is attached at least indirectly to the flexible material at a location remote from the first elongate support (4). When the flexible material (2) is displaced by wind, the force-exerting device (8) returns the flexible material to the at-rest position. In a solar panel assembly, the sunshade can reflect sunlight to a solar panel (50). In a method of directing solar energy, the height and/or azimuth of at least one of the supports (4, 104, 6, 106) of the sunshade is adjusted, at different times of day or different times of year.
