There are always a number of ways, two are:
- the curtain wall tool
- using sloped walls

Another approach would be to use sloping columns with roofs for the covering and beams for the purlins. At least from what I can see the panels don't appear to be curved so the straight beams and flat roofs should work fine.

A substitue for the roofs to make the shell would be to use a mesh. You can make the circular or eliptical contours as needed and raise them to the appropriate heights. Then make a copy of the mesh, lower it by the appropriate amount and subtract it from the original. (The operator then needs to go on a hidden layer of course.)
