Our field crews are just finishing up in Newark NJ where they are erecting a 563 KW elevated solar structure at Camden Elementary School. The system consists of two solar carports or elevated solar area structures carrying approximately 2011 ET 280 Solar panels at a 10 degree fixed tilt in a louvered arrangment.
Here is a link to a conceptual model of this type of structure.

Designed in partnership with Vanguard Energy Partners the structural steel package consists of hot rolled shapes and cold formed light gage components in order to provide and custom prefabricated structure and solar racking system that would take full advantage of the existing walk ways in order to eliminate the need for additional foundations. The elevated solar shade structure “solar carport” provided the necessary square footage for the installation of the 334 kw PV system.
Solar project developed and erected by Vanguard Energy Partners.

With the completion of phase two carport installation, USA Park in Jacksonville Florida now hosts 443 covered parking spaces servicing travelers at the Jacksonville international airport.
Customers can now have the option to upgrade to carport parking available for long and short term.
Dikeou Realty selected a flat roof twin box beam design in order to remain consistent with other US Park locations throughout the United States.
The flat top style carports were constructed using galvanized steel mini pile foundation and posts in order to minimized footing spoils and simplify the installation process. Twin box beam headers fabricated from two 14 gage galvanized steel and 20 gage deep rib panels were used as the roofing component.
In addition to covered parking, Carport Structures designed, fabricated and installed a 50′ x 68′ entry canopy.

The recently constructed Solar Carport at El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley, AZ utilized the newly developed X Frame. The X frame column was used in order to provide a full cantilever roof structure for both single depth and head to head parking. The solar carports when finished will be fitted with a REC 220 solar panel and provide approximately 145kw.
Follow future posts to see pictures of the finished product.
