The Farmingdale School District's commitment to this clean energy initiative is exemplified by the varying sizes of the systems installed at each school, tailored to maximize energy efficiency. Farmingdale High School will feature a remarkable 946.7KWDC Carports.

​Farmingdale High School’s solar carports are constructed from steel columns. As massive as these columns are, they are installed in a way that does not block or otherwise uses any parking spaces. The panels are roughly 15 feet high, and are wisely positioned to catch the sun and its optimal angle. The carports also funnel rain and snow onto a median of grass in order to keep the panels working at maximum efficiency in any weather.

​These solar canopies are all constructed from 72 tons of hot dip galvanize Anchor Bolts, Steel Columns, Steel Tube Arms and Purlins. The heavy W27x68 x 15 ’tall columns and 38’ -50’ long purlins created longer spans to use very little parking spaces. Each Canopy are V&S Amboy turned around a truck load of steel every 24 hours for a seamless installation for the General Contractor.

"Our team is putting the finishing touches on the steel structure for Farmingdale High School's solar carport, laying the groundwork for the panels to shine."
