New Jersey Utility Completes Solar Panel Installation on Its Headquarters Wednesday, March 2nd 2011 7:16 PMPublic Service Electric and Gas Company, a New Jersey-based utility, announced Wednesday it has completed the installation of a rooftop solar panel system at its Central Division Headquarters.

PSE&G said the nearly 1-megawatt photovoltaic system is the first of six solar panel systems the utility plans to build on buildings it owns in New Jersey. In total, PSE&G plans to invest $515 million on the construction of the photovoltaic arrays, a plan it has dubbed Solar 4 All. Al Matos, PSE&G's vice president, said that "by building these systems on PSE&G owned property, we have installed a large amount of solar capacity in a very short time and in a very cost effective way with little impact to customers."

Over the past year, PSE&G has installed nearly 35 megawatts of solar panel systems throughout the Garden State. "These projects have helped provide stability to the state's solar market and have made New Jersey a center for renewable energy in the United States." The newest solar panel system PSE&G installed comprises 648 crystalline solar panels and 4,180 thin film solar panels.

In total, the photovoltaic array will produce enough clean energy every year to power 155 average-sized homes. The company also announced it has begun the installation of a 0.7-megawatt solar panel system at its Edison Training and Development Center facility in Edison, New Jersey.
