Project Highlights

New Jersey's largest public solar energy system, the SCIA solar installation consists of more than 30 sites throughout Somerset County, New Jersey–including schools, libraries, public works buildings, community centers, and administrative buildings. Collectively, the systems will generate an estimated 9,744,579 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, reducing CO₂ emissions by 6,719 metric tons per year. This is comparable to taking 1,318 cars off the road per year, or conserving 753,229 gallons of gasoline annually.
