The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities said Friday the state surpassed 3 gigawatts of solar power and 116,000 solar installations.
In the past decade, New Jersey’s solar program has grown from about 4,900 installations in 2009 to 116,000 installations in 2019.
The NJBPU launched a three-year community solar energy pilot program. With community solar, low and moderate income households will gain an opportunity to participate in a more equitable solar market through projects located within their electric public utility’s distribution territory.
