A sweeping expansion of New Jersey’s community solar program is set to begin, allowing for a new wave of clean energy projects that benefit both residents and commercial landlords.
As state officials look to tackle rising energy costs, a program that has brought rooftop solar panels to dozens of New Jersey warehouses has taken on added importance as a means of easing that burden without many of the risks and hurdles of major infrastructure projects.
The state’s popular Community Solar Energy Program is expanding once again with a newly announced third phase, setting the stage for fresh revenue opportunities for commercial property owners who lease their rooftops to solar developers.
New solar panels are coming to eight commercial buildings in Fairfield and Montville as part of a project announced Wednesday by Brightcore Energy and Luminace.
State officials are doubling down on a program that has brought solar panels to warehouses across New Jersey while creating low-cost clean energy for thousands of residents.
