Greenskies Clean Energy and Pfister Energy have completed over 460 kW rooftop solar energy at two schools in Barrington, New Jersey. The projects are expected to generate 535.96 MWh of clean, renewable energy. Greenskies funded the construction at no upfront cost to the district and partnered with Pfister to install the rooftop arrays. Each of these projects will be owned, operated, and maintained by Greenskies.

Greenskies Clean Energy and Pfister Energy completed rooftop solar energy systems totaling over 460 kW at two schools in Barrington, New Jersey.

Over its lifetime, the solar array will offset 9,625 metric tons of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of taking more than 2,000 cars off the road

Greenskies Clean Energy said it completed a 1.17 MW solar array for the Town of East Haven, Connecticut. The project, at a five-acre capped landfill, includes about 3,000 solar panels.

Five acres of otherwise unusable land has been turned into a moneymaker for the town in the form of a solar panel array that will provide energy to several municipal buildings, including East Haven High School.

The first of nine projects that Greenskies plans to develop is in service, but the state’s virtual net metering cap may slow additional capacity from being built.

The state’s Green Bank program is helping four local governments install solar at more than a dozen public buildings.

The solar array at the Valley Shore YMCA (VSYMCA), a project designed to save money on electricity as well as further the organization’s energy conservation efforts, is performing even better than expected, according to VSYMCA Executive Director Chris Pallatto.

Several projects before the state’s siting board propose integrating sheep grazing with photovoltaic installations.

Montclair is one step closer to being able to create solar energy at its schools. The school district has awarded a solar panel contract to two companies, Eznergy, based in Toms River, and Greenskies Renewable Energy, based in North Haven, Conn.
