Pictured are Luke, Anna, Caroline, and Jack. Body of knowledge As part of its Solar 4 All™ program, PSE&G is installing up to 200,000 pole-attached solar energy units in its service territory. Starting in early to mid-February, PSE&G contractor Riggs Distler & Company will be installing solar panels in Allendale, Saddle River, and Upper Saddle River. The units will be placed on utility poles and street lights along main streets near area businesses and in residential neighborhoods. When the project is complete, the three municipalities will be part of the largest pole-attached solar installation in the world. “The solar panels bring the benefit of clean, renewable energy to all our customers, and the electricity generated from them helps us combat climate change,” said Al Matos, vice president for renewables and energy solutions for PSE&G. “The units are being installed in a safe, reliable manner consistent with our normal practices.” In July 2009, PSE&G received approval from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to invest $515 million in solar projects. In addition to the 40-megawatt pole-attached segment, a second segment will provide centralized solar, with PSE&G developing solar gardens and rooftop installations on facilities it owns and at third-party-owned sites. The utility expects to complete the installations by the end of 2013. “This new initiative will effectively double the size of New Jersey’s installed solar capacity,” said Ralph LaRossa, president and COO of PSE&G. “That is more solar capacity than exists in any state other than California. This latest program is an important step in PSE&G’s commitment to promote energy efficiency, develop renewables, reduce greenhouse gases, and create new green jobs.” The electricity generated by the units will be connected directly into PSE&G’s electric distribution system. The utility will receive federal tax credits and solar renewable energy credits, for this renewable generation. The benefits will be returned to all ratepayers.
