Over 10,000 solar arrays now exist statewide
New Jersey set new single-month record for installed solar capacity and number of installations in June, the state Department of Environmental Protection announced on Monday.
The activity brings the state’s installed solar capacity to more than 380 MW generated from over 10,000 solar arrays statewide, something the DEP maintains is a new milestone.
“Reaching 10,000 solar installations in New Jersey demonstrates this administration’s commitment to continue to promote and expand the state’s solar industry and is a critical element of our long-term energy strategy,” Gov. Chris Christie said in a statement. “This ground-breaking achievement is the latest example of New Jersey’s leadership as one of the largest and fastest growing solar energy markets in the United States.”
