"With the dedication of this solar installation today, we're taking action as a county to combat rising electricity costs by taking advantage of clean, renewable solar energy," said Howard Hurwitz, executive director, NBCUA. "This system will provide lasting economic and environmental savings, while fostering the growth of green energy and clean tech jobs in our community."
Challenged with limited land and roof space, Vanguard designed and installed an innovative solar canopy structure over the plant's aeration tanks, using 1,547 Sharp ND-U216C1 216-watt solar modules. The adoption of renewable solar energy will provide nearly 40 percent of the wastewater treatment plant's electricity needs when operating at full output.(1) The system will produce an estimated 364,742 kilowatt hours per year, which translates into an annual energy savings of nearly $50,000 for the utility. In addition to the economic benefits enjoyed by the NBCUA, the completed system lessens the plant's environmental impact by reducing CO2 emissions by 577,489 pounds per year. That is equivalent to 29,733 gallons of gasoline, 609 barrels of oil conserved, or removing 48 cars off the road each year.
"We are thrilled to have been tasked with this challenging solar project, and applaud the NBCUA for taking steps to achieve New Jersey's long-term energy goals," said Paul Zensky, president, Vanguard Energy Partners.
"This installation is a direct result of New Jersey's ambitious goals to reduce its dependence on non-renewable energy sources like coal and oil, building the bridge to a cleaner, healthier environment," said Ron Kenedi, vice president, Sharp Solar Energy Solutions Group. "We are pleased to be able to help the NBCUA reach its goals of sustainability by harnessing the power of solar energy."
This project was funded by a rebate from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, a statewide program that offers financial incentives, programs and services for New Jersey residents, business owners and local governments who install renewable energy. Vanguard Energy Partners teamed with Ferreira Construction to perform the site work, civil engineering and steel erection of the system. Additionally, Noveda Technologies' SunFlow Monitor(TM), a real-time, online energy monitoring system, will track the facility's power consumption, solar production and system efficiency.
