新澤西清潔能源投資公司(NJRCEV)計(jì)劃租賃CertainTeed在新澤西州Berlin市的纖維玻璃分銷廠房用于屋頂太陽能系統(tǒng)安裝。該太陽能屋頂項(xiàng)目每年將產(chǎn)生870千瓦電力和減少800噸二氧化碳排放。該項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)可滿足該大廈90%的電力需求。
未來20年內(nèi),NJRCEV將租用CertainTeed 30多萬平方英尺的屋頂,并已與該公司簽訂了購(gòu)電協(xié)議。作為這一耗資50萬美元項(xiàng)目的一部分,NJRCEV將安裝由美國(guó)太陽能提供的最先進(jìn)的屋面材料和太陽能薄膜電池新屋頂層板。所產(chǎn)生的能源將獲可再生能源證書(SRECs),可以出售給新澤西州負(fù)載服務(wù)企業(yè)以滿足其使用可再生能源的要求。該項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)每年將產(chǎn)生超1000多 SRECs。
NJRCEV的投資將有資格獲得30%的聯(lián)邦投資稅收信貸,購(gòu)電協(xié)議將產(chǎn)生更多的投資回報(bào)。
該太陽能系統(tǒng)預(yù)計(jì)將于2011年1月開始運(yùn)作。
最近新澤西州的其他太陽能項(xiàng)目還包括Dow Jones 的4.1兆瓦太陽能發(fā)電系統(tǒng)以及Carrier 診所、ShopRite精英超市、世界花卉和迪娜室內(nèi)裝飾和皮革店所用設(shè)施。
NJR Clean Energy Ventures (NJRCEV) plans to lease space atop of CertainTeed’s fiberglass insulation distribution facility in Berlin, New Jersey, for a rooftop solar system. The solar project will generate 870-kilowatts (kW) of electricity and eliminate 800 tons of CO2 annually. The solar system is expected to provide nearly 90 percent of the building’s electricity needs.
NJRCEV will lease more than 300,000 square feet of roof space from CertainTeed for 20 years and has entered into a concurrent Power Purchase Agreement with the company.As a part of this $5-million project, NJRCEV will install a new roof with state-of-the-art roof materials and thin-film solar laminates from United Solar.The energy produced will be eligible for Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), which can be sold to load serving businesses in New Jersey to meet their renewable energy requirements. The project is expected to generate more than 1,000 SRECs annually.
Investments made by NJRCEV will qualify for a 30 percent federal investment tax credit, and revenues generated from the Power Purchase Agreement will provide additional return on investment.
The solar system is expected to be operational by January 2011.
Other recent solar projects in New Jersey includes Dow Jones’ 4.1-megawatt solar power system, as well as installations at Carrier Clinic, a ShopRite supermarket, World Class Flowers and Dina’s Interiors & Leather store.
