Winning the energy savings battle in New Jersey

Two years ago, the New Jersey Army National Guard asked the Army Corps if it could construct a solar power project so they could save energy and money as they had done for them on previous solar power projects. In May 2011 the Army Corps completed the solar project with the assistance of contractor, P & S Construction of Lowell, Mass. The project consists of a solar photovoltaic power panel array that is mounted on the roof of the Battle Lab’s 128,000 square foot facility. There are three different roof structures ranging in height from 13 feet to 25 feet above the ground.
