The Dream of Solar Energy for New Jersey Schools Is Now a Reality
Solar Projects on Schools Can Receive 100% Grant Funding

• Right now, New Jersey schools can opt to have solar energy systems installed with up to 100% of the capital cost paid by two State-run programs:
• The New Jersey Clean Energy Program provides 60% of the cost of the solar energy system through the Customer Sited Renewable Energy Program (www.njcep.com), and
• The Schools Construction Corporation will augment this capital investment with a grant of up to 40% of the cost through the Section 15 Grant Agreement process (www.njscc.com).

The more solar the schools install, the greater the savings to the school district!

• Hundreds of solar energy systems have already been installed in New Jersey, including school-based systems.
• New Jersey has the best net-metering regulations in the country. The school’s electric bill will be reduced at the full retail rate for each unit of energy produced from the solar energy system.
• A solar energy system can be installed on the roof of a school without any roof penetrations. The solar energy system is designed to automatically serve the power needs of the school in parallel with its traditional utility.

Why Should My School Partner with WorldWater & Power Corp.?

• WorldWater & Solar Technologies, Corp. is the oldest and largest provider of solar energy systems in New Jersey.
• WorldWater & Solar Technologies, Corp. has 20 years of experience installing solar energy systems throughout the world.
• WorldWater & Solar Technologies’ award-winning engineers and technical staff know how to build systems that are efficient, durable and reliable.
• WorldWater & Solar Technologies’ patented solar technology adds additional efficiency and security benefits that other companies cannot provide.

Following a formal groundbreaking ceremony on February 5, 2004, construction began on installation of the nation’s largest photovoltaic (PV) system on a community college campus.  The total construction contract of $8.9 million was awarded to Contra Costa Electric of Bakersfield, CA, which selected WorldWater & Power Corp. for the exclusive PV systems supply. The project was completed in June 2004.

The one megawatt system is expected to supply 60 percent of the college’s total energy requirements and provide approximately $300,000 per year in energy savings, according to college officials.

The project design consists of 6-1/2 acres of ground mounted Sharp Electronics solar modules and a freestanding concrete building that houses the inverters, distribution equipment and that also allows for student laboratory space.
