Rooftop Solar Chills Massive NJ Food Warehouse

The project was completed ahead of schedule, despite the high-wind location on the Delaware River and the fact that oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was required.

“A lot of things had to happen to make this project come together, and we enjoyed great teamwork from conceptualization through installation and onto completion,” said Leo Holt, president of Gloucester Terminals. “This project positions Gloucester Terminals for future success in an incredibly competitive field and helps ensure plenty of activity for the Delaware River port community.”

Many other states, such as California, Maryland, New York, and Arizona, among others, have embarked on solar rooftop projects, but none as impressive as the Gloucester site with its more than 27,000 solar panels.

Smaller scale rooftop solar power technology has steadily improved for the do-it-yourself types who strive to follow the lead of these big investors. To learn more about renewable energy for your own home, click here to check out the Instant Connect solar panel system from Westinghouse Solar.

    With the SREC market at or below $100 / SREC, how did the owners rationalize their investment?

    I think this is great.  I think solar energy should be installed at the point of use, like this application.  It is better than trying to power a leaky power grid.  Every watt saved on the user side is several saved on the generating side.  I think if we can incorporate solar more into the home market, even if it is only partial, like solar water heating and maybe power all the lighting in the house.  We got to start some where.
