Toys "R" US installs huge solar system

Do you have a large, flat building with a rooftop with Southern exposure?  If you do, read about Toys "R" US PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) on their site in NJ, and start looking at the economics of a possible PPA on your site.

Here's the link:  http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/3500.

Here's part of the story:  A Toys "R" Us distribution facility in New Jersey will soon be home to the largest solar rooftop installation in the country.  The huge installation will feature 37,000 solar panels producing 5.38 MW of power.
Toys "R" Us has entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Constellation Energy Group -- the builders of the project -- and will meet 72 percent of the facility's energy needs with the solar power system.  The facility's carbon footprint will be reduced by 4,569 tons.
The project just surpasses another huge solar roof in progress on top of the Jersey Gardens mall that will have a capacity of 4.8 MW.  Go New Jersey!

A 5.38 MW system is huge, and part of why it works is the value of the RECS in NJ. Other states need to get as aggressive as NJ in supporting the economics of renewable energy.

We will work to bring a spokes person on from Toys "R" Us to talk about the project, costs (of which they will bear none), savings on electrictiy and much more.
