PERTH AMBOY, NJ – The completion of two rooftop solar installations by Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G) and Matrix Development Group marks the latest project in PSEG’s “Solar 4 All” program that will develop 80 megawatts of solar energy by 2012.The 2.8-megawatt installation atop two adjacent Matrix buildings at 1000 & 1050 Amboy Avenue consist of 10,395 solar panels, covering more than 217,000 square feet. They connect directly into the electrical grid and will produce enough electricity to power 470 average-sized homes.

“This project exemplifies Solar 4 All’s innovative approach to developing solar resources while preserving open space,” says Al Matos, PSE&G’s VP of Renewables and Energy Solutions. “Large warehouse roofs are underserved real estate for solar development in New Jersey. By building these rooftop systems we are utilizing undeveloped space, providing a valuable source of revenue to building owners unlocking economic value and creating clean solar power for all of our electric customers to use.”

PSE&G is using leading solar energy companies to help deploy solar systems across the state. The Matrix project was built by San Diego-based enXco. "This project represents a significant step forward for New Jersey in helping to achieve the state's goal of being a recognized leader in the renewable energy arena,” says Richard F.X. Johnson, the partner in charge of Matrix Renewable Energy Services, a division of Cranbury, NJ-based Matrix Development Group. “As a company steadfastly committed to energy-efficiency best practices, Matrix is strongly aligned with the mission of PSE&G's Solar 4 All program to expand New Jersey's solar capacity for the benefit of all residents and business owners in the state."
