Avidan Management has finished work on its 4.26MW rooftop solar system in Edison, New Jersey. The array, designed and installed by Solar Nation, generates 5 million kWh of electricity a year, which will be used to help power the 656,255-square-foot office and storage facility on which the system is housed.

The 17-acre roof is populated by 17,745 SolarWorld panels, making it the largest roof array in the US, and its official unveiling was attended by local politicians and businessmen, including the head of Avidan Management, Avi Avidan.

“In addition to the substantial environmental benefits this system affords, we are now able to provide our tenants with clean energy that costs 30% less than conventional energy sources,” Avidan said. “This significant project would not have been possible were it not for the support of our public officials, as well as our great partners at Solar Nation and SolarWorld.”
