North Jersey Media Group has enlisted the help of KDC Solar to build a PV facility to power its Rockaway printing and packaging facility. With 20,400 panels, the plant will be among the largest in New Jersey and generate around 4.2 million kWh of electricity a year; construction work on the site will run from January to December, 2011.
“We are excited about the opportunity to team up with North Jersey Media Group and bring additional environmental benefits to their Rockaway operations,” said KDC Solar's CEO, Hal Kamine. “The solar facility at the Rockaway plant is a wonderful example of the environment created by New Jersey policymakers for solar energy to deliver long-term low cost energy for a New Jersey company which employs more than 1,100 people with behind-the-metre solar electric systems.”

“We used all the space available to install this solar facility including erecting car ports with panels on top. The end result is almost 50% of our electricity needs will be met through the sun,” added Stephen Borg, president of North Jersey Media Group.
