Utility Poles Solar Panels A Regular Sight In Tenafly & Bergen County Towns

Tenafly Pole Mounted Solar Panels

As part of a state-approved plan dated back to July 2009, PSE&G’s Solar 4 All program is now being implemented in Tenafly and many other Bergen County suburbs.  The program involves a $515 million investment in 80 megawatts of solar power over its 20-year course, creating green jobs and vastly increasing the amount of renewable energy capacity in the state of New Jersey.

The modern looking panels measuring 5′ by 2.5′ have been popping up on many electric poles with a southern exposure.The program’s first segment consists of installing up to 40 megawatts of pole-attached smart solar units in neighborhoods on utility poles in PSE& G’s service territory, which includes the state’s six largest cities and roughly 300 rural and suburban communities. This is the largest pole-attached solar installation in the world, with the smart solar units connected directly into PSE& G’s electric distribution system.
