Wakefern Food Corp. and NJR Clean Energy Ventures (NJRCEV), a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources, have begun work on the installation of a rooftop solar system at a Wakefern Food Corp. distribution center in Keasbey, N.J.
The 2.4 MW solar system, which will supply power to a refrigerated warehouse, is expected to produce nearly 2,900,000 kWh annually.
NJRCEV will invest $6.9 million to develop and install the array across the 300,000 square-foot rooftop. The system will be installed by Advanced Solar Products of Flemington, N.J., and is expected to be operational by Dec. 31.
