Description:
Abstract:
The data contained within this layer represents information acquired from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program's Solar Activity Report (<http://www.njcleanenergy.com/renewable-energy/project-activity-reports/project-activity-reports>). The boundaries were calculated using a combination of 2015 ortho imagery and oblique aerial imagery using Pictometry.
Purpose:
The purpose of this data is to identify the boundaries of behind the meter (not grid supplied) solar PV installations in New Jersey that are greater than 1 megawatt (MW) in size. The data can be used by project managers, government entities and other stakeholders to understand the spatial extent of current photo voltaic installations and plan for future projects.
Supplemental_Information:
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) established the New Jersey Clean Energy Program in 2003. This program promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy. The Solar Activity Report is provided by the Clean Energy Program which describes solar projects in the State.
