Little Ferry, NJ, USA: Access Self Storage to Proceed with Six Solar Energy Installations

Access Self Storage has selected the Viron Consulting Group to design and install grid-tied solar electric systems at its facilities in Bernardsville, Clark, Franklin Lakes, Kenilworth, Oakland and Woodbridge, New Jersey.

The announcement was made by Mr. James Greco, President of Access Self Storage and Mr. Thomas Voss, Principal of the Viron Consulting Group, LLC.

"By installing solar panels we are making a financial commitment that is good for the environment and makes fiscal sense." elaborated Greco. "These systems will help with the fight against global warming and reduce our dependency on foreign oil." "We chose the Viron Consulting Group to manage the project because of their holistic approach to our energy concerns" continued Mr. Greco. "And because the system they designed included panels made in the United States."

The systems feature approximately 4,544 American made photovoltaic panels capable of generating more than 1,000,000 kWh of electricity annually, which will significantly offset the company's electrical demand.

The panels are manufactured by SolarWorld, the largest PV manufacturer in the USA since 1977, with factories in Washington, Oregon and California. Thanks to the financial incentives currently available from the state and federal governments, the project will pay for itself in approximately 2 - 3 years.

"When you combine New Jersey's Renewable Energy Rebate Program and Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) system with the 30% Grant available from the US Treasury, now is the best time to install solar electric in NJ" explained Mr. Voss. "People don't realize New Jersey is second only to California when it comes to the capacity of grid-tied solar electric installations in the United States."

Installation of the systems is scheduled to begin this summer and be completed by the end of the year.
