Handyman Insurance, The Triumph of the Telephone Poles
For the first time, New Jersey nabbed the top spot this year in terms of installing photovoltaic (PV) capacity, surpassing California, the country’s longtime solar energy leader. Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G), New Jersey’s largest utility, has already built a hefty portion of that capacity and, by early 2013, will wrap up a four-year program to install 40 megawatts of power via telephone pole-mounted solar units. The distributed solar program, which will provide enough energy to power 6,500 homes, is the largest of its type worldwide.
