Ciel & Terre USA has completed a 4.4-megawatt floating solar array in Sayreville, N.J. The facility is the first floating array in the state<\/a> and the largest project of its kind in North America. <\/p>\n

The floating solar system will supply approximately 5,000 megawatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to cover the town\u2019s total energy requirements for its water treatment plan. The implementation team included local developer J&J Solar Power and Solar Renewable Energy, with engineering services provided by RETTEW Associates.<\/p>\n

The town of Sayreville launched a public request for proposals at the end of 2015, seeking developers via a power-purchase agreement as a way of offsetting energy consumption at the water treatment facility. The town\u2019s lack of available land made the Hydrelio floating photovoltaic system the ideal solution.<\/p>\n

While floating solar is not new, traditional photovoltaic has generally taken the spotlight. The first commercial installation in the U.S. was a 175-kilowatt-hour system installed in 2008 at the Far Niente Winery in California, placed atop a water reservoir to avoid occupying land intended for vineyards. In recent years, this technology has begun gaining traction, its capacity increasing to 1.1 gigawatts globally in mid-2018, as reported by the World Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
