BGO, Dimension Energy and Black Bear Energy have celebrated the energization of a new 4.99-megawatt rooftop community solar system in Somerset, N.J. This system marks the second of two colocated systems on a single industrial warehouse, which already hosts an existing 4.97-megawatt system built under New Jersey's original Community Solar Energy Pilot Program. Combined, the warehouse now hosts an unprecedented 9.9-megawatt of community solar, making it the largest industrial rooftop community solar host in New Jersey history.
While New Jersey's permanent community solar rules prohibit co-locating more than 5 megawatts on a single site, the first system was permitted and constructed under the separate Pilot Program, which was governed by a different regulatory framework. This distinction allows both projects to co-exist on the same roof, unlocking nearly 10 megawatts of generation from a single building. Together, the two systems will generate approximately 12 million kilowatt
