Did you know that New Jersey was the 2nd largest producer of solar-generated power in the country in 2007? Yep, with 70K kilowatts of solar-generated power, New Jersey was 2nd only to California which produced over 528 K kilowatts of solar power. This according to statistics published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

The Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) in New Jersey announced a program which would double New Jersey's solar output by 2013. This program is called the SOLAR 4 ALL program in which four solar farms will be built in New Jersey. These solar farms would be built in Trenton, Hamilton, Edison and Linden. The New Jersey PS&G also plans to install thousands of solar panels which will be on pole-mounted utilities.

How much solar power is this new program expected to generate? Over 80,000 kilowatts or enough to power 64,000 homes!

According to New Jersey officials, this may well be the largest installation of solar panels in the world.

Wouldn't it be great if every state implemented a SOLAR 4 ALL program? Think of all the energy we'd be able to save by utilizing earth's most renewable energy.
