Data Source: 2017-2022: Sharing the Sun Project List 2022; Planned: NJ Community Solar Program Phase 1 and Phase 2. The
"planned" status includes approval/pending/under construction. The darker blue represents the cumulative installed capacity
(MWac) for community solar in operation by the corresponding year in New Jersey. The light blue represents the capacity
(MWac) of planned community solar projects to be installed in 2023 H1 and thereafter.
.
The New Jersey Community Solar
Energy Pilot Program has awarded
more than 180 MWac of projects.
By 2023 H1, 35 MWac of
community solar projects were
in operation.
While only a few projects have
been completed in 2023 H1,
New Jersey has set a
completion deadline of
November 2023 for the Pilot
Year 2 project (105 projects
with 127 MWac (165 MWdc) in
total).
This program has 152 MWac of
planned projects as of 2023 H1.
In 2023, New Jersey made its
community solar pilot program
permanent, which may increase the
community solar potential in the
future.
