PSEG started the nation’s largest distributed solar power project a couple of years back. That included putting up thousands of the panels on poles. We’ve got a ton of them nearby - none on our block though b/c of the trees.

New Jersey has one of the more aggressive solar power programs in the country - there are solar installations all over - at the Bergen County Courthouse parking garage (rooftop), across from the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, and in Rutherford near NJ Transit. There’s new stuff coming every few months.

I just can’t wait to see them get the wind turbines installed offshore though - that’ll really boost power generation. We go up to Central NY and in the past couple of years, there’s been an explosion in the number of wind turbines installed all over there (and the NIMBY’s are busy there too - with complaining about how turbines make people sick with the noise/whine - which so far is completely unsubstantiated as an actual medical condition).
