(WWAT), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) today commissioned the new solar system at the Clarkson S.

This is the first solar installation for the GSA Mid-Atlantic Region and the first GSA project for WorldWater. It is projected to yield an energy savings of approximately 50,000-kilowatt hours annually. Installed on the roof of the seven-story Annex, the photovoltaic array will provide a substantial portion of the building's electricity during daylight hours. When offices are closed, the Courthouse will earn net metering credits from PSE&G for system-generated electricity, further reducing the government's utility bill. The project was funded in partnership with the state of New Jersey through the Customer Onsite Renewable Energy (CORE) program administered by NJPBU.

Dignitaries attending the event included: Barbara L. Shelton, Regional Administrator, GSA Mid-Atlantic Region; Mark Ewing, Director, Center for Energy Expertise and Joseph Fiordaliso, Commissioner, State of NJ Board of Public Utilities. WorldWater executives also attended along with Ray Angelini of RAI, WorldWater's joint venture partner in the project, among others.

Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman and CEO of WorldWater & Solar Technologies stated, ``We are encouraged that state and federal governments are aggressively supporting solar power. The Federal Energy Bill that instituted the 30% investment tax credit is spurring investors, creating private sector jobs and benefiting the environment across the country. This milestone GSA project shows how state and federal interests can cooperate to show how public buildings can also benefit from solar, save on electricity, use less fossil fuel and avoid emitting tons of carbon dioxide into our air.''
