Geoscape Solar http://www.geoscapesolar.com, a solar power integrator based in New Jersey, has completed its installation of a 733-kW solar power system for Atlantic Central Logistics (ACL) http://www.atpaclogistics.com, located in Elizabeth, N.J. The system was comprised of 4,072 solar panels and roughly 10 miles of wiring.Approximately 75 percent of ACL’s electric needs will be met by solar power. In addition, not only did the project lead to 35 new green jobs in Elizabeth, but it will also noticeably diminish carbon dioxide throughout the next 30 years, to the point in which it is comparable to the planting of 65,000 trees.

Of note, such green jobs development is not unusual in Elizabeth as the town has been included in Popular Sciencemagazine’s list of the U.S.’s top 50 greenest cities in the past.
