Yingli Green Energy (Yingli Solar) has supplied 15.5 MW of solar panels to Marina Energy, a PV project developer and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) provider that is wholly-owned by South Jersey Industries, a holding company for several New Jersey-based energy and energy services providers.
Marina Energy installed Yingli's multicrystalline YGE-U Series panels in three ground-mounted solar power plants in New Jersey: Frankford Solar, a 10 MW project located in Branchville; Holland Solar, a 3.5 MW project located in Holland; and Brickyard Solar, a 2 MW project located in Farmingdale. All three facilities are expected to be fully commercially operational by Q3 of this year. In total, they will generate approximately 17.5 million kWh of clean solar energy per year.
"Marina selected Yingli for these projects because they provided the best availability and product quality. They have proven to be a highly reputable company and we are proud to work with them," commented David Robbins, president of Marina Energy.
"We are pleased to bring clean energy to New Jersey communities in partnership with Marina Energy," commented Robert Petrina, managing director of Yingli Green Energy Americas, Inc. "This project builds on Yingli's deep experience and successful track record in the Garden State, which includes supplying high-profile projects for Rutgers University and the NY JETS, rooftop systems for homeowners, and ground-mounted PV power plants like those we've announced today."
