The solar PV system was designed and installed by NJ Solar Power LLC on property owned by the Masons since the mid-1800s.

The installation consists of 5656 Kyocera KD205 solar PV modules, which are ground-mounted in a single, contiguous design utilizing UniRac structures and four PV-Powered, PVP 260-480 inverters.

The solar PV system has an estimated yearly power production of over 1.5 GWh, and the output will be sold to Solar Power Partners Inc under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

“The Masons have a long history of being responsible global citizens — their conversion to solar energy will minimize both their carbon footprint and utility expenses,” says Bob Powell, President and CEO of Solar Power Partners.

“Making the PPA available for the members of the Burlington Lodge ensures that they will have access to clean energy at a stable rate for years to come.”
