Carneys Point committee hears community solar presentation, enrollment incentives explained
Summary
Mayor Bomba introduced a Community Solar presentation from Dimension Solar/Eversolar explaining a state-run subscriber-credit model; the township highlighted $50 subscriber gift cards and a $200 nonprofit enrollment incentive and encouraged rooftop and warehouse participation.
Mayor Bomba introduced a Community Solar presentation from Dimension Solar Energy (Eversolar) and described the program as "like a farm share for clean energy." The mayor explained that community solar lets residents and businesses subscribe to offsite or rooftop solar arrays and receive credits on their electric bills; he said that some enrollment incentives include a $50 gift card for subscribers and $200 directed to a township nonprofit when residents enroll.
The presentation reviewed sites including warehouse rooftops along Harding Highway and Golfwood Ave and framed the program as a New Jersey state benefit program supported by a prior 2023 resolution. Mayor Bomba and Mr. Brown took questions about how to enroll and who is eligible; the committee discussed outreach and asked the Recreation Commission and Industrial Commission to help publicize enrollment steps.
