Maryland-headquartered Standard Solar, a US developer, and PNCT have completed a 7.2 MW solar project across a 320-acre active terminal in Newark. The system includes 3.8 MW of elevated canopy arrays over truck lanes and 3.4 MW of rooftop and parking canopy arrays. It supplies half of PNCT’s energy and has cut emissions by 50%. Built with the Port Authority and City of Newark, the project was completed without disrupting operations. A real-time dashboard monitors energy production and carbon savings. Excess power is fed to the Newark grid to boost local resilience. Standard Solar owns and operates the system long-term. The project supports PNCT’s 2011 clean energy roadmap, which also includes LED lighting, hybrid carriers, propane tractors, and electric cranes.Earlier, Standard Solar expanded in Illinois with a 39 MW solar portfolio across schools and municipalities, reinforcing its multi-state deployment strategy alongside projects like the PNCT terminal.
