Project Fuji
Location: Franklin and Monroe Townships, Sussex County, New Jersey
MW of Clean Energy: 5 MWdc (1 MWdc behind-the-meter; 4 MWdc community solar)
Commercial Operations Projected to Begin: 2025
Land Usage: None! This project is sited on water
Project Fuji marks an innovative leap as Chabertonโs first floating solar, or flotovoltaic, installation. Located on an active sand mining site, Project Fuji will be deployed in two phases. The first phase is a 1 MWdc behind-the-meter (BTM) system, designed to meet the on-site energy needs of the production operations. The second phase is a 4 MWdc community solar project, allowing nearby residents and businesses to benefit from the energy generated via a solar energy credit program. The flotovoltaic technology, with solar arrays installed on the surface of a man-made lake on the property, makes efficient use of otherwise idle water resources, minimizing land impact while generating sustainable energy. The project is expected to significantly reduce CO2 emissions while maximizing energy production in a dense, industrial setting.
