North America's Largest Floating Solar Farm Goes Online

New Jersey's largest floating solar farm, owned and operated by NJR Clean Energy Ventures, is now online. The 8.9 MW floating solar array covers 17 acres of the Canoe Brook reservoir in Short Hills and consists of 16,510 solar panels. The clean power generated is enough to power 1,400 homes annually and will provide around 95% of the power needs for New Jersey American Water’s Canoe Brook Water Treatment Plant. The floating solar panels reduce evaporation and increase efficiency by keeping the panels cool.
