Commercial Solar for Manufacturing in Edison, NJ
Edison hosts one of the densest concentrations of pharmaceutical, life sciences, and manufacturing facilities in the Northeast. Most have large flat roofs and high daytime load profiles ideal for commercial solar paired with battery storage for demand-charge offset.
Edison’s utility territory is split. Most of the township is PSE&G; portions of southeast Edison fall under JCP&L. We verify utility at the project address before any engineering work. Drive time from Cherry Hill HQ: 65 minutes.

What We Evaluate for Your Edison Manufacturing Facility
Edison manufacturing sites often run compressor-cycling equipment with sharp demand peaks, and some campuses need continuous power for critical processes. Our site assessment checks load shape, roof or ground-mount options, and continuity requirements before you price a system.
- Lower Energy Costs
- Increase Property Value
- Environmentally Friendly
- Energy Independence
Edison Manufacturing Site Assessment: Know the Load and Continuity Constraints First
- Electric bill review and demand-charge pattern check
- Roof and ground-mount structural review
- Process continuity and critical-power requirements check
- PSE&G interconnection and permitting scoping
- Clear next steps for design, pricing, and timelines
Incentives That Apply to Edison Manufacturing Projects
What we typically review (eligibility and amounts vary):
Cost coverage:
Some projects see 40% to 60% offset after stacking programs; eligibility and timing vary.
Tax credits:
Federal credits may reduce net cost; we help document requirements for your accountant.
NJ incentives:
Production-based programs can add ongoing value tied to energy output; availability depends on program status.
Payback modeling:
We run conservative ROI scenarios using your rates, available area, and load profile.
Our Process
Step 1: Share your bill and site details
Step 2: Design, incentives, and approvals plan
Step 3: Build, turn-on, and reporting
What an Edison Manufacturing Site Assessment Covers
Discovery call and utility data request
We start with your billing data, load profile, and any process continuity requirements that affect design.
Load and structural review
We check demand-charge patterns and whether rooftop, ground-mount, or a combination fits your site.
Continuity and permitting scoping
We map process continuity needs and the Edison Township permitting path early.
Stakeholder-ready summary
You get a summary built for operations and finance conversations, with clear next steps.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can battery storage help with our demand charges?
Often, yes. We model whether storage pencils against your specific demand-charge pattern during the assessment.
Do you handle facilities with continuous process power needs?
Yes. We design for process continuity, including zero-outage tie-in where required.
Is ground-mount an option if our roof is limited?
Where adjacent land is available, yes. We evaluate roof and ground-mount together during the site assessment.
Edison Manufacturing Solar Economics
Manufacturing facilities in Edison have compressor-cycling load profiles with sharp demand peaks: exactly the load shape where battery storage pencils. Sample math: a 200 kWh battery shaving 100 kW peak demand on PSE&G GLP can save approximately $26,400 per year in demand charges alone, on top of solar energy offset.
Edison Manufacturing Solar Project Process
Feasibility: load shape analysis, demand-charge modeling, structural pre-check, process power continuity requirements
Engineering: Combined rooftop + ground-mount design where applicable, battery enclosure with fire suppression, parallel transformer for zero-outage AC tie-in
Permitting: Edison Township Building Department permit, electrical permit, fire marshal review for battery installation
Utility interconnection: PSE&G or JCP&L Level 2 review with storage-specific interconnection requirements
Construction: Zone-by-zone install on operating facility, weekend tie-in, GxP-aware sequencing for pharma
PTO + SuSI + NJESI: Utility witness test, NJBPU SuSI registration, NJ Energy Storage Incentive capacity-based incentive capture
What This Looks Like in Practice
Edison hosts pharma campuses, Raritan Center industrial park, and Route 1 commercial corridor: each with different solar economics. Pharma campuses require GxP-aware construction sequencing and critical-power continuity. Raritan Center facilities benefit from massive roof inventory.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the typical commercial solar project size for this industry in this area?
Varies by facility size and load profile. We size systems against your specific 12-month utility data to maximize ROI without oversizing for net metering caps.
How long does a typical project take from contract to PTO?
4 to 7 months for a 100-500 kW system. The longest phase is utility interconnection review, which varies by utility (PSE&G 8-14 weeks; JCP&L 10-16 weeks; ACE 12-18 weeks).
What incentives apply to this combination of industry and location?
Federal 30% ITC, MACRS depreciation, bonus depreciation (current step-down), NJ Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) credits for 15 years, net metering at retail rate, and NJ property tax exemption. For paired storage, NJESI capacity-based incentive applies.
Do you have case studies from similar projects?
Yes. See /resources/case-studies/ for three detailed LandAir case studies including warehouse (425 kW), dealership carport (280 kW), and manufacturer + battery (1.2 MW + 250 kWh).
