Burlington County Distribution Center: 425 kW Rooftop Solar
The 425 kW rooftop solar system at this Burlington County distribution center represents what well-engineered commercial solar looks like in the South Jersey logistics corridor. Built in 2022 on a TPO single-ply roof with ballasted attachment, the system offsets approximately 62% of the facility’s annual electric consumption while preserving the building’s existing roof manufacturer warranty.
How LandAir Approached This Burlington County Project
- Engineering-led design, reviewed by licensed NJ professional engineers
- One team owns design, permitting, construction and commissioning
- Documented assumptions, so the savings math holds up after turn-on
This 425 kW rooftop project required careful balance between roof structural capacity, ballast weight loading, and tenant operational continuity. The facility operates two shifts with high dock activity throughout the day, so all construction sequencing was designed to avoid impact on loading and unloading operations beneath active install zones.
Engineering started with a structural pre-check using the building’s as-built drawings to confirm capacity for ballasted attachment — the existing 55 psf roof capacity comfortably accommodated the system’s 4.5 psf ballast load with a 12% structural margin. PSE&G interconnection application was submitted in parallel with detailed engineering, anticipating the supplemental review typically triggered for systems above 50 kW. Roof zones were sequenced so dock-side operations never had overhead activity during shifts.
The system commissioned in late 2022 has performed within 3% of the PVsyst-modeled production estimate over its first 18 months of operation. Annual production averages 510,000 kWh, offsetting approximately 62% of the facility’s electricity consumption. Net cost after federal ITC, MACRS depreciation, and first-year NJ Successor Solar Incentive credits landed at approximately 45% of gross system cost — yielding a simple payback of 5.2 years.
