Ice House of New Jersey Installs 843-kW System

Ice House of New Jersey, the Tri-State area’s largest ice arena, has flipped the switch on an 843-kW solar system. The system was designed and installed by Mercury Solar Systems Mays Landing office and is expected to meet 22 percent of Ice House’s annual electricity needs.

“This system has drastically reduced our reliance on fossil fuels and will provide a cleaner environment for the thousands of kids that utilize our facility every year,” commented Robert Bakos, Operations Manager at Ice House. “We are in the process of installing a solar information station in our facility to help educate the kids about the benefits of solar energy.”

The 3,666 panel system will produce enough energy to power 265 average size residential homes every year. This is equivalent to recycling over 16 million cans of soda, planting 60,000 trees and taking 110 cars off the road every year.

“We commend Ice House for taking this step toward a greener future. Solar energy systems continue to produce significant savings and a solid return on investment for local businesses in New Jersey and we believe this will continue to drive the market forward,” commented Jared Haines, President of Mercury Solar Systems.
