G&S Solar, founded in 2009, is a vertically integrated solar company. Our roots extend back to 1982 when G&S Investors was founded as a real estate developer. We started our solar company by adding solar arrays to our own properties, lowering the cost of electricity to our tenants. The program was so successful that we expanded, offering a no-cost opportunity to others, providing electricity savings and promoting sustainability. To date we have built over 150 projects. Our two solar arrays totaling almost 1.5 megawatts have been operational since March 2011 and we are extremely pleased with the results.
G&S Solar is a vertically integrated solar company. Our leadership team has been involved in the renewable energy sector for over a decade and has over 30 years of industrial, residential and retail real estate construction experience. Our roots are as a real estate developer, and in 2009 we began to build solar arrays on our own properties so that we could provide the benefit of lower electricity costs to our tenants. The program was so successful that we decided to expand, offering the opportunity to other businesses to lower their electrical costs and to promote sustainability; at no cost to them.
G&S has built over 100 solar PV systems on commercial roofs across New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. Our rooftop systems are fixed tilt and ballasted, meaning that it lies on top of your roof (with no roof penetrations). At 10MW, our project in Wharton, NJ (see photo) is one of the largest rooftop solar arrays in the U.S. G&S has built over 25MW of ground-mount solar in New Jersey and Massachusetts, the power from which is sold to municipalities or property owners. Our 8.4 MW project in Wantage, NJ (see photo) was built on top of a rock quarry.
