Rocklin, CA-based RWE SCHOTT Solar, Inc. (RSS) recently announced that its plan to develop a network of dealers in New Jersey has received a $270,354 grant from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Office of Clean Energy's Renewable Energy and Economic Development (REED) program.
According to the company, the BPU grant will help "defray the costs associated with increasing public awareness of New Jersey's renewable energy programs and will support creating and training a dealer infrastructure to sell, service and install RSS solar electric power systems in the state. The company also noted that the dealership development program "will target energy services companies such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning business and electrical contractors, as well as oil and gas energy concerns that could benefit by adding photovoltaics to their operations."
"These first awards under the REED Program are a major step forward in developing New Jersey's renewable energy resources," said BPU president Jeanne Fox. "I am hopeful these grants will encourage more companies in New Jersey to embrace New Jersey's goal to develop smart technologies that are good for increasing the state's energy independence, environment and economy."
