Brief

Dynamic Energy Solutions, LLC completed a 696 kW solar photovoltaic project for Smarties Candy Company’s manufacturing facility in Union, New Jersey. The solar system involved the installation of a roof-mounted, ballasted array consisting of 2,142 solar panels. With an anticipated annual production of over 845,000 kWh, the solar system will effectively eliminate 594 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year, the equivalent to removing 125 cars from New Jersey Roads each year.
