Go figure...(600W/pole)?
120MW from 200,00 utility poles
estimated to cost $6.44/W installed (grid tied)

Re: New Jersey Utility Plans Major Solar Project
nope, that would be 200w/pole. it's 120mw / 1/3 = 40mw. 40mw / 200,000 poles = 200w/pole. this is good to help with peak demand timeperiods. being closer to the loads it is also more efficient while lessening the strain on the grid. that power level seems consistent with those new 200w grid tie inverters from enphase. coincidence -

I wonder what the practical efficiency of this will turn out to be? NJ isn't exactly the sunniest spot on Earth. -

And without monitoring, in a few years all those panels might just be pole ornaments as the little GT inverters fail overtime. Sounds like someone is greasing the way for some product sales ...
