CentraState Medical Center produces the largest percentage of solar power of any hospital in New Jersey. The projects are projected to produce approximately 70% of the hospital’s electric needs and save over $600,000 in annual energy costs, more on-site generation than any other hospital in New Jersey.
CentraState Medical Center has been a true champion of solar renewable energy - CI Renewables (formerly KDC Solar) installed the first project for CentraState in 2014 - a 6.32 MW fixed ground mount. The team returned in 2019 to install a 3.94 MW dual-tilt carport and then again in 2020 to install another 1.58 MW dual-tilt carport over the remaining viable parking areas totaling 1,244 parking spots. In addition to the solar projects, the CentraState campus was transformed with all new asphalt paving and curbing upgrades, new landscaping throughout the parking lots and all new efficient LED lighting under all the canopies. All three projects are directly connected with the hospital infrastructure and provides power behind the meter to the not-for-profit healthcare facility.
“CentraState is proud to have the amount of largest solar facilities of any hospital in New Jersey and receive the clean energy from these on-site systems. Having 70% of our energy needs satisfied by these systems evidences our serious commitment not only to the delivery of world class medical treatment but also to our environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as our electric costs. KDC Solar has proven to be a valuable and innovative partner to CentraState since 2014 delivering on their promises and seamlessly integrating these systems with our operating hospital. We look forward to other opportunities to work with KDC Solar. (CI Renewables).”
