Case Study
NJAW Canoe Brook WTP Solar PV System
PROJECT RESULTS & KEY METRICS: Northeast’s first commercial floating photovoltaic system Estimated to produce approximately 136,000 kWh annually Unique design using special docking system Engineering News Record Project of the Year Honorable Mention, Innovation CASE STUDY NJAW Canoe Brook WTP Solar PV System SCOPE New Jersey American Water contracted Edison Energy to conduct solar photovoltaic surveys on 16 of their New Jersey locations. Many of these locations were remote and forested. and contained large reservoirs as part of NJAW’s water distribution system. In Edison Energy’s Dem and Solutions team’s efforts to complete the surveys in a comprehensive manner, the team conceptualized utilizing the vast surface area of the reservoir to host the photovoltaic system.
