The company announced Wednesday that its 1,314-panel array was up and running. The solar power system will prevent the emissions of 7,000 tons of carbon, 57,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 35,000 pounds of nitrogen oxides, Archive Systems said.
In addition, the solar installation will produce 300,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year - enough to power 27 average homes.
Archive Systems has already adopted green practices under what it calls the Go Green Initiative. Its efforts have saved more than 5 million pounds of paper fiber in the past two years - and the company can look forward to an even greener future ahead.
"We are very excited that we are able to build on the success of our Go Green Initiative by taking advantage of a solar energy system to reduce our carbon footprint," Archive Systems CEO Gordon Rapkin said.
For companies in New Jersey, solar projects can help slash utility bills and reduce carbon output. In the future, it's likely that more New Jersey firms will follow Archive Systems' lead.
