Toms River, New Jersey, has taken a commendable step towards a greener and more sustainable future with the establishment of a new community solar farm. The solar farm not only harnesses the power of the sun but also fosters a sense of collective responsibility towards the environment. The Toms River community solar farm has gained significant momentum with Solstice and the Brick Housing Authority playing key roles as the driving force behind its popularity with local community members. By partnering with Solstice, the Brick Housing Authority is making a significant impact by enabling residents to enroll in clean energy and get savings of up to 21% while supporting a sustainable future for the community. Moreover, Solstice extends its support for the community even further by providing a $50 enrollment bonus to each enrolled resident, and additional financial incentives to those who refer their neighbors and friends. As advocates for the communities we serve, Solstice is ensuring the benefits of renewable energy projects reach every corner of TOWN, and every member has the opportunity to subscribe and save.

The community solar farm in Toms River marks a significant milestone in the region's transition towards renewable energy sources. “I am very pleased with the outcome of the Solstice Solar event. It was a win-win situation for everyone involved.” Said Jake Naszimento, Executive Director of Brick Housing Authority, “The residents got to save money and help the planet, and the housing authority got to partner with a reputable and innovative company. Solstice Solar did a fantastic job of explaining the program and making the sign-up process easy and convenient. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable solar provider.”

By harnessing the sunlight, the solar farm generates clean and sustainable electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting down harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Through its innovative design and inclusive approach, this local solar project is breaking down the barriers to enter the clean energy transition and offers the opportunity for residents and businesses alike to participate in and benefit from solar energy generation, regardless of their individual ability to install solar panels on their properties. Signing up is an easy process as well: residents can visit https://solstice.us/njpatch to learn more and enroll in just minutes.

The introduction of the community solar farm brings several tangible benefits to the Toms River community. Firstly, it offers an environmentally friendly source of energy, reducing the township's carbon footprint and contributing to the global fight against climate change. By supporting solar power over traditional energy sources alone, Toms River takes a step towards a more sustainable future.

Secondly, the community solar farm provides an opportunity for residents and businesses to access solar energy without the need for individual installations. This is particularly beneficial for households or businesses with limited roof space, shading issues, or other constraints that may prevent them from installing solar panels such as income or credit history. Home ownership is not a restriction either; renters are welcome to join and receive the same benefits for their apartments, condos, and townhomes! Through a subscription-based model, community members can tap into the solar farm's collective energy generation, thereby reducing their electricity bills while supporting renewable energy development. Residents can sign up in just a few minutes by visiting https://solstice.us/njpatch while spots are still available.

The Brick Housing Authority has played an instrumental role in the success of the community solar farm, solidifying their commitment to sustainable practices and a vision for a more equitable and inclusive energy landscape. By actively informing and enrolling residents of their apartment complexes in the solar farm, the Brick Housing Authority not only helps reduce energy costs for its residents but also sets an inspiring example for other housing authorities and communities across the state.
