This data is provided for informational purposes only. Past levels of installed capacity rates are not predictive of future values, and any persons considering investment in the solar market should perform their independent due diligence.
NJCEP Solar Generation Forecast
Assumptions used in forecast of annual capacity added: • Low - Based upon 50% of incremental RPS requirement
• Med - Based upon incremental RPS requirement
• High - Based upon 6 month average install rate, declining 20% per year
