December 11, 2002—Cordis Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson company, recently dedicated a new 72-kilowatt solar electric system at the company’s Warren, New Jersey site. The new solar system makes use of the roof of a building to generate on-site electricity and help reduce the company’s annual consumption of commercially produced electric energy.
This new solar electric system at Cordis’ Warren, NJ site, furnished by PowerLight Corporation, is the first to be installed by a Johnson & Johnson company in New Jersey. The first system was installed at Neutrogena Corporation in Los Angeles in July 2001, with another now in place in Pennsylvania.
Johnson & Johnson’s Worldwide Engineering and Real Estate group developed the corporation’s clean energy initiative.
The 72-kilowatt solar electric system covers over 15,800 square feet of the Cordis facility’s roof. It is comprised of 1,680 PowerLight solar electric tiles. The energy project was partially funded by New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program and the Virginia Alliance for Solar Electricity.
