Vineland Goes Green

Today, our country marks its 45th Earth Day; Vineland businesses and residents
celebrate great strides. { BY MICKEY BRANDT }
At Rossi Honda, owner Ron Rossi has been at the forefront of

investing in solar panels that more than power his dealership.

he amount of solar power generated electricity

continues to increase but remains a tiny fraction of all power produced in the United States.
Locally, a big surge in production early in the decade
has led to a period now of consistent, but slower,
growth.
Utility-scale solar power generation is projected to
increase in 2015, but it will still make up only 0.6 percent of total U.S. electricity generation, according to
the Energy Information Administration. Utility-scale
solar more than doubled in 2013 and EIA expects solar
capacity will nearly double again by the end of 2015.
In Vineland, following a wave of construction
beginning in 2008, Vineland Municipal Electric Utility
(VMEU) now buys a significant portion of its power
under long-term, below-market contracts from five
privately owned solar fields in the city and a sixth pays
VMEU to use its transmission lines. Combined with
private commercial and residential solar generation,
Vineland has approximately 35 megawatts of installed
solar power, representing about 20 percent of VMEU's
peak capacity and producing roughly seven percent of
the communitys total energy requirement.
In 2011, the Solar Electrical Power Association
(SEPA) recognized VMEU as the top utility in the
country in annual solar power generation per customer. Vineland has since fallen out of the SEPA top 10
in annual ranking, but remains second to Milford,
Delaware, on a cumulative scale over three years.
VMEUs solar initiative, along with its phase-out of
inefficient equipment, has provided customers with
three rate decreases. CEO Joe Isabella, in an interview

Century Savings Celebrates

150th Anniversary
The word sesquicentennial may be foreign to
many, but in Cumberland County its a bit more
familiar. The term, meaning 150th anniversary, was
commonly uttered locally in 2011 when the City of
Vineland marked the milestone of 15 decades
since its founding. The City of Bridgeton celebrated
its sesquicentennial 20 years ago, but the term will
be popularized once morethere and throughout
the Cumberland County areain the coming
months as one of the oldest financial institutions
in the area prepares to celebrate 150 years of serving the community.
Century Savings Bank was originally formed on
June 9, 1865, as the Bridgeton Building and Loan
Association when a group of Bridgeton businessmen recognized the need for a bank to help manage the economic growth of the region. The bank
opened with $2,096.50 in total assets. Over the
course of the next 100 years, the bank experienced a small handful of mergers, acquisitions
and growth (see centurysb.com for full history)
and, to commemorate its first 100 years in 1965,
the name of the bank was changed to Century

CompleteCare Breaks Ground on Vineland Health Campus

After a long, three-year wait and numerous roadblocks, CompleteCare Health Network

phlebotomy labs, a pharmacy and more.
This is truly CompleteCares most ambitious project to date, said Curtis Edwards,
CompleteCare President & CEO. The health
center will be 19,619 square feet and it was
designed using a unique pod model. This
state-of-the-art layout puts patient care and
comfort at the heart of the design.
Im glad to see this taking place in
Vineland, said Vineland Mayor Ruben
Bermudez. This health center will surely be a
benefit to the entire city.
As with all CompleteCare locations, the
Vineland Health Campus will serve all of those
who need care no matter their insurance status
or ability to pay, as well as continuing to be
the health care home for those with Medicaid and Medicare. Services at the new site will
include Pediatric and Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Podiatry, Optometry,
Ophthalmology, Womens Health Services, Counseling Services and health education classes.
CompleteCare anticipates that the medical services offered the new location will serve
20,000 patients for a total of 60,000 visits per year and dental will serve 6,000 patients
for a total of 13,000 visits annually.

Dr. Todd Regnaert has a lot of interests,

but there is one activity that claims his
time every dayexercising at the YMCA of
Vineland. This Buena resident is a both
dentist and a Major in the Air Force
Reserve/Air National Guard. At the YMCA,
he swims and lifts weights, sometimes
going to the Y facility twice in one day.
Dr. Regnaert practices dentistry full-time
at Millville Family Dental. His military
responsibilities include maintaining a high
standard of dental care for troops who may
be deployed around the world.
A commitment to fitness is an important
part of Dr. Regnaerts life. He considers it an obligation and recommends the
Vineland YMCA as a place to pursue it. Id tell anyone to go over to the Y and get
yourself plugged in, he asserted. Theres something for everyone there. Dr.
Regnaert and his son often work out together at the Y before work and school. At
the Y, they make you feel like family, he noted. I never have to worry about my
son there because its a family-friendly environment.
Angelica Mercado, the YMCAs Membership director, praised Dr. Regnaert. She
said, He especially understands the value of the Ys programs. With his healthy
lifestyle, Todd is just the kind of person we had in mind when we instituted the
program for military personnel at the Y. This includes free child watch services
for kids under age eleven and special pricing.
The dentist is married and has two sons. He and his wife, Sandy, exercise
together at the Y in the evenings, often with their sons.

Serving our community for over 88 years!
everal columns back, I wrote about

Vineland Pride and how each one of
us can do our part to bring pride
back to our downtown and our entire
community. We have an easy way for you
to help us get started.
The birds are singing, the trees are
ready to bud, the snow shovel can be put
back in storageits the season for renewal and rebirth. We usher in that time with
some cleaning up and planting to prepare
our downtown for the summer and to
keep it looking good.
Well be doing our annual Spring CleanUp Day and Planting Day on Saturday,
April 25 and May 2, respectively, from 9
a.m. to 12 noon. AND WELL NEED
PLENTY OF VOLUNTEERS!!
Heres why. Well initially focus our
efforts on the mini-parks at Landis
Avenue and the Boulevard because of
their value as focal points for people passing through out downtown. But we want
to go beyond that and get to other locations that need attentionplanters, landscaping around parking lots, and pedestrian alleyways. Weeds, leaves, trash, litter,
and other debris have accumulated in
these areas and need to be removed. In
other areas, plants have long overstayed
their welcome and need to be removed to
refresh those areas. Its a lot of work and,
while not all if it will get done on those
days, we can certainly make a significant
dent and start an ongoing maintenance
program with enough people-power. We
want to use this to set the stage for our
participation in an Adopt-a-Block program, where groups of volunteers will
adopt entire downtown square blocks for
regular clean-up and beautification.
So, were looking for single volunteers,
as well as clubs and organizations, to
come out and help and to adopt areas
that theyll maintain throughout the year.
Itll be fun, itll be good, healthy exercise,
and itll go far to help make our downtown look the best it can be. The more
people we get on boardnot only for
these two weeks, but for the Adopt-aBlock programthe more we can do and
the easier itll be. If you work by yourself,
I can use you. If you can bring some
friends, so much the better. Well be working rain or shine. Ivy Acres will be donating the flowers again this year for Spring
Planting Day.
So, where will we begin? Well all meet
by 9 a.m. on both days at the mini-parks at
Landis Avenue and the Boulevard. Well
start there, and the extra volunteers will
drive or walk to other areas that need
work. We know that, after a few hours of
work, people get hungry, so well have
pizza for the volunteers to enjoy after
theyre finished working.
Sounds like a plan? Please call me or email meor just show up. Youll come
away feeling pride in doing your part to
making our downtown the best it can be
and itll all be part of showing Pride in
Vineland.
***
On Sunday, May 3, make plans to
come down to the 600 block of Landis
Avenue from 2 to 7 p.m. for Vinelands
Fourth Annual Cinco de Mayo
Multicultural Celebration. We keep building on the success this festival has
achieved over the past three years. Well
have Mexican food, music, and folk dancing, multicultural cuisine, arts and crafts,
educational exhibits, and, for the kids,
face-painting, a moon bounce, piatas, and
lots more. Watch for more details in the
press and in next weeks column. I

Federal Savings and Loan Association.

In its first century, the bank had grown
to over $18 million in assets. In the interest of preserving their unique blend of
big-bank services and small-town individual attention, the bank converted its
charter in 1998 to a mutual savings institution, becoming Century Savings Bank.
David Hemple, who began his banking
career in 1983 as a teller at Century, is now
the banks President and CEO. Hemple
says that, as a mutual bank, Century
Savings Bank is owned by its depositors
and all profits go back into the bank.
Being a community bank and a
mutual institution, we can really give
back to our customers where we do
business. Theres no stock and no shareholders, so all of our earnings are reinvested 100 percent back into the bank,
he says, adding that there is only a small
handful of mutual institutions in our
region (as few as 500 of the 7,000 banks
in the country are mutuals).
Hemple says the banks longevity can
be attributed to a very conservative
banking philosophy and a committment
to keeping it simple. In fact, for the
first 115 years, the bank offered just two
products: passbook savings accounts
and home mortgages. Century Savings
now offers all of the products one can
expect of a modern bank, including
checking accounts, electronic and mobile
banking, CDs, IRAs and both consumer
and commercial lending.
Weve all seen how the financial landscape constantly changes, but sound
financial principles and our deep-rooted
commitment to this community have
enabled Century Savings Bank to not only
survive, but flourish for a century and a
half, said Alan Woodruff, Chairman of
Centurys Board of Directors. One hundred and fifty years is a remarkable milestone in the banking industry. We are
stronger than ever, and we are extremely
excited to share this success with our customers, friends, and neighbors.
Throughout the year, Century Savings
Banks celebratory plans will include: an
interactive multimedia campaign featuring local customers and community partners; an expansion of their centurysb.com
website to memorialize the history of the
Bank and the communities it serves, and
implementation of its eagerly anticipated
150 Days of Giving initiative.
The innovative 150 Days of Giving
Initiative, slated to begin on the Banks
anniversary date of June 9, will consist
of a series of events, giveaways, and random acts of kindness compliments of
the Bank. Deborah Holman, Centurys VP
of Marketing explained, Century Savings
Bank has always considered our customers to be one of our greatest assets.
We feel extremely fortunate to have built

Twenty-seven Vineland High School Air Force JROTC Cadets recently visited
the New Jersey State House in Trenton as part of the citizenship portion of the
AFJROTC program. Throughout the trip, the cadets toured the Senate, General
Assembly, The Rotunda and Governors Office. They also discussed the path of
legislation and the history of the State House, including the fact that it is the second oldest continuously used State House in the United States.
On March 17, some 53 cadets conducted a three-hour cleanup of both the VHS
North and South campuses picking up trash and debris. One of the core values of
the Air Force is Service before Self, which ties into the AFJROTC commitment to
community service. Currently, the cadets have completed over 400 community
service hours. Another campus cleanup is scheduled for later this year.

Winning Essayists Recognized

Francis Virtucio, an eighth grade student at Rossi
School, wrote the winning essay on the subjects of
tolerance and understanding for the Vineland
Ministerium's 48th annual Brotherhood/Sisterhood
Service held recently at Beth Israel Synagogue.
Virtucio was one of 13 grade 8 students from
Vineland Public Schools honored at the inter-faith
service for the quality of their compositions, said
Ross Stanger, a district supervisor of instruction.
In his essay, Virtucio wrote, "the world as we
know it has taken on an ill-willed, negative atmosphere. Society has begun to break
under the shadows of misunderstandings of our diversity. Mistrust, pain, and
anger lurk amongst our communities,
with our lives and that of loved ones
held in their somber grasp."
"Too often do we respond to this
with acts of rage and defiance, with a
mindset that such measures will result
in the success of a great society," he
wrote. "However, these acts are merely
the negative effects of the misunderstandings and pain society bears. The source
of this pain lies right at the heart of our communitiesits people, or specifically
speaking, our diversity amongst one another. Rather than acting out of desperation, fear, and anguish, we must strive to be motivated by tolerance and understanding."
Virtucio read his entire essay to the inter-faith audience that attended the
service, which also featured a performance of "Ezequiel Saw the Wheel" by the
Vineland High School Select Choir. There were also selected readings from scripture and vocal interludes.
The essays were written as a component of the social studies curriculum, as
well as for this contest, said Stanger. "Recent developments in Paris, Ferguson,
and Brooklyn certainly provided enough unfortunate subject matter to discuss,"
said Stanger. The essays selected for judging by the Ministerium were selected
by teachers at the district's four middle schools.
All of the winners received a plaque from the district. The other students honored at the service included:
Julianna Roman, Wallace School
Josue Gomez, Wallace School
Arianna Nazario, Wallace School
Marisa Sauro, Wallace School
John Paredes, Wallace School Brandon Beyer, Rossi School
Olivia Nealis, Rossi School
Roberto Leon, Landis School
Gerardo Cepeda, Landis School Payton Church, Veterans Memorial
Alexander Caccese, Veterans Memorial School
The winner is congratulated by Stanger prior to Friday's service.

I News in Brief
LoBiondo Votes to Protect
South Jersey Farmers,
Business Owners
U.S. Congressman Frank A. LoBiondo
(NJ-02) voted in favor of H.R. 1105, the
Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015, which
would provide relief from the estate tax,
otherwise known as the death tax. The
death tax is levied on the value of a
deceased individuals assets before they are
passed to their heirs.
For too long, South Jersey business
owners and farmers have been subjected to
additional taxation on family holdings when
their loved ones have died. It is reprehensible that the federal government would seek
to capitalize on the death of a family member, often times erasing the hard work and
dedication of generations, said LoBiondo.
LoBiondo has previously supported legislation that would repeal the death tax,
including a bill in 2000 that had significant
bipartisan backing that was vetoed by thenPresident Clinton. In 2013, LoBiondo voted
for the fiscal cliff deal, which exempted
the first $5 million in an estate (indexed for
inflation) from the death tax. It also set the
taxable rate to 40 percent, down from a
high of 55 percent in prior years. President
Obama signed that legislation into law in
January 2013.
H.R 1105 would permanently repeal the
death tax and was approved by the full
House in a bipartisan 240 to 179 vote. It
now moves to the Senate for consideration.

Congratulations to Charles Chalky

Ottinger who was recently honored by the
Vineland Board of Education with his
name placed over the door in the foyer of
Vineland High School. He was recommended for an honor by the Vineland
High School Historical Committee in
recognition for the many years he served
in the Vineland school system starting as a
teacher and ultimately rising to the position of Superintendent of Schools. Seeing
his name should serve as a role model for
all students who enter the school.
Though Chalky spent most of his
career in public education, he still keeps a
special place in his heart for his alma
mater, Sacred Heart High School.
At a Gala Dinner/Dance held on June
14, 2013, the St. Joseph Society and the
Alumni Association of Sacred Heart High
School presented Chalky, Class of 1967,
with the Jean Pierre Medaille Award for
Exemplary service and dedication to
Sacred Heart High School. He and a committee of alumni worked heroically and
tirelessly to save Sacred Heart High School
from closing. He unselfishly stepped in
and served as interim principal until a permanent principal was appointed.

During that time, Chalky overcame
many obstacles and was beginning to turn
things around, which gave everyone hope
that the school would remain open.
Unfortunately, the school closed. But we
will always remain One Spirit..One
Heart.
I am sure all of the Sacred Heart High
School family joins me in extending congratulations to Chalky.
God Bless you, Chalky.

Dignity and Respect for

Elderly
Teaching pride, self-sufficency, and selfesteem has long been the goal of many a
good parent. So sad to see that as those
same parents age, the attempts to ensure
that these attributes that they strived to
mold into their childrens upbringing begin
to evaporate into thin air.
Verbal abuse is one of the most heartless and dehumanizing behaviors that
seems to become the norm in so many situations where senior citizens are being
left to the care of family members. This
can be seen on any given day in grocery
stores, malls, and restaurants across our
country, with the worst abuse being projected behind closed doors. The testimonies of many of these folks who fall
victim to this atrocious malign are heartbreaking. Honor thy Father and Mother,
one of Gods Ten Commandments!
Basic moral humanity is based on the
implementation of love, compassion and
loyalty. As parents so often weathered all
of the stages of their offspring, from infancy through adulthood, and persisted in
providing every emotional, financial and
spiritual need, to the best of their ability,
how ironic that as we age, our current
world allows for the life of the aging
parent to be cursed with a total demise
of dignity.
The grandchildren and the great
grandchildren of the current baby
boomers are being cheated out of childhood, they are being cheated out of innocence, they are learning violence and hate.
How then might we expect their Golden
Years to be predicted. Actions may speak
louder than words, however, the sting of
continued belittling, especially when you
become too feeble to be able to stand up
for yourself, is not only a sin against God,
it is a sin against mankind.
Think before you insult, criticize, bully,
and demoralize your aging parent, for in
time, this may well paint a very bleak picture of what is in store for you.

Kudos to Bon Jovi

From inspiration to installation
Only from EP Henry.
From time to time, the media has singled out a well-known celebrity (actor,
musician, or sports star) for donating
money to cancer research or some other
charitable cause.
But in New Jersey, we are blessed to
have a person that has been concerned
about the welfare of citizens that are still
recovering from the devastation of
Hurricane Sandy, which occurred in
October 2012.
Native New Jerseryan and rock star
Jon Bon Jovi, and his Jon Bon Jovi Soul
Foundation has partnered with the Food
Banks of Monmouth and Ocean counties,
The Peoples Pantry, and the David Tepper
Charitable Foundation to help these families. They plan to open the B.E.A.T. Center
(Bringing Everyone All Together), to help
people get food stamps, health care, and
meals for at-risk children and seniors in
Toms River later this year.
Jon Bon Jovi exemplifies a person that
truly believes that home is where the
heart is. It would be nice if other successful native New Jerseyans woud follow in
Bon Jovis footsteps.
Kudos go out to Jon Bon Jovi for his
compassion and love for New Jerseys citizens in a time of need.

Next Week: Vineland and the Movement

bloomers in 1851 as her standard dress, it

became a political statement. The style,
named after Amelia Bloomer, a temperance
newspaper editor who published directions on how to make the outfit, consisted
of a skirt over baggy trousers plus a jacket.
The skirt, instead of dragging on the floor
like the traditional garments of the times,
fell just below the knees.
Although her decision to dress this way
was based on reasons of health and comfort and was ultimately short-lived, it
resulted in many women following her
fashion statement. Controversy soon surrounded the style as it was perceived as a
threat to male authority. But evidence of
Stones influence could be seen at the 1868
Vineland convention, 13 years after she had
abandoned the outfit, when some women
appeared at the event dressed in bloomers.
Stone first worked with Anthony and
Stanton before the Civil War and the three
continued their association through the
establishment of the American Equal
Rights Association (AERA). Although they
shared a common concern for womens
suffrage and anti-slavery, Stones ideology
differed from her compatriots from the
start.
A wife and a mother, Stone held certain
views about marriage and divorce that
were antithetical to those of Anthony and
Stanton. She had been an advocate of
divorce before her own betrothal but eventually changed her views. According to
Lucy Stone: Speaking Out for Equality by
Andrea Moore Kerr, Stone had concluded,
We must not call [divorce reform]
womens rights for the simple reason that
it concerns men just as much.
At a May 1860 meeting, Stanton proposed 12 resolutions endorsing divorce. In
one of them, she declared that children
born in a loveless marriage were not of
God but from beneath, whence proceed
all manner of evil and uncleanness. Stone
was absent from the meeting, presumably
because of the disagreement over the
divorce issue, and Stanton did not include
Stones name in her speech while praising
the work of the other members.
As the rift continued to widen over the
course of the 1860s, Anthony, Stanton and
Stone all found their way to Vineland. I
2015 EP HENRY
he invitation was clear: All representatives who are opposed to

the existing aristocracy, and who
desire to establish a republican
form of government in New Jersey, based
upon the consent of the governed, are
respectfully invited to attend. This is
womans hour. The event was the first
convention of the New Jersey State
Womans Suffrage Association, the date
was Wednesday December 2, 1868, and the
location was Plum Street Hall, Vineland.
The convention served as a reflection of
the free-thinking movement that defined
Vinelands earliest decade. It was also a
noteworthy achievement that earned the
attention of the national press. Yet, like
much of history, it needs to be examined
carefully to understand the nuances that
shape its significance.
One of the key figures of the womens
suffrage movement was Susan B. Anthony
who, it was implied by the New York Times,
would appear at the convention. All the
leading advocates of women suffrage, the
newspaper reported on November 26, are
advertised to be present. While Anthony
did appear at Plum Street Hall in
September of that year, she and her friend
and collaborator Elizabeth Cady Stanton
were both conspicuously missing from the
proceedings of December 2.
A New York Times article from
December 4 explains that the absence of
Anthony and Stanton was apparently due
to coolness existing between them and
Lucy Stones organization. Stone, president of the New Jersey State Womans
Suffrage Association, was, along with
Anthony and Stanton, one of the leading
19th century womens rights activists. But
those who attended the 1868 Vineland convention would not have been aware that
what the New York Times described as
coolness was actually an internecine war
of ideology within the movement.
Stone had established herself early on as
a lecturer on womens rights and anti-slavery issues in an era when it was not common for females to engage in public speaking. According to online sources, she had
already challenged the system by becoming
the first woman to earn a college degree in
Massachusetts and to retain her maiden
name when she married.
When Stone adapted the fashion style of
Two notable suffragists were conspicuously absent

from Plum Street Hall on December 2, 1868.

Inspira Earns ACR Lung Cancer

Inspira Medical Center Vineland was
recently designated a Lung Cancer
Screening Center by the American College

Cancer Screening Center designation is a
voluntary program that recognizes facilities that have committed to practice safe,
effective diagnostic care for individuals at
the highest risk for lung cancer.
In order to receive this elite distinction, facilities must be accredited by the
ACR in computed tomography (CT) in the
chest module, as well as undergo a rigorous assessment of its lung cancer screening protocol and infrastructure. Also
required are procedures in place for follow-up patient care, such as counseling
and smoking cessation programs.
Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT
scans, and appropriate follow-up care, has
been proven to significantly reduce deaths
caused by lung cancer. Lung cancer is the
nations leading cancer killertaking the
lives of more people each year than breast,
colon and prostate cancers combined.

GREEN
Continued from cover
with Electric Power and Light, after

accepting its award as Small Utility CEO
of the Year, discussed how the old units
were retired to protect the environment
and were replaced with a well-designed,
well-hedged, multiyear energy supply
portfolio, reducing cost and allowing time
to install permanent fixes, yielding the
first rate decrease.
Next the commitment to solar generation resulted in those beneficial powerpurchasing agreements, producing the
second rate cut.
Third, a generation replacement program saw the old, inefficient steam units
replaced with efficient, natural gas-fired,
simple-cycle gas turbines. The first unit
went commercial in June 2012. leading to
the third rate decrease, and a second unit
is under construction and will come
online in June of this year.
National attention focused again on our
town recently when Rossi Honda became
the first car dealership in the nation to
achieve electric grid neutral status,
according to American Honda, as reported
in Automotive News and other trade
media. It simply means Rossi now makes
at least as much or more electricity annually as it uses, by way of its 900-panel system generating about 224,000 kW.
Owner Ron Rossi described the $1.2
million investment as a difficult decision
because of the debt involved, but its
expected to pay for itself within five to
seven years and generate about $2 million
in profit over its 25-year life cycle. (Tax
and business credit subsidies, while being
phased out, are a major factor in solar
investments being lucrative.)
The panels were designed in a canopy,
which shelters and illuminates the lots
new cars. They also feed an electric car
charging station and Rossi installed lowwatt LED lights throughout the property
to replace inefficient halide bulbs.
I felt it was an important statement to
make both environmentally and economically, Rossi said. Selling cars, the bottom
line has been getting skinnier because of
the Internet and regulations, we have to
get our efficiencies in line. Its pretty simple math and Im a math guy.
The dealership reduced its annual grid
electricity consumption by about 321,000
kilowatt-hours and its yearly carbon dioxide output by about 341,000 pounds.
Steven Center, vice president of American
Hondas Environmental Business Group,
told Automotive News, Even if you dont
believe CO2 is bad, you must believe that
saving money is a good thingeither way
you win.
Interestingly, in the years following the
first Earth Day in 1970, when Rossi finished engineering school and his family
owned two large ShopRite supermarkets,
he altered the climate design there to

reclaim heat from air conditioning and
refrigeration and installed timers and sensors to cut power use.
When VMEU won its SEPA award,
there were 25 commercial/industrial businesses here generating solar; now, there
are 39. Some of the early ones were Capital
Bank, Ramada Inn, Stanker & Galetto,
Merighis Savoy Inn, Dun-Rite, Russo
Farms, Laury Services, Delsea Drive-In,
and Ellison School. Lilliston Ford, Arbor
Associates, and St. Augustines Prep did a
few of the more recent conversions.
As for homes, the American Public
Power Association reported recently that
rooftop installations generating at least
some power have now passed 200,000.
Bloomberg News commented recently that
the idea that solar power may soon be
everywhere isnt nutty anymore. The
price of solar panels has plunged more
than 80 percent in the past five years and
is expected to keep falling. Global output
from photovoltaics, panels that convert
light directly into electricity, has increased
40 percent every year for the past decade.
Along with the price drop, a new business model is making it easier, if not less
expensive, for homeowners to switch to
solar. Three years ago, 29 Vineland residences produced some solar, now it is 88,
with 16 added in just the first two months of
this year, according to Gus Foster, VMEUs
assistant superintendent for distribution.
Foster explained the detailed engineering needed for the grid to accommodate
solar generation from individuals.
When more electricity is produced
than the home consumes, the meter literally runs backwards and the customer gets
a credit on his bill, he said.
Foster said VMEU wants systems to
meet a target of no more than 90 per cent
of a customers power needs.
The idea is they generate what is
required to run the home, not that they
sell electricity to us, he noted.
SolarCity is the firm driving that new
trend in our area by installing solar panels
for free in exchange for the customer paying the company each month for the
power generated.
Leon Keshishian, SolarCitys regional
vice president on the East Coast, said Weve
had a lot of success here in South Jersey
