Solis Partners has completed the installation of a roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system for Bristol-Myers Squibb, a premier biopharmaceutical company based in New York City that discovers, develops and delivers innovative medicines for treating serious diseases and is a recognized leader in environmental stewardship.

The 777.14-kilowatt system consists of 3,172 panels that span the entirety of the 106,500-square-foot parking structure at the company's campus in Hopewell Township, New Jersey.

"It was really rewarding to partner with Bristol-Myers Squibb on this solar installation that will be owned and operated under a full service Power Purchase Agreement," said Jamie Hahn, co-founder and managing director of Solis Partners.

"Reducing the company's environmental footprint with onsite solar power generation provides a cost-effective path to sustainability. Bristol-Myers is once again demonstrating their commitment to environmental leadership."

In the first year of operation, the system is expected to produce approximately 965,000 kilowatt-hours of clean energy to the Bristol-Myers Squibb campus. Over the life of the system, this will equate to the reduction of more than 9,800 metric tons of CO2 gas emissions - roughly equivalent to the impact of removing 2,050 cars from the roads.
