PENNINGTON, N.J., Oct. 20, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTCBB:WWAT), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today announced the commissioning of the $295,301 WorldWater & Power solar system that was installed on the roof of the Voorhees Middle School in Voorhees Township, New Jersey. The photovoltaic array incorporates WorldWater's proprietary electronics that automatically control power to the school and manage net metering to the utility to earn renewable energy credits. The system will be monitored via a kiosk in the school library that provides science and environmental information to students, such as how much Carbon Dioxide the system saves from going into the atmosphere. Primary contractor for the project was Ray Angelini, Inc. (RAI) of Sewell, New Jersey.
Frank DeBerardinis, Assistant Superintendent of Business for the Voorhees Township Board of Education, commented on the finished project, "Our Board welcomes solar because of environmental impact and the cost savings. We have a cap on spending, so every penny we save on the non-instructional side we can put back in the classroom. Next summer we will do the second half of the Middle School roof with solar and expect to do all six of our buildings over the next several years."
Voorhees Township Public Schools is taking advantage of the generous rebates from New Jersey's Clean Energy Program that pay for approximately 50% of the solar equipment and installation. In addition, the school is earning energy credits currently valued at $0.22 per kilowatt-hour while showing the community that solar power is a clean, highly cost-effective alternative to skyrocketing energy costs.
