Powering Progress: How Energyware Brought Solar Innovation to NJIT

The future of energy is clean, local, and efficient—and Energyware is leading that transformation. One of our latest milestones, the solar installation at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), is a shining example of how forward-thinking institutions are turning sustainability goals into measurable results.

At NJIT, Energyware designed and delivered a solar system that not only lowers operating costs but also helps the university meet its long-term carbon neutrality targets. The project underscores why so many organizations today are partnering with Energyware to take control of their energy future.

Project Overview

Energyware engineered and installed a 592 kW rooftop solar array on NJIT’s Wellness & Events Center, a state-of-the-art facility that hosts athletics, events, and student activities. The system is projected to generate over 700,000 kWh of clean power annually, offsetting a significant portion of the building’s energy demand.

The installation is expected to:

  • Deliver an estimated $3.2 million in energy savings over 30 years

  • Achieve a six-year payback period through smart design and incentive optimization

  • Offset more than 500 metric tons of CO₂ emissions each year

This project was part of NJIT’s broader roadmap to reach carbon neutrality by 2040, and Energyware’s turnkey expertise—from feasibility and design through construction and commissioning—made that vision a reality.

A Model for Institutional Leadership

Universities across the nation are setting an example for sustainable operations, and NJIT is no exception. With Energyware’s end-to-end project management, the university gained:

  • Financial predictability through reduced energy costs and access to state and federal incentives

  • Operational resilience by integrating renewable generation directly into campus infrastructure

  • Enhanced sustainability credentials aligned with student, faculty, and community values

This is not just a story about solar panels—it’s a case study in how institutions can make sustainability both financially and operationally strategic.
