PowerLutions Solar Completes Rooftop Solar Project at AvalonBay's Boonton Community

747-kW DC system generated approximately 821 MWh in its first year and is expected to avoid roughly 300 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually

BOONTON, N.J. - PowerLutions Solar today announced the completion of a multi-interconnection rooftop solar project at AvalonBay's community in Boonton, New Jersey. Developed and delivered in partnership with REV Energy Ventures and AvalonBay Communities, the project brings approximately 747 kW DC of on-site clean energy to the property.

Designed to offset a substantial share of common-area electricity use, the system produced approximately 821,000 kWh in its first year - roughly the annual electricity use of about 79 homes - and is expected to avoid roughly 300 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually over its operating life.

The Boonton installation includes 13 interconnections across multiple roofs and uses Talesun modules with Enphase microinverters to support module-level performance, safety and reliability. The system is paired with enterprise-grade monitoring and alerting, interconnected with JCP&L under New Jersey's net-metering framework, and positioned to participate in applicable state solar incentive programs.

"With AvalonBay and RevEnergy, we delivered a complex 13-interconnection, 747-kW multi-rooftop system," said Cy Yablonsky, vice president of PowerLutions Solar. "Through detailed load mapping and staged commissioning, we completed a resident-first solar upgrade and helped avoid a costly transformer upgrade."

"AvalonBay's sustainability platform combines smart development, efficient operations, and innovative strategies to reduce environmental impact across our growing portfolio. Our emissions targets, clean energy investments, and partnerships with companies like PowerLutions Solar reflect our commitment to delivering resilient, high-performing communities.” Said Gautami Palanki, Vice President of Sustainability at AvalonBay Communities, Inc. 

“This project reflects how strategic clean energy partnerships can help real estate owners advance their sustainability goals while delivering meaningful long-term energy savings,” said Jeff Bedard, Managing Partner, REV Energy Ventures. “The strong collaboration between our team, AvalonBay Communities and PowerLutions Solar positions the project to create lasting value for both the property and the surrounding community.”
