Plankton Energy Powers ResinTech Headquarters in Camden with 972 kW Rooftop and Canopy Solar System

Camden, NJ — Plankton Energy has partnered with ResinTech Inc. to complete a 972-kilowatt (kW) hybrid rooftop and parking lot canopy solar system at the company’s headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. This large-scale renewable energy installation is designed to offset a significant share of the facility’s electricity consumption while reinforcing ResinTech’s long-standing commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.

Dual Rooftop and Canopy Infrastructure

The project integrates two forms of solar infrastructure:

• Rooftop arrays maximize the surface area of the main building, capturing direct sunlight for high-yield generation.

• Parking lot canopies expand overall system capacity while providing shaded, weather-protected parking for employees and visitors.

Together, these systems transform underutilized surfaces into value-add energy assets, aligning with Plankton Energy’s mission to design capital-efficient solar models that strengthen both operational performance and ESG outcomes.

Predictable Energy Savings Under a Behind-the-Meter Model

The 972 kW system is expected to produce approximately 1.2 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually, directly offsetting the facility’s utility usage. Over its 25-year lifespan, ResinTech is projected to achieve more than $2.5 million in electricity cost savings, creating a stable and predictable operating environment.

This behind-the-meter structure reduces exposure to volatile utility rates while enhancing the company’s net operating income (NOI). For an energy-intensive industrial facility, solar adoption provides both immediate relief and long-term protection against rising electricity costs.

ESG and Market Differentiation

In addition to its financial advantages, the ResinTech installation will prevent more than 9,640 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over its lifetime. This reduction is equivalent to removing nearly 2,100 gas-powered cars from the road for one year.

As ESG performance continues to shape investment and procurement decisions, ResinTech’s decision to host a nearly 1 MW solar system reinforces its reputation as a forward-looking, environmentally conscious manufacturer. This alignment with global sustainability goals strengthens brand equity while ensuring long-term operational resilience.

Incentives and Statewide Clean Energy Goals

The project was supported by New Jersey’s Solar Transition Incentive (TI) Program, which provides robust financial credits to accelerate adoption of commercial-scale solar projects. These incentives, combined with the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and accelerated depreciation (MACRS), ensured favorable project economics and maximized value for ResinTech.

By generating 1.2 million kWh annually, the system contributes directly to New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standards while reducing strain on the grid during peak demand hours. ResinTech’s headquarters is now part of the state’s distributed clean energy infrastructure, advancing both corporate and statewide sustainability objectives.

ResinTech’s Commitment to Innovation

Founded in 1986, ResinTech is a global leader in ion exchange resins, activated carbon, and water filtration systems for municipal, industrial, and residential applications. With sustainability embedded in its mission, the company continues to invest in solutions that improve both environmental outcomes and customer value.

By integrating rooftop and canopy solar into its Camden headquarters, ResinTech demonstrates how industrial leaders can align operational infrastructure with long-term sustainability strategy. The project positions the facility as a next-generation manufacturing site—one that balances high energy demand with responsible resource management.

Plankton Energy’s Turnkey Development Model

Plankton Energy managed the ResinTech project as a fully turnkey engagement, overseeing every phase of development:

• Feasibility analysis of rooftop and parking lot potential

• Custom financial modeling based on ResinTech’s load profile and incentive opportunities

• Permitting, engineering, and construction management

• Utility interconnection and regulatory compliance

• Ongoing operations and maintenance support

By eliminating the financial and technical barriers typically associated with large-scale solar, Plankton enabled ResinTech to achieve both financial resilience and ESG leadership without upfront costs.

“This project illustrates how industrial facilities can unlock hidden value in their infrastructure,” said a Plankton spokesperson. “By pairing rooftop arrays with canopy systems under a capital-efficient structure, ResinTech secured predictable financial returns while reinforcing its role as a sustainability leader.”
