TETERBORO, N.J., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Party Rental Ltd., a leading full service event rental company, announced today the completion of a 200-kilowatt (kW) solar energy system atop its laundry facility located in Teterboro, New Jersey. The state-of-the-art solar energy system will generate nearly a third (31.4%) of the facility's annual electricity requirements. Party Rental Ltd. partnered on this project with EnterSolar, a New York headquartered provider of solar solutions to commercial enterprises.
Party Rental Ltd. has a long commitment to sustainable practices. Their efforts include reducing waste and continual investments in technology to increase operational efficiency and profitability, all while keeping true to a corporate responsibility initiative with respect to natural resource conservation. Party Rental Ltd. sources energy efficient lighting and laundry machines, and the solar initiative is the latest in a long series of ways to implement greater renewable initiatives.
The solar energy system, financed through the PSE&G Solar Loan Program, will not only yield significant financial savings for Party Rental, but notable environmental benefits as well. The energy saved by generating onsite clean electricity will produce annual environmental benefits equivalent to saving nearly 18,500 gallons of gas a year, a significant offset to Party Rental's truck fleet.
"We are always looking for ways to make Party Rental Ltd. even more environmentally responsible," said Alan Gottlich, CFO, Party Rental Ltd. "It is a commitment we make to our employees, our clients and the communities we serve. Solar energy is a natural extension of that commitment."
"Party Rental Ltd. is an East Coast icon, with its highly recognizable pink hippo trucks," said Paul Ahern, president, EnterSolar. "We are pleased to help Party Rental Ltd. add to its longstanding commitment to sustainability."
