Local renewable energy enthusiast, Techstination Founder, and Ocean County resident, Fred Fishkin, who has been eagerly awaiting the farm's activation, shared his perspective on this significant achievement: "I'm excited about benefiting from solar and making a difference and with the Solstice program. As a long-time resident and journalist who has been covering consumer technology and innovation for many years, when I learned about the opportunity presented by Solstice and the new community solar farm, I asked a lot of questions… and when I was through I couldn't wait to become a part of it! This makes it so easy for homeowners and renters to take advantage of green, sustainable energy with no investment needed – and I'll be saving money on energy costs. It is a win all the way around."
