The Tinton Falls Solar Farm is a 20-megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant, being built in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The farm contains 85,000 ground-mounted solar panels, and at the time of its construction, it was one of the largest solar farms in the northeast United States.
The solar farm was developed by Rager Energy LLC and was acquired in 2011 as a fully approved project by Jiangsu Zongyi (a Chinese company) under a subsidiary named Zongyi Solar Energy (America). The purchase price of the raw land was reported to be $5.5 million US dollars (2012); upon completion Zongyi is expected to receive a 30% investment subsidy from the New Jersey state government.
The solar farm reached "fully operational" status in October 2012.
