Environmentalists and solar energy advocates are no doubt joining the tens of thousands of New York Jets fans on NFL Sundays, chanting in unison: “J!-E!-T!-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!”

That’s because this year, the Jets (and Giants) moved into their new home New Meadowlands Stadium, which was built using 40,000 tons of recycled steel and features solar panels and energy-efficient light bulbs. But that wasn’t enough for the Jets, who have a plan in place to make the organization as green as the classic jerseys the team sports on the field.

Part of that plan includes a recently installed solar electric system that sits atop the team’s training facility in Florham Park, New Jersey. The 3,000-panel system is expected to produce 750,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of solar energy annually — enough juice to power nearly 50 average American homes for a full year. The system will also save the Jets tens of thousands of dollars every year in electricity costs and slash CO2 emissions by 540 metric tons annually.

The panels were made by China-based Yingli Solar and the system will be owned and operated by Syncarpha Capital. The Jets have already signed a long-term power purchasing agreement (PPA) through which the team will purchase all of the energy produced by the system.
