New 18-acre Solar Garden In Hackettstown, NJ

Posted on November 16, 2009, 4:16 pm, by ken, under Uncategorized.

Mars, the notorious manufacturer of many chocolates such as M+M’s, recently opened up a different kind of garden in New Jersey. They unveiled NJ’s largest solar garden located in Hackettstown this weekend. The 28,000 panels, spread over 18 acres on what was once a vacant lot, can generate up to 2 megawatts of electricity. This is about 1/5 of the energy needed to power the Mars production plant which makes about 340 million M+M’s a year! “If you think about it, every fifth M&M eaten is produced by solar power,” said Thomas Marshall, the Hackettstown zoning board chairman. Watch this video to understand a little more why an unconventional garden like this one is so important.

    Hello!!! yovia.com is one of the most outstanding innovative websites of its kind. I take advantage of reading it every day. yovia.com rocks!

    Awesome opinion. I found your site

    I agree, Yovia should a payment processing like other websites. I have no idea that this is how their system works.

  • SUSAN S. VERGARA

    When the invitations had been read by the user, the point on the matter is that there will be an earning money online – can it be accumulated first and next the payment for paypal applications? The payment procedures is well noted but for the newcomers who are still making reports and submission – what will be the next procedures to enjoy?

  • SUSAN S. VERGARA

    Additional notes for the earning money online – Can it be deduct from the points that had been earned thru the months. In my part the amount for paypal is very hard to look for.  Thru these, may it may be modified..

    Does anyone know if there is a way to see the total amount we have earned so far, other than having to go through and add up what amounts have a check mark??

    I can’t figure it out yet either.

    I just joined and there is a lot of stuff missing from this site. It’s difficult to find answers for a lot of things. There is no total or amount of what we have earned to date? Do we have to go through and track every single offer we have claimed to invoice it? If the minimum payout is $50, that would be a lot of things to keep track of. I hope yovia is going to make this easier.

    ”
    Invoices must include a listing of individual links to posts and the date each post was completed on the invoice.”. Do you guys realize how LONG this would take to do????? They really need to find an easier way to do this!!!!

  • Tracy

    I don’t even know where to look to see what I have earned.  Very frustrated.

    Do we have to provide links to Facebook & Twitter opportunities…doesn’t seem to make sense…It would all be on advertisers walls, etc…
