New Jersey A4635 allows solar energy facilities on preserved farmland under certain conditions.

New Jersey A4635 amends existing law to authorize the construction, installation, and operation of solar energy generating facilities on preserved farmland. The facilities must comply with specific conditions, including ownership by the landowner or a solar developer under a lease agreement. The bill also mandates that the facilities do not interfere with agricultural production and must be approved by a committee. The energy generated can only be sold through net metering or other permitted agreements. The bill excludes the Pinelands area, which must adhere to separate regulations.
