Archive Systems Makes the Switch to Solar Power

    FAIRFIELD, NJ, August 11, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Archive Systems, a leading provider of document and record management services, today announced that one of the company's Franklin, NJ locations is now utilizing solar power. The solar panels are estimated to generate 300,000 kWh annually, enabling Archive Systems to go off of the electric power grid and produce clean energy.

The project, funded by Franklin Realty Group, LLC, enhances Archive Systems' Go Green Initiative. Since 2008, this initiative has saved over five million pounds of fiber. Archive Systems also recently selected a facility that was awarded the LEED Gold Certification when expanding its document and records management business into Portland, Oregon.

"As we continue our mission to change the way the world manages documents, we also have to focus on our environmental impact. We are very excited that we are able to build on the success of our Go Green Initiative by taking advantage of a solar energy system to reduce our carbon footprint," said Gordon Rapkin, CEO of Archive Systems.

According to Lou Koval, managing partner of Franklin Realty Group: "Energy efficiencies are always part of the planning that goes into all the properties we develop. With solar energy becoming a priority in New Jersey, we felt it was an investment we needed to make. Having a partner like Archive Systems made it an easy choice for us. We are now able to cover all of their energy needs in one of their facilities and hope to be able to add capacity to cover a second facility soon."

The solar energy system is 276kW, consisting of 1,314 solar modules. Franklin Realty contracted NJ Solar Power for the design and installation of the system. By relying on solar energy, the company is estimated to avoid creating over 7,000 tons of carbon dioxide, 35,000 pounds of nitrogen oxides, 57,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 27,000 pounds of mercury.
