Off-grid cost of solar-powered container terminals in ports

If They Can Put Solar Power Here, They Can Put It Anywhere

Facilities like the Port of Newark can cut their utility bills with on-site solar, and they can also earn community relations credits by sharing their excess capacity with the local grid.
