WILDWOOD, NJ — (Marketwire) — 08/15/12 — Eoplly New Energy Technology Co., a designer and manufacturer of solar products, announced the completion of a 474kW roof-top PV system using Eoplly 285W Poly-Si Modules at the Wildwood Convention Center in Wildwood, NJ. This project was developed by Tioga Energy, a leading solar project developer based in San Francisco, and financed by Energy Finance Company, based in Manhattan Beach, CA.
