For millions of New Jersey residents, solar power is coming soon to their neighborhoods – even to the utility poles in their backyards.


In a move both bold and expensive, state regulators today approved a plan for Public Service Electric & Gas Co., the state’s largest utility, to install solar panels on 200,000 utility poles in its service territory.


The project will make New Jersey the nation’s second-most solar-fueled state, according to the state Board of Public Utilities, trailing only California.
