Before the district can move forward, a structural review is required to ensure all of the buildings can handle the added weight of the solar panels and ballasts.

Schools targeted for the solar project include: West Milford High School, Macopin Middle School, Marshall Hill Elementary and Westbrook Elementary, NorthJersey.com said.
