Ruth from Monroe Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2016. She and John signed in March and the array was producing by mid June, 32 all-black Hanwha 260 watt panels on Enphase M215 microinverters, one behind each panel. At 8.32 kW it was designed for about 10,200 kWh a year. The all-black modules were a deliberate choice on a front-facing roof, and a decade later they still look like part of the house rather than something added to it. Monroe Township is in Middlesex County.
We interviewed 5 other copies before choosing Green Sun. Green Sun was by far (mathematically and contractually) the best offer for going solar and we've been happy with our decision every day since. The panels look fantastic, were installed efficiently and professionally with no 'eye sore' aspects we had observed of other companies out there and we’ve experienced excellent production (which we love to track daily on their software). Glen and his team are great to work with, I would highly recommend with no hesitation.

Ruth, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review after going through the process of comparing multiple companies. We're glad the installation met your expectations and that you're enjoying tracking your production daily. Glen and the team will be happy to hear this.

Solar questions from Monroe Township homeowners
Can the system be switched on before the utility approves it?
A grid-connected system should not be placed into normal parallel operation until the utility has issued the required authorisation. Running it beforehand can breach the interconnection agreement and the utility's requirements.
What is panel efficiency?
How effectively a module turns the sunlight striking its surface into electrical power. Higher efficiency fits more generating capacity into a limited area, which matters most on houses where the usable roof is the constraint rather than the budget.
How does residential solar work on a Monroe Township home?
The panels convert sunlight into direct-current electricity, and an inverter or microinverters convert that into alternating current the house can use. When the array produces more than the house is drawing, the surplus flows out through the utility meter under New Jersey's net-metering rules. When the house needs more than the array is making, the difference comes from the utility.
