James from Garwood, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2011, which puts him among the earliest systems we ever commissioned. He signed that September and the array was producing before Christmas, 7.05 kW on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep mounting and revenue-grade ANSI metering. The design estimate was 6,601 kWh a year. Garwood is in Union County, and fifteen years on the array is still doing the job it was sized for.
Why James chose Green Sun Energy Services
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.
What makes Green Sun Energy Services different
- Solar: design and installation supervised by a NABCEP-certified professional (#PVA-111016-016148), with Enphase microinverters on every panel so each one reports its own output. On this home: a 7.05 kW solar array of 30 Canadian Solar CS6P-235PX panels, an EnPhase M215-60-2LL-S22/S23 Micro-Single inverter and the Zep Solar mounting system.
- Warranty: backed by a 5-year solar workmanship warranty.
- Local: locally owned and operated in New Jersey since 2010, NJHIC licensed (#13VH06229000), with 20 completed solar projects across Union County and 363 solar projects throughout New Jersey.

Solar questions from Garwood homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Garwood?
The electric distribution company that serves the property. In New Jersey that is Jersey Central Power & Light, PSE&G, Atlantic City Electric or Rockland Electric depending on the address, and municipal electric systems can have their own requirements.
Can panels be added to the array later?
Yes, but an expansion is more than bolting on modules. It can affect the utility interconnection, net-metering eligibility, inverter capacity, the electrical calculations, permits, incentive eligibility and monitoring. Incentive rules matter particularly when panels are added to a system already receiving a generation incentive.
What is an SREC-II?
A New Jersey solar renewable-energy certificate created for qualifying projects under the Successor Solar Incentive programme. A qualifying system earns one SREC-II for each megawatt-hour -- a thousand kilowatt-hours -- of eligible solar electricity it generates.
