Doreen from Boonton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2012. The array was producing by the end of November, 36 all-black Canadian Solar 245 watt mono-crystalline panels on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep II mounting and a GE production meter. At 8.82 kW it was designed for about 8,926 kWh a year. All-black modules were a deliberate and less common choice in 2012. Boonton is in Morris County, at the northern reach of where we install.
Why Doreen 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.

Solar questions from Boonton homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Boonton house decided?
It starts with the home's actual electricity use, then with how much usable roof or ground area there is. A proper design looks at twelve months of consumption, expected future use, roof orientation, shading, roof dimensions, code-required setbacks, module wattage and the limits the utility places on interconnection.
Is there still an electric bill with solar?
Yes. The utility continues to provide the meter, the grid connection and the billing account, so even a house producing roughly as much as it consumes over a year can still see customer charges and other applicable charges.
Does a bigger array always produce more?
Generally yes when everything else is equal, but size alone does not decide annual production. A smaller unshaded south-facing array can outproduce a larger one that is shaded or poorly oriented. Azimuth, tilt, shading, inverter efficiency and module characteristics all bear on it.
