Kevin from Andover Borough, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2021. The array was completed on 30 June: 16 panels making 5.44 kW into a SolarEdge inverter with optimizers, and an estimated 6,175 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in July. Andover Borough is one of the smallest municipalities in the state and among the furthest north-west we work – a long way from the shore towns that make up most of this list, and a reminder that the sun does not stop at the county line. The existing roof was sound enough to take the array as it stood.
Why Kevin 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 Andover Borough homeowners
Do unused credits carry from month to month?
Yes. Eligible excess kWh credits generally carry through the customer's annualised net-metering period, which is what allows strong spring and summer production to offset consumption in the darker months.
Are all mounting systems much the same?
No. They differ substantially in attachment method, waterproofing, rail design, materials, wind rating and installation requirements. Residential systems should use appropriately listed components installed to the manufacturer's instructions, and the residential code requires rooftop mounting and structural systems to satisfy the applicable structural and listing requirements.
How much does shade from mature Andover Borough trees affect production?
Shade can materially reduce production, particularly when it falls during the highest-production hours. Module-level electronics such as microinverters and optimizers reduce the effect of partial shading, but they cannot create sunlight where there is none. Significant shade should be modelled before any annual production figure is quoted.
