Paul from Hamilton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2025. Twenty-one REC 460-watt panels went on the roof that February – 9.66 kW in all, estimated at 10,479 kWh in the first year – on a Snap-N-Rack rail-free system, with 160 linear feet of critter guard closed around the array. At 460 watts a panel these are among the highest-rated modules we install, which is why twenty-one of them reach almost ten kilowatts.

Solar questions from Hamilton homeowners
Does solar work well in Hamilton?
Yes. New Jersey receives more than enough annual sunlight for residential photovoltaic systems to produce substantial electricity. Panels run on light rather than heat, so they keep producing through the winter. What varies from house to house is roof orientation, pitch, shading, system size, equipment and local weather.
Can panels cover the whole roof?
Not necessarily. Structural limits, plumbing vents, mechanical equipment and code-required access or setback areas all reduce the usable area. A design complies with the roof-access provisions rather than filling every available square foot.
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.
