Putting the lights up is the easy part. Keeping them lit through December, getting them down in January and finding somewhere to store them until next year is why most people stop doing it themselves. These are New Jersey homes we lit, with what went up and where. A short list, and a seasonal one — it grows every winter.

Solar, Generator and EV Charger in Middletown, NJ | Our Owner Is Client Number One

Glen from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2011, which makes him the first name in this portfolio. He owns the company, and his own roof was the first we ever worked on. 28 panels and 6.58 kW, from 2011: Live on 6 July 2011: 28 Canadian Solar 235-watt modules on Enphase dual microinverters, rail-free mounting, estimated at 6,340 kilowatt hours in the first year. It is worth saying what those numbers meant at the time. A 235-watt panel produces roughly half what a current module of the same size does, and the […]

Roof, Solar, Generator and Seasonal Services in Middletown, NJ | Six Projects Since 2019

Judith from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2019. Three contracts were signed on the same day that August and three crews came through before the year was out; she has been back twice since, for work of a completely different kind. A new roof, two layers off, and 192 feet of gutters: Two layers came off down to the plywood rather than a third going on over them – the right call whenever solar is following, because nobody wants to find soft decking after the panels are already up. Two thousand five

Generator, Solar, EV Charger and Holiday Lighting in Tinton Falls, NJ | Four Trades, Client Since 2020

Elizabeth from Tinton Falls, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020.

A 16 kW Generac on a 200-amp managed switch: The load calculation asked for a minimum of 15 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV and a 16 kW natural-gas Generac went in, running by January.

The house is 2,700 square feet on

Generator Service and Holiday Lighting in Middletown, NJ | Client Since 2020

Matt from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2020, when the servicing of a generator installed by another company came to us. Four years later he and Maria asked for something with no engineering in it at all. A 20 kW Generac taken on at seven years: The machine is a 20 kW Generac from the 5800 series, commissioned in February of 2013 by another company, running on natural gas behind a managed whole-house transfer switch.

Christmas Light Installation in Manalapan, NJ

Holiday Light Installation in Manalapan, NJ | 214 Warm White C7 Bulbs Around the Windows

Tina from Manalapan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2024. The job was 214 C7 bulbs in warm white at 3000K, run around the windows rather than along the roofline, and it was finished in December of 2024. This was the first season, so the runs were measured and cut for these openings. Windows are the harder outline to light well: a roofline is one long straight run, while windows are a series of short ones that only look right if each is squared to its own frame.

Christmas Light Installation and Standby Generator Service in Middletown, NJ

Standby Generator Service and Holiday Lighting in Middletown, NJ | A 2012 Generac and 210 C9 Bulbs

Brian from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2020. Two very different jobs on one house, five years apart. The generator: A Generac 5887 rated 20 kW on propane and 18 kW on natural gas, running on natural gas, feeding a 90-amp transfer switch. It was installed in December of 2012 by another company. Green Sun took it on in March of 2020 and has serviced it every year since – April in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, March of 2025 and February of 2026. Seven consecutive visits on a machine now

Soft Washing and Christmas Light Installation in Holmdel, NJ | 10,659 Square Feet Washed and 1,337 C9 Bulbs

Tom and Karen from Holmdel, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since May of 2025. Two jobs at opposite ends of one year: the house was washed in June and lit in November. 10,659 square feet soft washed: Soft washing is not power washing. The surfaces are treated with a sodium hypochlorite and surfactant solution that kills the organic growth – the dark streaking that spreads across a shaded roof slope, the green film that creeps up siding on the north side of a house – and then rinsed at low pressure. Nothing is blasted. On a roof

Christmas Light Installation in East Brunswick, NJ | 114 Warm White C9 Bulbs Along the Roofline

Joe from East Brunswick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2024. The roofline carries 114 commercial-grade C9 bulbs in warm white – a 2700K tone closer to candlelight than the blue-white of a cheaper LED – supplied, measured and installed by Green Sun in the week after the job was booked. C9 is the larger traditional bulb, shatterproof here, and at that spacing the run reads as a continuous line from the street rather than a row of dots.

Generator and Holiday Lighting in Lincroft, NJ | Ten Years Between Visits

Anna from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2014, and ten years passed between the two jobs on this page. A 16 kW Generac in a steel enclosure: Commissioned on 7 October 2014. A 16 kW Generac on natural gas in a steel enclosure on its own pad, behind a 200-amp service-rated managed whole-house transfer switch. The house is 2,700 square feet, and the load survey has two entries that matter more than the square footage does: a double electric oven and two sump pumps. They pull in opposite directions, which is what

Christmas Light Installation in Lincroft, NJ | 160 Bulbs, Installed in November of 2024

Millie from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2024. The display was booked on 14 November and installed nine days later, ahead of the season. It is a 160-bulb installation. Holiday lighting is one of the few jobs where almost all of the work is in the parts nobody sees: the ladder time, the connections, and the fact that somebody else is answerable if a run goes dark in December. The bulb count is what sets the look, being enough to read continuously from the street rather than in patches.
