Replacing a roof with solar on it is a different job from replacing one without, and we do both. These are roofs we installed at New Jersey homes, with the system that went on, the area it covers and the town. Some are houses where the array came off, the roof went on and the array went back, which is a day nobody wants to repeat.

92 completed roofing projects across 64 New Jersey towns, including 18 with a review written by the customer.

Michael from East Brunswick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2022, and came back for a car charger three years later. The roof and the array were really one project carried out in two visits twelve days apart. The charger, in 2025, is the one with something to teach. 2,900 square feet of new roof: Finished on 25 July 2022: a single layer stripped to the sheathing and carted away rather than covered over, then 2,900 square feet of composition shingle in charcoal, warranted fifty years, with screened aluminum soffit vents at the intake.

16 kW Generac standby generator in Middletown, NJ

Standby Generator, Roofing and Soft Washing in Middletown, NJ | A Generator First, Two Jobs Seven Years Later

Ed from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2019 – a generator first, and then, seven years later, two jobs on the outside of the house eight weeks apart. A 16 kW Generac on a 150-amp service: Commissioned on 24 September 2019. The calculation asked for a minimum of 14 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV and a 16 kW Generac on natural gas went in, behind a 150-amp service-rated managed whole-house transfer switch. The 150 is worth pausing on, because most houses this size are on 200. A service-rated switch matched

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.

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

A new roof in May: Eric in Freehold has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2024. He booked the roof and the standby generator on the same day.

The survey done for the array is what turned the roof into the first job rather than a later one: it found the existing roof due for

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in East Brunswick, NJ | 30 Panels Removed and a New Roof

Christopher Bosworth has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2025, when the removal of an existing solar array was booked alongside a new roof. The roof was finished on 24 April 2025. 30 panels off, and taken away: The array was 6.75 kW across 30 panels — 225 watts apiece, which places it in an earlier generation of modules. It came off as a removal rather than a lift and reset: panels, mounting system, inverters, disconnects, the exterior conduit and wiring and the meters, all removed and taken away. The flashings and lag bolts stayed in
