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.

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

Roofing Installation in Summit, NJ | 2,500 Square Feet Stripped to the Deck and Re-Laid

Sharon from Summit, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024. The old roof came off in a single layer that October – 2,500 square feet stripped back to the deck rather than shingled over – and went back on as a GAF Timberline Lifetime system. Tearing off instead of overlaying is the slower way to do it and the only way to see the deck: rot, split boards and tired flashing are all invisible under a second layer. There are 314 linear feet of rakes, eaves and valleys on this house, and those edges […]

Standby Generator Service, Solar and Roofing in Lincroft, NJ | Taken On at Year Eight, a New Roof and 32 Panels

Daniel from Lincroft, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2020, and the house has taken three trades since. The generator came to us at second hand: another company installed it in November of 2012, and we picked up its servicing eight years later. An 8 kW Generac taken on at year eight: An 8 kW Generac running on natural gas, behind a 35-amp indoor transfer switch in the basement on a 200-amp service. Taking a machine on at eight years is a different proposition from commissioning one. The installer is long out of the

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Manalapan, NJ | 22 Panels and Critter Guard

Wai Moy has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2024, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was finished on 15 October 2024 and the array nine days after it. 4,700 square feet, stripped to the deck: A single layer of old shingles came off down to the sheathing and left with the dumpster. What went back on is a GAF Timberline HDZ system in Pewter Gray carrying a 50-year warranty, over deck protection across the whole exposed sheathing, with aluminum drip edge along 442 feet of rakes,

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Hazlet, NJ | 7.3 kW Over One Winter

Robert Miller has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2017, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was finished that December and the array the following February. 2,400 square feet, with ice shield at the eaves: A single layer of old shingles came off to the sheathing and left with the dumpster. GAF deck protection went over the exposed sheathing and ice shield up from the gutter edges, then a GAF Timberline HDZ system with a 50-year warranty, aluminum drip edge along 233 feet of rakes and eaves,

Roofing Installation in Bayonne, NJ | Two Layers Off a Roof

Devi from Bayonne, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2026. The roof was finished on 14 April: two layers of old shingle stripped to the sheathing and hauled away, then 2,300 square feet of new composition shingle in charcoal with a 50-year warranty. Two layers coming off is the case the tear-off rule exists for – the second was hiding whatever the first had been covering, and the deck underneath is not visible until both are gone. Bayonne sits on the peninsula between Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull, about as far north

Solar, Roofing and EV Charger Installation in Kenilworth, NJ | 22 Panels and a Matching Charger

Daniel from Kenilworth, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2022, and came back for a car charger two years later. The roof and the array went in four days apart. The charger, when it came, was chosen to match what was already on the wall. 3,800 square feet of new roof: Finished on 12 September 2022: a single layer stripped to the sheathing and carted away rather than covered over, then 3,800 square feet of composition shingle in pewter gray, warranted fifty years, with continuous soffit vents at the intake. 22 panels and 8.91

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Westfield, NJ | 32 Panels on a Northwest Roof

Brian Lu has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2019, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was finished on 22 December 2019 and the array eight days later. Two layers off, 2,700 square feet on: This roof had been covered over once already, so two layers of old shingle came off rather than one: twice the tear-off, twice the disposal, and the only way anybody sees the deck a solar array is about to be fastened to. GAF deck protection went over the exposed sheathing with ice

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Morganville, NJ | 24 Panels

Patrick Lee has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2019, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was finished on 24 January 2020 and the array a fortnight later. 3,300 square feet, stripped to the deck: A single layer of old shingles came off down to the sheathing and left with the dumpster. GAF deck protection went over the exposed sheathing and ice shield up from the gutter edges, then a GAF Timberline HDZ system carrying a 50-year warranty, aluminum drip edge along 350 feet of rakes, eaves

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in North Haledon, NJ | A 4,900 Square Foot Roof and 32 Panels

Wayne Kuiken has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2022, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was signed on 27 July and finished on 4 August; the array followed in late October. 4,900 square feet, and 481 feet of edge: This is a large roof by any measure, and the tear-off was a single layer down to the sheathing, cleaned up and carted away with the dumpster included. GAF deck protection went over the exposed sheathing, then a GAF Timberline HDZ system in Pewter gray with a

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Paramus, NJ | A Chimney Down, a New Roof and 16 Panels

Sun Kim has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2022, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was finished on 6 October 2022 and the array six days later. A brick chimney taken down with the roof: The contract for this job carries an instruction most roofs do not: the roofer was to decommission the brick chimney. A chimney no longer in use is still a hole through the roof and a flashing detail that has to be maintained for as long as it stands, and it is

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Toms River, NJ | Two Layers Off and 36 Panels Removed

Carol Kern has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2022. The panels came off first, the roof followed, and both were finished that September. A complete removal, not a lift and reset: Thirty-six panels came off this roof, an 8.1 kW array that works out at 225 watts a panel — roughly half what a panel of the same size produces today. The contract leaves no room for interpretation about what happened to it: a complete solar removal, everything removed and taken away. Panels, mounting system, inverters, disconnects, the exterior conduit and wiring, and the meters.

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Millstone Township, NJ | 5,500 Square Feet of Roof and 36 Panels

Kimberly from Millstone Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2021, and booked the roof and the array on the same day. That order was the whole point: two contracts signed together and scheduled a week apart, so the panels went onto a brand new roofing system rather than an old one. 5,500 square feet of new roof: The old roof was a single layer of shingles, which is the straightforward case – it was stripped to the sheathing and carted away rather than roofed over, so the decking could be looked at before
