Solar Critter Guard

Phillip from Ewing, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. Signed in August, commissioned in November: 41 Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO black-framed panels on a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter. All-black modules cost a little more and look considerably better from the street, which matters on a front-facing roof. The system is rated 13.94 kW and was designed for about 15,028 kilowatt-hours in its first year.

Holmdel is one of the towns we have worked in longest, and an array of

Don from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2018. The contract was signed in mid-August and the array was producing five weeks later in September, about as quick as permitting allows.

Tanja from Point Pleasant Beach, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025. Thirty-two JA Solar panels and a 14.08 kW array went onto the roof in a single day at the end of November, with an Enphase micro-inverter behind every panel.

Thirty-two panels, thirty-two inverters: The array is built from JA Solar JAM54D41 modules rated at 440 watts each, which is where the 14.08 kW comes from. They sit on a

Turner from Middletown, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2025. Nineteen Jinko 425-watt panels went up that August – 8.075 kW in all, estimated at 9,397 kWh in the first year – on an IronRidge rail system. The array also carries 180 linear feet of critter guard around its perimeter. That is the mesh that closes the gap between the panels and the roof, which is otherwise where squirrels and nesting birds get in and start on the wiring.
