Solar Panel Installation

Charlie from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2016. The array was commissioned that December. Thirty-six LG 300N1K-G4 panels in the all-black finish, 10.8 kW in total, on QuickMount flashed mounts with a SolarEdge inverter and per-panel optimizers. The design estimate is 12,695 kWh in the first year. Optimizers matter on a roof that is not uniformly clear: each panel reports and converts on its own, so a chimney shadow crossing one module in the afternoon takes down that module rather than the whole string it sits in.

David and Dana from Monroe Township, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since November of 2016. The array was commissioned in January of 2017. Thirty LG 300N1K-G4 panels in the all-black finish, 9 kW in total, on QuickMount mounting with a SolarEdge inverter and P320 optimizers. The design estimate is 10,611 kWh in the first year. The all-black module is chosen for how it reads from the street rather than for what it produces: black frame, black backsheet, and a roof that looks like one surface instead of a grid of silver rectangles.

Richard and Carol from Brick, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since December of 2016. The array was commissioned in April of 2017. Fifty-one Hyundai HIS-S280RG-BK panels, 14.28 kW in total, on QuickMount mounting with a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter. The design estimate is 15,938 kWh in the first year. Fifty-one panels puts this among the larger residential arrays on the books. An array of that size is rarely about the roof being big so much as about the house drawing enough to justify filling it, which is a question answered from the electricity record rather than from

Anthony from Manalapan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2016. The array was commissioned that December. Forty-five Hyundai HIS-S270BK panels, 12.15 kW in total, on QuickMount mounting with a SolarEdge inverter and P320 optimizers. The design estimate is 13,323 kWh in the first year. Forty-five modules at 270 watts each is a lot of panels for the output, and that is what a 2016 array looks like. Module wattage has risen a long way since, so a system of this size laid out later covers noticeably less roof for the same result.

Joe from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2016. The array was commissioned in January of 2017. Thirty-six Hyundai HIS-S280RG-BK panels, 10.08 kW in total, on QuickMount mounting with a SolarEdge inverter and P320 optimizers. The design estimate is 12,447 kWh in the first year. Thirty-six panels is a large residential array, and what makes one possible is uninterrupted roof: the panels have to sit as a continuous block on planes facing the same way, so the shape of the roof sets the ceiling on the system long before anything else does.

Marc from Somerville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2011. Twenty-seven Canadian Solar 235-watt panels went up that December on Zep Solar mounting, 6.35 kW estimated at 7,686 kWh in the first year, and the array was interconnected with PSE&G in May of 2012. Every panel has its own Enphase microinverter rather than the whole roof sharing one central inverter, which means shade falling on one panel costs that panel and not the string it sits in.
