Solar Panel Installation

No two roofs are the same. The pitch, the shade from the tree next door, the direction the house faces and what the family actually uses through the year all change what belongs up there. These are solar arrays we designed and installed across New Jersey, and each one names the panels, the inverter and the size of the system along with the town it is in. Real jobs on real houses, photographed where we had the chance.

319 completed solar projects across 139 New Jersey towns, including 73 with a review written by the customer.

27-panel 8.51 kW solar array in Asbury Park, NJ

Solar, a Generator and Soft Washing in Asbury Park

Dimitra from Asbury Park, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2016, and has come back twice since. The generator and the array were booked on the same day and finished within a week of each other. The soft wash came nine years later. A 16 kW Generac in a steel enclosure: Commissioned on 5 November 2016. The load calculation asked for a minimum of 12 kW under NEC Article 220 Part IV and a 16 kW machine went in, on a 200-amp managed whole-house transfer switch. The house is 2,400 square feet with a […]

36-panel 12.24 kW solar array in East Windsor, NJ

A New Roof and 36 Panels in East Windsor, NJ

Scott Kahrs has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2020, when the roof and the solar array were bought on the same day. The roof was finished on 19 September 2020 and the array a month later. 3,500 square feet, stripped to the deck: A single layer of old shingles came off to the sheathing and left with the dumpster. Deck protection went over the exposed sheathing, then a GAF Timberline HDZ system in Charcoal carrying a 50-year warranty, aluminum drip edge along 368 feet of rakes, eaves and valleys, and a ridge vent along the

28-panel 8.54 kW solar array in Aberdeen, NJ

Solar Panel Installation in Aberdeen, NJ | 28 Panels Producing Since 2015

Leonid from Aberdeen, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2015. The array was completed that December: 28 panels making 8.54 kW, each with its own Enphase microinverter, and an estimated 11,304 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in January. Eleven years is long enough for the design decision to have been tested rather than argued: with a microinverter under every panel, a shaded or failing module affects only itself, and the array has degraded one panel at a time rather than as a single system. The roof was stripped and replaced

27-panel 7.02 kW solar array in Howell, NJ

Solar Panel Installation in Howell, NJ | 27 Panels Producing Since 2016

Jeffrey from Howell, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2015. The array was completed in February of 2016: 27 panels making 7.02 kW, each with its own Enphase microinverter, and an estimated 9,077 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it that May. Ten years is long enough to say something useful about the design rather than the promise: with a microinverter under every panel, nothing that has happened to one panel in a decade has taken the rest of the array down with it, and a system built this way degrades one

16-panel 6.48 kW solar array in Keyport, NJ

Solar Panel Installation in Keyport, NJ | 16 Panels and 107 Feet of Critter Guard

Joe from Keyport, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2023. The array was completed in March of 2024: 16 panels making 6.48 kW into a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter with optimizers, and an estimated 8,330 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in May. 107 feet of critter guard went around the perimeter, which matters more on a smaller array than people expect – squirrels and birds nest in the gap between panels and roof, and the damage they do to wiring is not visible from the ground until production drops. The

29-panel 11.6 kW solar array in Holmdel, NJ

Standby Generator Installation and Solar Panel Installation in Holmdel, NJ | That Steps Aside

Shince in Holmdel has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2022. The standby generator was commissioned on 16 March 2023 and the solar array five days later. A 22 kW machine, three modules: The house is 3,000 square feet on a 200-amp service and its electrical calculation comes to 25,456 watts. Air conditioning is 6,000 of that. An electric vehicle charger accounts for a large part of the rest, and it is the load that makes this installation worth describing. The machine is a Generac Guardian 22 kW, model 7042-2, delivering 19.5 kW on natural gas,

21-panel 5.15 kW solar array in Farmingdale, NJ

Solar Panel Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | A Leased 5.1 kW Array Running Since 2013

John and Lila from Farmingdale, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since January of 2013, which puts this among the oldest projects on the site. The array was completed that May: 21 panels making 5.1 kW, each with its own Enphase microinverter, and an estimated 6,696 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in June. The array is leased rather than owned. Thirteen years is a real test rather than a claim about one, and the microinverter design is the part that has aged best – each panel still converts on its own, so nothing that

25-panel 7.5 kW solar array in Manasquan, NJ

Solar, Roofing and Standby Generator Installation in Manasquan, NJ | Three Projects Inside Six Weeks

Robert and Sharon from Manasquan, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since October of 2014, and took on three projects inside six weeks the following spring – roof, generator and array, in that order. A new roof in oyster gray: Finished on 18 March 2015: a single layer of shingles stripped to the sheathing and carted away rather than roofed over, then new composition shingle in oyster gray, warranted fifty years. 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

32-panel 9.6 kW solar array in Fairfield, NJ

Solar Panel Installation in Fairfield, NJ | 32 Panels and 9.6 kW

Lazaros & Stephanie from Fairfield, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since November of 2016. The array was completed in January of 2017: 32 panels making 9.6 kW into a SolarEdge inverter with P320 optimizers, both carrying 25-year warranties, and an estimated 12,070 kilowatt hours in the first year. PSEG interconnected the system that March. The existing roof was sound enough to build on, so the work stayed with the array. Nine years on, the optimizer layout is the part that has aged best: each panel still reports and converts on its own, which means a decade of

29-panel 6.82 kW solar array in Manahawkin, NJ

Solar Panel Installation in Manahawkin, NJ | A Leased 6.8 kW Array, Running Since 2012

Chuck and Julie from Manahawkin, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since April of 2012, which makes this the oldest project on the site. The array was finished that September and interconnected by Atlantic City Electric in November: 29 panels making 6.8 kW, each with its own Enphase microinverter, and an estimated 8,859 kilowatt hours in the first year. The array is leased rather than owned. Fourteen years is long enough to be a real test of a design rather than a claim about one – the microinverters chosen in 2012 are still converting panel by panel, and

28-panel 6.58 kW solar array in Farmingdale, NJ

Solar Panel and Standby Generator Installation in Farmingdale, NJ | 6.58 kW Array and a 17 kW Generac

Linda in Farmingdale has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2011, which puts this account in the company’s first year of trading. The array was commissioned that October and the standby generator followed in the spring of 2013. 28 panels, commissioned October 2011: Twenty-eight panels, 6.58 kW in total — 235 watts apiece, which is what a module produced in 2011 — with an Enphase M215 microinverter behind each one. Estimated first-year production is 7,976 kWh and the utility is JCP&L. The mounting is a Zep system, which is worth a note because it is no

36-panel 10.8 kW solar array in Marlboro, NJ

Solar Panel Installation and Roofing Installation in Marlboro, NJ | 36 Panels Since 2017, and a New Roof Booked

Alex Belenkiy has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2017, when we installed a 36-panel array. In August of 2026 he came back for a new roof, with the same array to be taken down and reinstalled on new mounting once the shingles are on. 36 panels and 10.8 kW, in 2017: Thirty-six Hanwha Q.PEAK panels at 300 watts each came to 10.8 kW on rail-free mounting, finished on 21 October 2017, each with its own Enphase IQ6 microinverter rather than a shared central inverter. JCP&L is the utility. An array facing due east: The panels
