Solar Upgrades

Melonie from Sussex, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2013. She and Robert had a revenue-grade production meter fitted to their solar system, an Itron Centron digital unit on a dedicated solar breaker, working by the middle of May. Sussex sits in the far northwest corner of the state, and it remains among the furthest we have travelled for a job of this size. Sussex is in Sussex County.

Weikang from Palisades Park, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2013, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar system at the property. It is an Itron Centron digital meter on a dedicated solar breaker in the main panel, measuring generation directly rather than estimating it from the inverter, which is what SREC reporting requires. Palisades Park is in Bergen County, at the northern edge of where we travel.

Michael from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar array at his house. It is an Itron Centron digital meter on its own solar breaker in the main panel. Small job, long consequence: from that point every SREC the system earns is calculated from what this meter records rather than from an inverter estimate. Holmdel is in Monmouth County.

Ron from Ewing, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2012, when we fitted revenue-grade production metering to the solar system on his house. The meter is an Itron Centron digital unit on a dedicated solar breaker, and it exists to record generation precisely rather than approximately, because SREC income depends on the number it reports. Ewing is in Mercer County, west of most of the work we do.

Chris from Wyckoff, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2012. He and Janice had a revenue-grade production meter fitted to their solar system, an Itron Centron digital unit on its own solar breaker in the main panel. It is a small job with a long tail: every SREC the array earns from that point on is calculated from what this meter records. Wyckoff is in Bergen County, at the northern end of where we travel.

Chris from Riverton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to his solar system. The unit is an Itron Centron digital meter wired to its own solar breaker, and the reason it matters is simple: SREC income is paid on measured generation, so the meter has to be accurate enough to be trusted rather than estimated. Riverton is in Burlington County, the southernmost town on our map.

The Unitarian Society in East Brunswick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2012, when we fitted revenue-grade production metering to the solar array at their Tices Lane building. For a congregation running solar, measured generation is not a technicality: it determines the SREC income the array returns to the organization each year. The meter is an Itron Centron unit on a dedicated solar breaker. East Brunswick is in Middlesex County.

Jim from East Brunswick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar system at his house. An Itron Centron digital meter sits on a dedicated solar breaker in the main panel and measures generation directly, which is what SREC reporting depends on and what an inverter estimate cannot deliver. East Brunswick is in Middlesex County, one of the towns we have worked in longest.

Kim from Wyckoff, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar array on the house and had it working by the middle of November. An Itron Centron digital meter on its own solar breaker measures what the array actually generates, which is what SREC reporting requires and what an inverter estimate cannot provide. Metered generation is what the SREC market pays against, so the meter is what turns an array that produces into an array that reports.

John from Edison, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar system at his house. It is an Itron Centron digital meter on a dedicated solar breaker in the main panel, and it was working by the middle of November. Metering of this grade is what allows generation to be reported for SREC purposes rather than estimated. Edison is in Middlesex County.

Harold from Princeton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar system on his house. The unit is an Itron Centron digital meter wired to a dedicated solar breaker in the main panel, and its job is to measure generation accurately enough to be trusted for SREC reporting rather than estimated from an inverter reading. It was in and working within a month. Princeton is in Mercer County.
