Alfred from Jamesburg, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2017. The array was producing by the sixth of November, five weeks after signing: 31 LG 335-watt panels on Enphase microinverters, 10.385 kW rated. The design called for 1,119 kilowatt-hours a month, and 1,119 is what the record shows the system actually delivering — estimates are not usually that obliging, and it is the reason the design work matters as much as the hardware. Microinverters mean each panel works on its own, so shade on one corner of the roof costs that panel and nothing else. The modules carry a 25-year materials warranty and are warranted to still make 86 percent of their rated output in year 25. Jamesburg is in Middlesex County.

Solar questions from Jamesburg homeowners
What is hosting capacity, and can it affect a Jamesburg property?
Hosting capacity is how much distributed generation a part of the grid can take without affecting safety or reliability. A neighborhood with a lot of existing solar can face interconnection limits even where the individual property is ideal for it -- which is why the utility review is not a formality.
What is an SREC-II?
A New Jersey solar renewable-energy certificate created for qualifying projects under the Successor Solar Incentive programme. A qualifying system earns one SREC-II for each megawatt-hour -- a thousand kilowatt-hours -- of eligible solar electricity it generates.
Do unused credits carry from month to month?
Yes. Eligible excess kWh credits generally carry through the customer's annualised net-metering period, which is what allows strong spring and summer production to offset consumption in the darker months.
