Esther from Port Monmouth, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2025. The array was completed in July: 12 panels making 5.52 kW, each with its own Enphase IQ8X microinverter carrying a 25-year warranty, and an estimated 7,056 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected the system in August. Eighty feet of critter guard went on with it, which this close to the bay is not a refinement – the sheltered gap under an array is exactly what gulls and squirrels look for along the shoreline. The existing roof was sound enough to build on, so the work stayed with the array.
Why Esther chose Green Sun Energy Services
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.

Solar questions from Port Monmouth homeowners
Who maintains a leased solar system?
The third-party owner generally takes on significant equipment-maintenance responsibility under a lease or power purchase agreement, but the actual obligations come from the contract. Worth checking specifically: inverter failure, panel failure, monitoring, labor, roof removal, animal damage, storm damage and production shortfalls.
Do solar panels lose output as they age?
Modules normally lose a small amount of maximum output over time. Manufacturers publish a long-term performance warranty setting out how much of the rated output should remain after a given number of years. It is worth comparing the actual warranty curve rather than the headline number of years.
Which utility handles interconnection in Port Monmouth?
The electric distribution company that serves the property. In New Jersey that is Jersey Central Power & Light, PSE&G, Atlantic City Electric or Rockland Electric depending on the address, and municipal electric systems can have their own requirements.
