Solar Critter Guard and Solar Panel Installation in Brick, New Jersey by Green Sun Energy Services.
Mike from Brick, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2025. The array was completed in April: 13 panels making 5.98 kW with Enphase IQ8X microinverters, 90 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, and an estimated 8,728 kilowatt hours in the first year. Thirteen panels producing nearly six kilowatts works out to well over 450 watts each, which is roughly double what a panel of the same physical size produced a decade ago. That is why a modest roof now supports a system that would have needed half as many panels again in 2015 – the constraint has moved from how much roof there is to how much electricity the household actually uses. JCP&L interconnected it in May.
Why Mike 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 Brick homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Brick?
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.
How much weight do panels add?
The exact load depends on the modules and the mounting system, but residential solar generally adds a relatively modest distributed dead load. Weight alone does not settle the structural question: wind uplift, attachment spacing, roof framing and snow loads matter as much.
Who receives the certificates on a purchased system?
A homeowner who owns a qualifying registered system can generally own the associated certificate rights, unless those rights have been assigned or sold under another agreement. The purchase contract and the programme registration documents should make that unambiguous.
