Andrew from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2020. The generator was commissioned that June: 16 kW on natural gas, on a 150-amp service-entrance switch, sized against a 16 kW calculation for the 4,000 square foot house. Three refrigerators and a separate freezer make up most of that figure, alongside a sump pump, a washer, a gas dryer and a dishwasher. Four pieces of cold storage is the quiet argument for backup power – the cost of a long outage is not measured in inconvenience but in what has to be thrown away afterwards, and it lands whether anyone is home or not. The machine matches the calculation exactly rather than exceeding it, which is the decision that depends most on the survey being right.
