16 kW Generac standby generator in Neptune, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Adela from Neptune, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2020. The generator was commissioned in April of 2021: a 16 kW Generac Guardian on natural gas, outdoors beside the meter, with a 100-amp service-entrance switch and a smart management module. The load calculation asked for 13 kW across the 2,300 square foot house, so the machine that went in sits comfortably above the requirement rather than at it. The management module is what makes whole-house coverage work on a 100-amp service – rather than dividing the house into circuits that get power and circuits that do not, it eases the heaviest draw for a moment when several things start at once. Annual maintenance, a seven-year extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage sit behind it.
Why Adela chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Neptune homeowners
Does a generator in Neptune have to sit twelve inches above the flood elevation?
That figure should not be treated as a universal rule without looking at the actual property. The required elevation can depend on the flood-zone designation, the municipal freeboard, the Design Flood Elevation, Coastal A or V Zone conditions, NJDEP requirements and the applicable building-code provisions. Each flood-zone installation is worked out individually.
How much room does a technician need around the machine?
Enough to satisfy the model-specific service clearances and to open the enclosure and remove service panels safely. Routine work reaches the engine, air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, battery, controller, fuel system and wiring compartments, so the space has to be real rather than nominal.
Does a generator keep the well running during an outage in Neptune?
Yes, when the well pump is included in the design. A private well pump is electric, so without power there is no running water at all -- a different order of problem from losing the lights. Homes on a well are among the clearest cases for standby power, and the pump belongs on the load list from the start.
