Joe from Keyport, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2023. The array was completed in March of 2024: 16 panels making 6.48 kW into a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter with optimizers, and an estimated 8,330 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in May. 107 feet of critter guard went around the perimeter, which matters more on a smaller array than people expect – squirrels and birds nest in the gap between panels and roof, and the damage they do to wiring is not visible from the ground until production drops. The existing roof was in good enough condition to take the array as it stood.
My new favorite solar company, management that i dealt with during the planning process was thorough responsive and had answers to all my many questions. The installation team was punctual and respectful their work quality was top tier couldn't be happier with my finished installation!
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Joe. Sixteen panels and a hundred and seven feet of critter guard at your home in Keyport is a small array done thoroughly, and the guard is the part most companies leave out until something is living under it. Punctual and respectful is what we ask of every crew. Favorite solar company is a title we will try to keep.

Solar questions from Keyport homeowners
What is the difference between a lease and a power purchase agreement?
Under a lease the customer generally pays an agreed periodic amount for the use of the system; under a power purchase agreement the customer generally pays for the electricity the system produces. Both normally involve third-party ownership, and terms vary considerably between providers.
Does the utility have to approve the system?
Yes. A grid-connected residential array must receive utility interconnection approval before it can legally operate in parallel with the distribution system. New Jersey's interconnection requirements and the utility's own procedures both govern it.
Does Keyport decide whether the installation is code-compliant?
The municipal construction department reviews and inspects the work under the Uniform Construction Code, but the substantive electrical requirements come from the statewide Electrical Subcode rather than from local preference. Municipalities may also administer zoning requirements where those apply.
