Emily from Manahawkin, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2020. The array was already up and working; what it needed was a barrier along its edge. We fitted 196 linear feet of black PVC coated critter guard around the perimeter in April of 2020, using the eight inch profile that suits rail mounted panels. On a barrier island the wildlife pressure is constant – gulls, squirrels and nesting birds all treat the shaded gap between panel and roof deck as sheltered ground, and wiring damage there is costly to put right and hard to see until production drops. The guard seals the opening while leaving the array ventilated and reachable for service.
Why Emily 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 Manahawkin homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Manahawkin?
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.
Are certificate payments guaranteed regardless of production?
No. Certificates depend on eligible measured or programme-recognized production, so a system that produces less creates fewer of them. The value attached to each one may be fixed; the number of them is not.
What should a Manahawkin homeowner look for in a solar company?
One that can design, permit, interconnect, install, commission, monitor and service the system, and explain the structure accurately. That means twelve months of real usage, a realistic production model, correct kW and kWh arithmetic, orientation and shading, structural capacity, the rooftop code requirements, the electrical articles for photovoltaic systems and grid interconnection, rapid shutdown, manufacturer installation instructions, utility interconnection and net metering, incentive registration, roof age and condition, penetration and waterproofing detail, the panel, inverter, mounting and workmanship warranties, monitoring, and service after the installation. The question worth asking is not who quoted least, but which company has designed the best long-term system for the house and will still be able to support it years from now.
