Dewey from Millstone Township, NJ became a Green Sun Energy Services client in August of 2026. The array came off and went back on that month: 20 panels and their mounting system removed, then reinstalled once the roof beneath them had been replaced. The roofing was not ours – the household already had a roofer – and that is the arrangement this service exists for. A roofer cannot lawfully disconnect and refit a live solar array, so a household replacing a roof under panels needs a solar contractor either side of the roofing work, and the two trades have to be sequenced around each other rather than negotiated on the day. New flashing went on with the reinstallation, which is the part that matters: reusing flashing that has been weathered around bolts about to be pulled out of it would put a new roof under old seals.

Solar questions from Manahawkin homeowners
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.
Will solar void the roof warranty?
It depends on the roof manufacturer and the installation method, so the actual warranty should be read. A properly installed attachment system follows the mounting instructions, the roofing requirements, the flashing details and the code. Treat any blanket claim that solar always voids, or never affects, a roof warranty as a reason to check.
What happens to production in winter?
Panels keep producing, but shorter days normally mean lower monthly output than spring and summer. Cold modules actually operate efficiently; what reduces winter production is day length, sun angle, cloud, snow cover and shading. A properly designed system models production across the whole year rather than a good month.
