Nick from Manahawkin, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2026. In July we fitted 228 feet of six-inch black PVC-coated critter guard around an existing solar array. Most solar owners never think about the gap beneath the panels until something moves into it: it is dry, shaded, warm from the array above and sheltered from anything that hunts, which makes it close to ideal for squirrels and nesting birds. Once they settle in the trouble is not only the mess, because the wiring under an array is exposed, easy to chew and awkward to reach. The guard closes the perimeter while leaving the airflow that keeps the panels working efficiently.
Why Nick 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
Are panels designed for the wind near Manahawkin?
Yes. The array and its mounting system have to be designed to resist the applicable wind loads, and coastal and exposed locations can carry different wind-design conditions from sheltered inland ones. It is one of the reasons the mounting system and its engineering are chosen for the site rather than by habit.
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.
What does the inverter do?
It converts the direct current the panels produce into alternating current the house and the grid can use. Residential systems generally use either a central inverter, with optimizers at the modules where applicable, or a microinverter at each module.
