Andrea from Parsippany, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2025. The array was completed on 9 October: 24 panels making 10.32 kW, each with its own Enphase IQ8PLUS microinverter, and an estimated 9,398 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in December. Twenty-four panels producing over ten kilowatts works out to 430 watts each – the same panel count as a 2011 array on this site that made barely half as much, which is the clearest measure of how far the technology has moved. The existing roof was sound enough to take the array as it stood.

Solar questions from Parsippany homeowners
What does NEC Article 705 cover?
It governs electrical systems where power-production equipment such as solar runs in parallel with another source, normally the utility grid. It is what decides how the array is allowed to connect to the home's service or distribution equipment.
Which utility handles interconnection in Parsippany?
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.
What is a microinverter and why use one per panel?
A microinverter is a small inverter installed at or near an individual module, so each panel converts on its own channel. That gives module-level visibility and limits the effect one underperforming panel has on the others around it.
