Vijayakumar from Morganville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2025. The array was completed in November: 24 panels making 10.56 kW, each with its own Enphase IQ8 microinverter, 188 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, and an estimated 12,231 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it at the end of December. Twenty-four panels producing over ten kilowatts works out to 440 watts each – a modern panel does roughly what two of them managed a decade ago, which is why a system this size fits comfortably on an ordinary suburban roof. The existing roof was sound enough to take the array as it stood.

Solar questions from Morganville homeowners
How much does shade from mature Morganville trees affect production?
Shade can materially reduce production, particularly when it falls during the highest-production hours. Module-level electronics such as microinverters and optimizers reduce the effect of partial shading, but they cannot create sunlight where there is none. Significant shade should be modelled before any annual production figure is quoted.
What is an SREC-II?
A New Jersey solar renewable-energy certificate created for qualifying projects under the Successor Solar Incentive programme. A qualifying system earns one SREC-II for each megawatt-hour -- a thousand kilowatt-hours -- of eligible solar electricity it generates.
Are all mounting systems much the same?
No. They differ substantially in attachment method, waterproofing, rail design, materials, wind rating and installation requirements. Residential systems should use appropriately listed components installed to the manufacturer's instructions, and the residential code requires rooftop mounting and structural systems to satisfy the applicable structural and listing requirements.
