Kristen from Colts Neck, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. This is the smaller of two arrays on the property, and it went up the same December day as the one on the main house: 24 LG NeON 2 panels making 8.64 kW into a SolarEdge inverter with optimizers, estimated at 9,294 kilowatt hours in the first year, with 100 feet of critter guard around the perimeter. The existing roof was in good enough condition to build on. Sizing it separately from the main house is the part worth noting – a second building on the same property has its own roof area, its own orientation and its own demand, and an array scaled to the bigger house would have been wrong for this one in both directions. JCP&L interconnected the system in February of 2021.
Why Kristen 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 Colts Neck homeowners
Can New Jersey change its net-metering rules?
Yes. Energy statutes, Board of Public Utilities regulations and utility tariffs can all change. A proposal should describe the rules as they currently stand rather than guarantee that they will hold for decades.
Should the roof be replaced before the panels go on?
If the roof is near the end of its life, replacing it first is often the sensible order, because removing and reinstalling an array later adds labor and materials. The decision turns on roof age, shingle condition, any leaks, the decking, the remaining warranty and how long the solar system is expected to last.
How is the number of panels for a Colts Neck house decided?
It starts with the home's actual electricity use, then with how much usable roof or ground area there is. A proper design looks at twelve months of consumption, expected future use, roof orientation, shading, roof dimensions, code-required setbacks, module wattage and the limits the utility places on interconnection.
