David from Manchester, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2018. The array was completed that month: 28 panels making 8.68 kW into a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter with optimizers, and an estimated 9,970 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected the system in September. Manchester sits inland in Ocean County, well away from the salt air, which is the easier environment for an array to spend twenty-five years in – the panels and the racking see freeze and thaw and summer heat, but not the constant corrosion a shore roof deals with. Eight years on, the system is still producing.
Why David 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.
What makes Green Sun Energy Services different
- Solar: design and installation supervised by a NABCEP-certified professional (#PVA-111016-016148), with SolarEdge optimizers on every panel so each one reports its own output.

Solar questions from Manchester homeowners
Can the utility turn a solar system down?
Yes -- approval is not automatic. A system can need modification or further review because of its size, transformer limitations, the condition of the circuit, protection requirements, the service configuration or the grid's hosting capacity.
How does residential solar work on a Manchester home?
The panels convert sunlight into direct-current electricity, and an inverter or microinverters convert that into alternating current the house can use. When the array produces more than the house is drawing, the surplus flows out through the utility meter under New Jersey's net-metering rules. When the house needs more than the array is making, the difference comes from the utility.
Do unused credits carry from month to month?
Yes. Eligible excess kWh credits generally carry through the customer's annualised net-metering period, which is what allows strong spring and summer production to offset consumption in the darker months.
