28-panel 9.38 kW solar array in Little Egg Harbor, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Mary from Little Egg Harbor, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2019. The array was completed on 31 May: 28 panels making 9.38 kW into a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter with optimizers, 90 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, and an estimated 12,000 kilowatt hours in the first year. Atlantic City Electric interconnected it in August. A structural design was carried out as part of the permit process, which is worth doing properly on a barrier-island street: a roof taking an array of this size in a coastal wind zone has to be shown to carry the load rather than assumed to. The existing roof was sound enough to take the panels as it stood.
Great experience. Green Sun completed installation on schedule and had excellent communication throughout the entire process. An equipment issue did arise about a month after installation and they resolved it very quickly and had the system back up and running in no time. I highly recommend them. Meta DiPietro
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Mary. Equipment does occasionally fail, and how quickly it gets put right is the part worth judging a company on. The 28 panels making 9.38 kW at your home in Little Egg Harbor were back up promptly because the array is ours to look after rather than somebody else's problem. Thank you for the fair account of it.

Solar questions from Little Egg Harbor homeowners
How much does shade from mature Little Egg Harbor 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.
Does a third-party electricity supplier prevent going solar?
Not necessarily. New Jersey's net-metering rules contemplate customers taking supply through Basic Generation Service or a third-party supplier, though billing arrangements can differ. The supplier contract is worth reading, particularly on exported energy and the annual true-up.
What is the difference between a solar lease and a solar loan?
With a loan the homeowner generally buys and owns the system; with a lease a third party owns it and the homeowner pays for its use. Ownership is what decides incentives, certificate ownership, maintenance, warranties, how the system transfers on a house sale, insurance, residual value and any buyout rights.
