Luke and Samantha from Red Bank, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since February of 2020. The array was finished that April: 32 Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO panels making 10.24 kW into a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter, with an optimizer on each panel and a 25-year warranty covering both, plus 112 feet of critter guard around the perimeter. The design estimates 13,549 kilowatt hours in the first year, and JCP&L interconnected the system a couple of weeks after the panels went up. Two layouts were drawn before the work started, a smaller one and this one, and the larger array won out – which is usually the right call, since the cost of adding panels later to an array already built and interconnected is far higher than including them at the outset. The existing roof was sound, so the job stayed with the array.

Solar questions from Red Bank homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Red Bank?
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.
Does a bigger array always produce more?
Generally yes when everything else is equal, but size alone does not decide annual production. A smaller unshaded south-facing array can outproduce a larger one that is shaded or poorly oriented. Azimuth, tilt, shading, inverter efficiency and module characteristics all bear on it.
Are panels designed for the wind near Red Bank?
Yes. The array and its mounting system have to be designed to resist the applicable wind loads, and coastal and exposed locations can carry different wind-design conditions from sheltered inland ones. It is one of the reasons the mounting system and its engineering are chosen for the site rather than by habit.
