Solar Critter Guard and Solar Panel Installation in Red Bank, New Jersey by Green Sun Energy Services.
David from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2025. The array was completed in May: 34 panels making 15.64 kW, each with its own Enphase IQ8 microinverter, 216 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, and an estimated 19,270 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in June. At over fifteen kilowatts this is among the largest residential arrays on the site, and 216 feet of guard is what a roof line of that size costs – the gap between panels and roof is where squirrels and birds nest, and the wiring damage they do shows up as quietly falling production rather than as anything visible. The existing roof was sound enough to take the array as it stood.
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.

Solar questions from Red Bank homeowners
Are certificate payments guaranteed regardless of production?
No. Certificates depend on eligible measured or programme-recognized production, so a system that produces less creates fewer of them. The value attached to each one may be fixed; the number of them is not.
What does a 460-watt panel mean?
It is rated to produce up to about 460 watts under standardised laboratory conditions. Twenty-five of them make 11.5 kW DC; twenty-six make 11.96 kW. The panel count and the wattage should multiply out to the DC system size stated in the proposal -- if they do not, something has been rounded that should not have been.
How is the number of panels for a Red Bank 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.
