Peter from Keansburg, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2025. The array was completed on 29 September: 35 panels making 14.88 kW, each with its own Enphase IQ8PLUS microinverter, and an estimated 15,404 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in December. A structural design was carried out as part of the permit process, which matters on Raritan Bay: a roof taking an array this size in a coastal wind zone has to be shown to carry the load rather than assumed to. At nearly fifteen kilowatts this is among the largest residential arrays on the site, and the existing roof was sound enough to take it as it stood.

Solar questions from Keansburg homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Keansburg 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.
What is the difference between a lease and a power purchase agreement?
Under a lease the customer generally pays an agreed periodic amount for the use of the system; under a power purchase agreement the customer generally pays for the electricity the system produces. Both normally involve third-party ownership, and terms vary considerably between providers.
What is a microinverter and why use one per panel?
A microinverter is a small inverter installed at or near an individual module, so each panel converts on its own channel. That gives module-level visibility and limits the effect one underperforming panel has on the others around it.
