Marc from Somerville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2011. Twenty-seven Canadian Solar 235-watt panels went up that December on Zep Solar mounting, 6.35 kW estimated at 7,686 kWh in the first year, and the array was interconnected with PSE&G in May of 2012. Every panel has its own Enphase microinverter rather than the whole roof sharing one central inverter, which means shade falling on one panel costs that panel and not the string it sits in.
Why Marc 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 Enphase microinverters on every panel so each one reports its own output.

- Warranty: backed by a 5-year solar workmanship warranty.

Solar questions from Somerville homeowners
Can the utility require upgrades before approving a system?
Yes. Some interconnections require utility-system modifications -- transformer capacity, voltage, protection equipment, secondary conductors, service equipment or other distribution work. Who bears the cost depends on the applicable interconnection rules and the utility's determination.
What happens to a solar lease when the house is sold?
Most residential leases provide a process for transferring the agreement to a qualified buyer, though the requirements vary by provider. Before signing it is worth understanding how a purchaser qualifies, what the transfer involves, any fees, the buyout options, the timing, and what happens if a buyer declines to take it on.
Does Somerville decide whether the installation is code-compliant?
The municipal construction department reviews and inspects the work under the Uniform Construction Code, but the substantive electrical requirements come from the statewide Electrical Subcode rather than from local preference. Municipalities may also administer zoning requirements where those apply.
