Jacqueline from Nutley, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2023. The array was completed in September: 8.4 kW with an estimated 9,451 kilowatt hours in the first year. Nutley sits in Essex County, well inland, on the older and more densely built side of the state – the roofs are smaller and closer together than in Monmouth or Ocean, and the survey work is correspondingly more about shading from adjacent buildings and mature street trees than about finding enough south-facing slope. An array that fits those constraints is designed around them rather than in spite of them.
Why Jacqueline 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 Nutley homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Nutley?
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.
What does NEC Article 705 cover?
It governs electrical systems where power-production equipment such as solar runs in parallel with another source, normally the utility grid. It is what decides how the array is allowed to connect to the home's service or distribution equipment.
How much weight do panels add?
The exact load depends on the modules and the mounting system, but residential solar generally adds a relatively modest distributed dead load. Weight alone does not settle the structural question: wind uplift, attachment spacing, roof framing and snow loads matter as much.
