Rachel from Sewell, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2026. The array went up that July: 22 Qcells 430-watt panels making 9.46 kW, each with its own Enphase microinverter, so a single shaded panel cannot drag down the output of the rest. First-year production is estimated at 10,558 kWh. It is leased rather than owned, which puts the electricity at 15.5 cents per kWh against the 29.9 cents Atlantic City Electric was charging when the system was commissioned. The lease carries no annual escalator, so that rate holds for all 25 years while the utility price keeps moving; it has been rising around 3 percent a year. On that basis the projected saving averages about 222 dollars a month across the term.

Solar questions from Sewell homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Sewell 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 happens to production in winter?
Panels keep producing, but shorter days normally mean lower monthly output than spring and summer. Cold modules actually operate efficiently; what reduces winter production is day length, sun angle, cloud, snow cover and shading. A properly designed system models production across the whole year rather than a good month.
Will solar void the roof warranty?
It depends on the roof manufacturer and the installation method, so the actual warranty should be read. A properly installed attachment system follows the mounting instructions, the roofing requirements, the flashing details and the code. Treat any blanket claim that solar always voids, or never affects, a roof warranty as a reason to check.
