Solar questions from East Brunswick homeowners
Does solar work well in East Brunswick?
Yes. New Jersey receives more than enough annual sunlight for residential photovoltaic systems to produce substantial electricity. Panels run on light rather than heat, so they keep producing through the winter. What varies from house to house is roof orientation, pitch, shading, system size, equipment and local weather.
Which utility handles interconnection in East Brunswick?
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.
Which direction should the panels face?
South-facing roof planes generally give excellent annual production, but east and west can be very productive too. The design should compare the modelled annual production of each available plane rather than rejecting anything that is not due south.
