Len from Cherry Hill, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2020. The generator was commissioned in September of 2021, feeding a GenReady load center – a panel that replaces the main service panel outright, so the transfer switch and the breakers are one unit – sized against a 16 kW calculation for the 2,600 square foot house. The quotation set out the alternative plainly: unless a 16-inch wide path were cut in the drywall in advance, the electrical conduit would have to run on the surface instead. Neither option is wrong, and the household is the only party who can weigh a patched wall against visible conduit – which is exactly why the choice belongs in the quotation rather than on installation day. An annual maintenance plan and an extended parts-and-labor warranty sit behind the machine.
Why Len chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Cherry Hill homeowners
What is Base Flood Elevation and why does it matter here?
Base Flood Elevation is the elevation associated with the base flood -- generally the flood with a one percent chance of being reached or exceeded in any year. For a generator it is often the starting point for working out how high the mechanical and electrical equipment has to be protected or raised.
How does the starting battery stay charged?
The system includes battery-charging provisions so the starting battery stays ready while the generator waits for an outage. A charging fault, a blown fuse, a wiring problem or simply a tired battery can stop a generator starting when it is needed, which is why battery condition is part of routine maintenance rather than an afterthought.
What happens if the manufacturer and Cherry Hill disagree?
The installation has to satisfy all applicable requirements. A manufacturer's listing cannot be ignored, and a manufacturer's minimum clearance does not cancel a municipal zoning requirement. Where requirements conflict or the interpretation is uncertain, the Authority Having Jurisdiction is consulted before the work goes in rather than after.
