John and Lila from Farmingdale, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since January of 2013, which puts this among the oldest projects on the site. The array was completed that May: 21 panels making 5.1 kW, each with its own Enphase microinverter, and an estimated 6,696 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in June. The array is leased rather than owned. Thirteen years is a real test rather than a claim about one, and the microinverter design is the part that has aged best – each panel still converts on its own, so nothing that has happened to one panel in that time has ever taken the rest of the system down with it.
