Colin from Manahawkin, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2026. The array was completed on 9 March: 10 panels making 4.4 kW with Enphase IQ8PLUS microinverters, and an estimated 5,399 kilowatt hours in the first year – enough to cover the whole of the household’s usage. Atlantic City Electric interconnected it at the end of the month. This one is leased through LightReach rather than bought. The rate is $0.150 per kilowatt hour with a 0.0% escalator, which means it is fixed for the full 25-year term – the same price in 2051 as in 2026. Atlantic City Electric’s rate at the time of installation worked out at roughly $0.283 per kilowatt hour, and that figure has been climbing at about 3% a year, so the projected saving in the first year is around $718 and the gap widens as the utility rate rises against a lease rate that does not. The roof was stripped and replaced before the panels went on.

Solar questions from Manahawkin homeowners
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.
What does solar offset mean?
It compares the array's estimated annual production with the home's expected annual consumption. A house using 12,000 kWh a year with a system expected to generate 11,400 kWh has a 95 percent offset. It is an annual energy comparison, not a promise that solar supplies 95 percent of the electricity in any given hour.
Which utility handles interconnection in Manahawkin?
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.
