Gene from Monroe, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2019, and booked the roof and the array on the same day. The roof came first, finished on 17 March: a single layer stripped to the sheathing and hauled away, then 4,500 square feet of new composition shingle in oyster gray with a 50-year warranty. The array followed three weeks later – 43 panels making 14.41 kW into a SolarEdge inverter with optimizers, and an estimated 18,626 kilowatt hours in the first year. JCP&L interconnected it in May. Booking both together is the arithmetic that makes solar work: a 50-year roof beneath a 25-year array means the panels should never have to come off and go back on partway through their life.

Excellent company, excellent service! We've done a ton of research on solar, so we had lots of questions for every sales rep that stopped by our home. Unfortunately, many sales reps just followed a script and often did not know about the specifics of their equipment. We were willing to spend a little more money if we felt comfortable with the company or the sales rep, but none of the reps impressed us. Until we met Glen. He is one of the owners of the company--friendly and informative and knew all of the technical details that we wanted to know. Green Sun actually offered the best price, so it was a double win for us! Glen spent a lot of time going over things and tweaking our system until we were happy--we had researched many different panels used by different companies, so there were alot of questions on our side. He was very patient with us. After we signed the contract, things moved along quickly. Everything was very upfront and communicated well. Glen kept us constantly updated on when the panels would arrive, the workers, everything. Every contractor that showed up was very professional and neat. We paid after each portion was finished, as they had outlined in the beginning, so there was never any anxiety. The design of their system is very sleek--they move exhaust pipes so the panels line up nicely and the wires are hidden in our attic. It shows thoughtfulness and is extra work on their part to not have unsightly wires exposed to weather. We passed our inspection with flying colors and are very happy. It's been 6 months so far and we are still very happy with our system and with Green Sun's level of service to this day. Highly recommend!
