Sean from Port Monmouth, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2019. The solar array on the house was installed by another company, and that January we fitted black PVC-coated critter guard around it — eight-inch mesh, sized to close the gap between the panels and the roof, and the work was finished eight days after the contract was signed. That gap is the whole reason the job exists: dry, shaded and sheltered from weather and predators, it is close to ideal for squirrels and nesting birds, which chew wiring and foul the roof surface underneath. Fitting guard to an array already up costs a fraction of clearing out a nest and repairing what was damaged, and Port Monmouth sits on the Bayshore where the birds are not in short supply.
Why Sean chose Green Sun Energy Services
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.

Solar questions from Port Monmouth homeowners
Does solar work well in Port Monmouth?
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 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.
Does solar equipment have to be listed?
Yes. Modules, inverters and mounting systems are each subject to product-listing requirements under the applicable standards, and the equipment has to be installed according to that listing and its instructions rather than to general practice.
