Ted from Morris Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2014. He and Andrea signed in early September and the generator was commissioned in the first week of December, a 22 kW Generac in an aluminium enclosure on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated switch. It covers 2,114 square feet with two refrigerators, a dishwasher, the laundry and a sump pump. A PowerBase plan has kept it serviced since. Morris Township is in Morris County.
Why Ted chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Morris Township homeowners
Can Morris Township require a generator to sit farther from the house than the manufacturer does?
Yes. Another applicable requirement can result in greater separation than the manufacturer's listed minimum -- equipment may be permitted eighteen inches from a qualifying wall while the local ordinance requires several feet from a property line. Both requirements have to be satisfied; neither cancels the other.
Can the platform height be read off the FEMA flood map?
Not necessarily. The map matters, but it may not carry every elevation the platform design needs. An Elevation Certificate, a surveyed ground elevation, the Base Flood Elevation, the Design Flood Elevation, the local freeboard and the municipal flood ordinance can all bear on it, so the height is calculated for the specific property.
Is every generator trench eighteen inches deep?
No. Eighteen inches is a common cover requirement for certain raceway installations, but it is not a universal generator-trench rule. The code table sets different minimum cover depending on the wiring method and where it runs.
