22 kW Generac standby generator in Clark, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Nick from Clark, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2022. He signed in mid February and the generator was commissioned at the end of July, a 22 kW Generac on its own pad with a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch, a whole-house surge protective device and two management modules so the heavy loads take turns rather than compete. A Generac service contract has covered it since, with scheduled maintenance and monitoring. Clark is in Union County, at the northern end of where our generator crews work.
Great experience with Green Sun Energy. The install process was streamlined and worry free. The electric and plumbing contractors were professional, showed up on time, and cleaned up after they were done. Glen and team kept me well informed during the entire process and promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Nick. A generator install puts electricians and plumbers on site on the same day, and worry-free means neither trade left anything for you to sort out. The 22 kW Generac at your home in Clark was scheduled that way on purpose. Glen and the crews appreciate the note about the clean-up.
Why Nick chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Clark homeowners
Can a generator sit behind a solid privacy fence?
Potentially, if the fence stays outside every airflow, exhaust and servicing clearance and does not create a partially enclosed space where heat or exhaust can accumulate. Municipal fence and screening rules may apply as well.
Will it work if nobody is home?
Yes, which is one of the main advantages over a portable generator. It has to be properly installed, fuelled, maintained, free of active shutdown alarms and left in AUTO. That matters most where an outage would otherwise stop a sump pump, the heating, refrigeration or a well pump while the house is empty.
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Clark home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
