16 kW Generac standby generator in Morganville, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
John from Morganville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2019. He signed in the first week of June and the generator was running by the first of August, eight weeks start to finish, a 16 kW Generac on its own pad behind a 200-amp service-rated transfer switch. Two management modules share the load between the largest draws, which is how a 16 kW unit covers a house that would otherwise need a bigger machine. Morganville is in Monmouth County.
Glen is straight forward and honest he sized my generator for what I needed and didn’t try to oversell me like everyone else did. His install team of plumbers and electricians did a really neat and professional job on the entire install and everything went smoothly. He also set me up with financing and walked me through everything I would definitely recommend greensun for all of your generator and solar needs.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, John. Sizing for what a house needs rather than for the largest machine available is the whole discipline: the 16 kW Generac at your home in Morganville uses two management modules to cover the loads that would otherwise have pushed the rating up. Neat work from the plumbers and electricians is what we ask for every time.

Standby generator questions from Morganville homeowners
How far from the property line does a generator need to be in Morganville?
There is no single statewide New Jersey property-line setback for a residential generator. Setbacks are set by the municipality's zoning ordinance, so the requirement is a Morganville question rather than a general one. A generator can meet every manufacturer clearance and still breach a side-yard or rear-yard setback, which is why the zoning review happens before the location is fixed.
What fuel does a home standby generator use?
Most residential air-cooled standby generators are designed to run on either natural gas or vapour-withdrawn liquid propane. The generator and its fuel system have to be configured for whichever is chosen, and the required pressure, capacity and consumption figures depend on the model.
What gas pressure does a generator need?
It is model-specific and has to be read off the specification sheet rather than assumed. A current 22 kW model, for instance, specifies a minimum natural-gas pressure of 3.5 inches water column. Different models carry different requirements.
