Harold from Princeton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2012, when we fitted a revenue-grade production meter to the solar system on his house. The unit is an Itron Centron digital meter wired to a dedicated solar breaker in the main panel, and its job is to measure generation accurately enough to be trusted for SREC reporting rather than estimated from an inverter reading. It was in and working within a month. Princeton is in Mercer County.

Solar questions from Princeton homeowners
Does solar work well in Princeton?
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 electrical code applies to a solar installation?
New Jersey currently adopts the 2023 National Electrical Code. The articles that matter for solar are 690 for photovoltaic systems, 705 for sources interconnected with the grid, 706 where there is battery storage, and 750 for energy management systems where applicable.
Can more solar be installed than the house uses?
New Jersey's net-metering rules generally limit a residential customer's generating capacity by reference to the electricity supplied to that customer over an annualised period. The programme is designed to offset a household's own consumption rather than turn it into a wholesale generator. Documented future loads can sometimes be relevant under the utility's procedures.
