Peter from Cherry Hill, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2020. Roof and array were bought on the same day and built in the right order.
A new roof
About 2,700 square feet of GAF Timberline Lifetime shingle, finished in November of 2020, taking in 248 feet of rakes, eaves and valleys – the edges and the water channels, where the ice-and-water membrane goes and where a roof leaks first.
8.88 kW of solar
Twenty-four Solaria 370-watt panels on an Ecolibrium Solar mounting system, finished at the end of November, with first-year production estimated at 12,697 kWh.
Twelve days between them
That gap is the reason to buy the pair together. The array went onto new decking with its full life ahead of it, and there is nothing on this roof that will have to come apart to get at anything else.
Why Peter chose Green Sun Energy Services
One company designs the roof and solar system together, so there is no finger-pointing between a roofer and a solar installer.

Questions from Cherry Hill homeowners
RoofingWhy is water running behind my gutter?
Possible causes include improper gutter position, roof-edge flashing problems, deterioration at the fascia, or water bypassing the gutter edge. The roof edge, the drip edge and the gutter should be evaluated together.
RoofingDoes a wind warranty with no speed limit mean the roof cannot blow off?
No. It is a limited warranty without a maximum wind-speed limitation for qualifying systems, and that is a statement about coverage rather than about physics. Storm damage remains possible and the coverage remains subject to the warranty's terms and exclusions.
RoofingWhat should I look for after a Cherry Hill windstorm?
Look for missing or lifted shingles, exposed underlayment, bent flashing, damaged ridge caps, displaced gutters, fallen branches, and interior water stains. Do not climb onto the roof after a storm unless you are trained and properly equipped.
SolarCan the utility require upgrades before approving a system?
Yes. Some interconnections require utility-system modifications -- transformer capacity, voltage, protection equipment, secondary conductors, service equipment or other distribution work. Who bears the cost depends on the applicable interconnection rules and the utility's determination.
SolarHow does an optimizer system differ from microinverters?
An optimizer system puts DC power optimizers at the modules and a single central inverter elsewhere; a microinverter system puts a small inverter at each module. Both can provide module-level monitoring and rapid shutdown when properly designed -- they are different architectures rather than one being the upgrade of the other.
