Suzanne from South Amboy, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2026. The work was 120 feet of critter guard fitted around an existing array in March of 2026. The guard is a black PVC-coated mesh clipped to the panel frames, so it closes the gap under the array without standing out against the panels from the street. That gap is warm, dry and sheltered, which is exactly why squirrels and nesting birds find it – and once they are under there, the wiring is what they chew.
Why Suzanne chose Green Sun Energy Services
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.

Solar questions from South Amboy homeowners
Who maintains a leased solar system?
The third-party owner generally takes on significant equipment-maintenance responsibility under a lease or power purchase agreement, but the actual obligations come from the contract. Worth checking specifically: inverter failure, panel failure, monitoring, labor, roof removal, animal damage, storm damage and production shortfalls.
How 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.
Are panels designed for the wind near South Amboy?
Yes. The array and its mounting system have to be designed to resist the applicable wind loads, and coastal and exposed locations can carry different wind-design conditions from sheltered inland ones. It is one of the reasons the mounting system and its engineering are chosen for the site rather than by habit.
