A 10.58 kW solar installation:
Jan in Union Beach, NJ had Green Sun Energy Services install a 10.58 kW solar array in November of 2026. The system is made up of 23 REC 460AA-PURE-RX-DC panels — black frame, black back sheet — mounted on a Unirac NXT-Stronghold Rail system using Butyl tape sealing, which carries its own 25-year warranty. Each panel pairs with an Enphase IQ8X-80-M-US microinverter. Because each panel has its own inverter, the array does not depend on a single central unit: shading or a problem on one panel does not drag down the rest. The microinverters carry a 25-year materials warranty from Enphase.
The system ties into an X-IQ-AM1-240-5C combiner box fitted with an ANSI-C12 revenue-grade meter and an LTE cellular modem on a 5-year data plan, so production data flows continuously without relying on the home’s Wi-Fi. The home is served by JCP&L. The array is designed to cover essentially all of the electricity the home uses, with a first-year production estimate of 11,211 kWh across 200 square feet of array footprint on the roof.
The panels qualify for Domestic Content designation. Green Sun’s team handled design, engineering, and permitting as part of the installation package. The work is covered by a 5-year limited workmanship warranty from Green Sun Energy Services, with the Enphase microinverters and Unirac mounting system carrying their own manufacturer warranties. Green Sun can also walk a homeowner through available incentives, SREC registration, and the financing and ownership questions worth asking before the project closes.

Solar questions from Union Beach homeowners
What is a microinverter and why use one per panel?
A microinverter is a small inverter installed at or near an individual module, so each panel converts on its own channel. That gives module-level visibility and limits the effect one underperforming panel has on the others around it.
Can the system be switched on before the utility approves it?
A grid-connected system should not be placed into normal parallel operation until the utility has issued the required authorisation. Running it beforehand can breach the interconnection agreement and the utility's requirements.
How much does shade from mature Union Beach trees affect production?
Shade can materially reduce production, particularly when it falls during the highest-production hours. Module-level electronics such as microinverters and optimizers reduce the effect of partial shading, but they cannot create sunlight where there is none. Significant shade should be modelled before any annual production figure is quoted.
