30-panel 11.1 kW solar array in Holmdel, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Jennie from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2022. The roof and the array were bought together and built in the right order – the roof first, then the panels onto it.
A new roof
About 3,200 square feet of GAF Timberline Lifetime shingle, stripped and replaced in June of 2022, taking in 349 feet of rakes, eaves and valleys. Those are the edges and the water channels, and they are where the ice-and-water membrane has to go.
11.1 kW of solar
Thirty REC 370-watt panels on a Snap-N-Rack mounting system, finished in August of 2022, with first-year production estimated at 13,883 kWh. The install took in 252 feet of critter guard around the perimeter of the array.
Why the order matters
A roof has to come off before an array can go back on it, and taking panels down and refitting them is a job in its own right. Doing the roof first meant the array went onto a deck with its full life ahead of it, and nothing on this house has to come apart to get at anything else.
Highly recommend Green Sun Energy for their knowledge and professionalism. They walked us through every step of our install process with the utmost care.
Why Jennie 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.
Why they chose us
Jennie chose Green Sun Energy Services because the team guided every stage of a complex project that combined a full roofing installation with a solar panel system, treating each element as part of a single, carefully managed job rather than two separate tasks. The 3,200-square-foot roof was replaced and backed by a 50-year material warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty, giving Jennie a solid, well-warranted foundation before 30 REC370AA-PURE panels were mounted using Snap-N-Rack hardware and tied to a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter. Solar critter guard was installed along the array's perimeter to protect the system over the long term. Throughout, Jennie found the team to be professional and thorough, noting they offered "knowledge and professionalism" and walked the household through every step with care.

Questions from Holmdel homeowners
RoofingWhat building code applies to residential roofing in Holmdel, NJ?
New Jersey adopts statewide construction codes through the Uniform Construction Code. Local officials enforce the State-adopted code, so project-specific details should be confirmed with the municipal construction office.
RoofingWhat is roof flashing?
Flashing is metal or membrane used where the roof meets walls, chimneys, skylights, valleys, plumbing vents, and other transitions. Many roof leaks originate at flashing details rather than in the shingles themselves, which is why replacement work should address flashing carefully.
RoofingHow long does a roof replacement take?
Many residential roofs are completed in a day or two, though larger or more complicated ones take longer. Weather, decking repairs and the complexity of the roof all move the schedule, and a professional contractor watches the forecast and protects exposed areas rather than leaving a deck open to rain.
SolarDoes solar add value to a home?
Owned solar can contribute value, though the effect depends on the property, the market, the age of the system, the electricity it displaces and how it is owned. An owned system is generally an asset associated with the property; a leased one is governed by a continuing contract, and the two should not be treated as the same thing.
SolarWhat happens when the panels make more than the house is using?
The surplus flows out through the meter to the grid and creates a net-metering credit, which can offset electricity drawn from the grid at another point in the billing period or later in the annualised period.
