Solar Panel Installation in Farmingdale, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Edward from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2016. He signed in November and our crew had the array producing by January of 2017, a 6.16 kW rooftop system sized to cover a large share of the yearly electric use at the house. The design estimate came in close to 7,957 kWh for the first year, and the system has been quietly offsetting bills ever since. Farmingdale sits in Monmouth County, where we have installed and serviced residential solar since our earliest years.

From the first conversation about the feasibility of solar energy for my home to the completion of the installation everything went superbly. There were no surprises. The job was completed ahead of schedule. Everyone from Glen Koedding, the managing partner, to everyone on his crew that performed the installation I have nothing but high remarks. Everyone was competent, courteous and efficient. The system is producing power and I have no electric bills to pay anymore. I would highly recommend Green Sun Energy Services, LLC to anyone considering the installation of a solar energy system.

Thank you, Edward. No surprises is the target for every solar project, and it is reached in the feasibility conversation rather than on installation day. The 6.16 kW array at your home in Farmingdale produces close to eight thousand kilowatt-hours a year, which is what the modeling said it would. Ahead of schedule was a bonus.
Solar questions from Farmingdale homeowners
How much does shade from mature Farmingdale 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.
Does solar equipment have to be listed?
Yes. Modules, inverters and mounting systems are each subject to product-listing requirements under the applicable standards, and the equipment has to be installed according to that listing and its instructions rather than to general practice.
What 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.
