Bojan from Atlantic Highlands, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2022. The array is 8.28 kW – 23 REC 360-watt black-frame panels on a Snap-N-Rack mounting system – and it was finished in August of 2022. First-year production was estimated at 9,780 kWh. The job also included 140 feet of critter guard around the perimeter. That is the mesh that closes the gap between the panels and the roof, and on a house this close to the water it is worth doing at install rather than after something has already nested under there.
Why Bojan 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 Atlantic Highlands homeowners
SolarHow does residential solar work on a Atlantic Highlands home?
The panels convert sunlight into direct-current electricity, and an inverter or microinverters convert that into alternating current the house can use. When the array produces more than the house is drawing, the surplus flows out through the utility meter under New Jersey's net-metering rules. When the house needs more than the array is making, the difference comes from the utility.
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.
SolarCan the panels come off and go back on for a new roof?
Yes -- it is commonly called a removal and replacement. The work involves taking off the modules and mounting equipment, protecting the electrical equipment, roofing, fitting new attachments, rewiring, reinstalling, testing and recommissioning. Permitting and utility requirements are reviewed where the configuration changes.
RoofingWhat is step flashing?
Individual pieces of flashing woven in with the shingle courses where a sloped roof meets a vertical wall, each one lapping the piece below. It cannot be substituted with a single continuous strip of metal run up the joint, and the shingle manufacturer's instructions set the dimensions and the method.
RoofingDoes a manufacturer's roof warranty cover the contractor's workmanship?
It depends entirely on which warranty. Base product warranties commonly do not include workmanship at all, while enhanced warranties available through certified contractors can provide specified workmanship protection when qualifying products are used. Identify the warranty by its actual name rather than accepting the word warranty on its own.
