Antoine and Virginie from Basking Ridge, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since March of 2023. The array is 16.2 kW – 40 REC 405-watt panels on a Snap-N-Rack mounting system – and it was finished in June of 2023. First-year production was estimated at 15,454 kWh. The job took in 180 feet of critter guard around the perimeter. Forty panels is a large roof commitment, and the guard is what stops the gap beneath them becoming the warmest sheltered space on the property.

Solar questions from Basking Ridge homeowners
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.
Does Basking Ridge decide whether the installation is code-compliant?
The municipal construction department reviews and inspects the work under the Uniform Construction Code, but the substantive electrical requirements come from the statewide Electrical Subcode rather than from local preference. Municipalities may also administer zoning requirements where those apply.
What is the difference between kW and kWh?
kW measures the size of the system; kWh measures the electricity it produces or the house consumes over time. An 11.5 kW array might be estimated at 13,100 kWh in its first year. Confusing the two makes proposals look larger or smaller than they are.
