Solar Panel Installation in Burlington Township, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Vince from Burlington Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2011. The array is 8.93 kW – 38 Canadian Solar 235-watt panels on a Zep Solar mounting system – and it was finished in January of 2012. First-year production was estimated at 10,461 kWh. This is the oldest array Green Sun still looks after, and the panel rating is the measure of how far the technology moved: 38 modules were needed then for what 20 would deliver today. The array itself has simply kept working.

Solar questions from Burlington Township homeowners
Does a solar installation need permits in Burlington Township?
Yes. A permanently installed photovoltaic system normally requires construction permits under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. A residential project commonly involves electrical review, building and structural review, fire-access considerations and municipal inspections.
What is Permission to Operate?
It is the utility's authorisation for the finished system to run in parallel with the grid. Completing the installation does not by itself mean the system can be switched on: the utility generally requires the interconnection documentation, the inspections, the metering and the final approvals to be in place first.
Can panels be added to the array later?
Yes, but an expansion is more than bolting on modules. It can affect the utility interconnection, net-metering eligibility, inverter capacity, the electrical calculations, permits, incentive eligibility and monitoring. Incentive rules matter particularly when panels are added to a system already receiving a generation incentive.
