41-panel 13.94 kW solar array in Ewing, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Phillip from Ewing, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2020. Signed in August, commissioned in November: 41 Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO black-framed panels on a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter. All-black modules cost a little more and look considerably better from the street, which matters on a front-facing roof. The system is rated 13.94 kW and was designed for about 15,028 kilowatt-hours in its first year. An array of that size leaves a great deal of sheltered edge underneath, so 382 feet of critter guard went on with the panels — one of the longest runs we have fitted, and the reason nothing has taken up residence beneath it. Ewing is in Mercer County, one of the further corners of our service area.
Glen and Chris were amazing from start to finish! They always made themselves available to answer any questions and concerns that I had. They are a no BS company, very straightforward and honest, never tried to upsale me on equipment I didn't need. The installers did a great job and made sure the install site was clean of any debris when they finished. We couldn't be happier.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you, Phillip. Never selling equipment nobody needs is a rule rather than a style: the 41 Hanwha panels making 13.94 kW at your home in Ewing are the array the roof and the usage asked for. All-black is a choice worth making when the roof faces the street. Glen and Chris will be glad it landed that way.

Solar questions from Ewing homeowners
Does solar work well in Ewing?
Yes. New Jersey receives more than enough annual sunlight for residential photovoltaic systems to produce substantial electricity. Panels run on light rather than heat, so they keep producing through the winter. What varies from house to house is roof orientation, pitch, shading, system size, equipment and local weather.
Which building code applies to rooftop solar?
For applicable one- and two-family dwellings New Jersey adopts the 2024 International Residential Code. Its solar provisions cover structural loads, rooftop systems, roof penetrations, fire classification, roof access and pathways.
Are all mounting systems much the same?
No. They differ substantially in attachment method, waterproofing, rail design, materials, wind rating and installation requirements. Residential systems should use appropriately listed components installed to the manufacturer's instructions, and the residential code requires rooftop mounting and structural systems to satisfy the applicable structural and listing requirements.
