Harvey from Franklin Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since November of 2016. The array was commissioned in January of 2017.
Twenty-four LG 315N1K-G4 panels, 7.56 kW in total, on QuickMount mounting with a SolarEdge inverter and P400 optimizers. The design estimate is 9,811 kWh in the first year. A January commissioning is worth noting: an array switched on at the darkest point of the year gives its owner a full seasonal cycle to watch before the first summer, which is a better way to learn what a roof actually does than a single sunny month.

Questions from Franklin Township homeowners
EV chargingWhat is dynamic power sharing?
Dynamic power sharing allows multiple chargers to divide available electrical capacity automatically. When one vehicle finishes or draws less power, more capacity can be directed to the other vehicle.
SolarHow is the number of panels for a Franklin Township house decided?
It starts with the home's actual electricity use, then with how much usable roof or ground area there is. A proper design looks at twelve months of consumption, expected future use, roof orientation, shading, roof dimensions, code-required setbacks, module wattage and the limits the utility places on interconnection.
EV chargingWhat if my panel is Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or another older brand?
Older or problematic equipment may warrant replacement before adding a large continuous load. An electrician should inspect the panel condition, breaker availability, listing, service size, and safety history.
