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.
Why Harvey chose Green Sun Energy Services
Professional home EV charging made simple, from electrical design through final inspection.
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.
What makes Green Sun Energy Services different
- EV charging: installed with certifications from Qmerit, ChargePoint, Enphase, SolarEdge and Tesla, by a licensed electrician and fully managed by our team. On this home: a ChargePoint CPH50-HARDWIRE-L23 EV charger on a 60-amp circuit.
- Solar: design and installation supervised by a NABCEP-certified professional (#PVA-111016-016148), with SolarEdge optimizers on every panel so each one reports its own output. On this home: a 7.56 kW solar array of 24 LG 315N1K-G4/40mm panels, a SolarEdge SE7600A-US000NNR2 Inverter (12Y) W/ P400 HD Wave inverter and the QuickMount mounting system.
- Warranty: backed by a 5-year solar workmanship warranty.
- Local: locally owned and operated in New Jersey since 2010, NJHIC licensed (#13VH06229000), with 12 completed EV charger projects and 27 completed solar projects across Somerset County and 91 EV charger projects and 361 solar projects throughout New Jersey.

Questions from Franklin Township homeowners
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.
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.
Solar and EV chargingCan solar panels charge an electric car?
Solar production offsets the electricity that EV charging consumes over time, which is the honest way to describe it. A grid-connected house does not route particular solar electrons into the car: production, household load and the utility meter interact through the electrical system, and the offset shows up over the year rather than moment to moment.
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.
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.
