Dominick from Freehold, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2012. Sixty-two Canadian Solar 235-watt panels went on the roof that September – 14.57 kW in all, estimated at 16,589 kWh in the first year – on a Zep Solar mounting system. Zep was the rail-less hardware of its day: its clamps engage a groove molded into the panel frame, so panels lock to one another and to the roof anchors with no rails running between them. On an array of sixty-two, that is a great deal of hardware never installed.

Very professional from start to finish. My Solar install was one of the first in my town. Glen and Chris went above and beyond to resolve all issues from design hurdles to education of the township inspectors. They spent time to make sure that our panels were placed for best performance, but would be also aesthetically pleasing. - Dominick P. in Freehold, NJ | Solar Review Source: Angie's List
Solar questions from Freehold homeowners
Does a solar installation need permits in Freehold?
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.
Does every solar homeowner receive SREC-II payments?
No. The project has to qualify for and be properly registered in the applicable New Jersey solar incentive programme. Older systems may sit in different programmes altogether, including legacy SREC and transition certificate programmes.
What is panel efficiency?
How effectively a module turns the sunlight striking its surface into electrical power. Higher efficiency fits more generating capacity into a limited area, which matters most on houses where the usable roof is the constraint rather than the budget.
