James from Garwood, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2011, which puts him among the earliest systems we ever commissioned. He signed that September and the array was producing before Christmas, 7.05 kW on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep mounting and revenue-grade ANSI metering. The design estimate was 6,601 kWh a year. Garwood is in Union County, and fifteen years on the array is still doing the job it was sized for.

Solar questions from Garwood homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Garwood?
The electric distribution company that serves the property. In New Jersey that is Jersey Central Power & Light, PSE&G, Atlantic City Electric or Rockland Electric depending on the address, and municipal electric systems can have their own requirements.
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.
What is an SREC-II?
A New Jersey solar renewable-energy certificate created for qualifying projects under the Successor Solar Incentive programme. A qualifying system earns one SREC-II for each megawatt-hour -- a thousand kilowatt-hours -- of eligible solar electricity it generates.
