Mark from Hamilton, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2019. Thirty Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO 320-watt panels went on the roof that December – 9.6 kW in all, estimated at 12,014 kWh in the first year – on a Unirac rail-free system, with 112 linear feet of critter guard closed around the array. These are the all-black modules, so from the street the array reads as one dark shape rather than thirty framed rectangles.

Solar questions from Hamilton homeowners
What is hosting capacity, and can it affect a Hamilton property?
Hosting capacity is how much distributed generation a part of the grid can take without affecting safety or reliability. A neighborhood with a lot of existing solar can face interconnection limits even where the individual property is ideal for it -- which is why the utility review is not a formality.
What is a microinverter and why use one per panel?
A microinverter is a small inverter installed at or near an individual module, so each panel converts on its own channel. That gives module-level visibility and limits the effect one underperforming panel has on the others around it.
Who receives the certificates on a purchased system?
A homeowner who owns a qualifying registered system can generally own the associated certificate rights, unless those rights have been assigned or sold under another agreement. The purchase contract and the programme registration documents should make that unambiguous.
