Gina from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2016. Twenty-eight LG 300-watt panels went on the roof that May – 8.4 kW in all, estimated at 10,352 kWh in the first year – on a QuickMount rail-free system. All-black modules on a low-profile mount, and six weeks from booking to a working array.

Solar questions from Hazlet homeowners
How much does shade from mature Hazlet trees affect production?
Shade can materially reduce production, particularly when it falls during the highest-production hours. Module-level electronics such as microinverters and optimizers reduce the effect of partial shading, but they cannot create sunlight where there is none. Significant shade should be modelled before any annual production figure is quoted.
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.
Can the system be switched on before the utility approves it?
A grid-connected system should not be placed into normal parallel operation until the utility has issued the required authorisation. Running it beforehand can breach the interconnection agreement and the utility's requirements.
