16-panel 5.04 kW solar array in Hazlet, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Nicholas from Hazlet, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since June of 2019. The array was commissioned that September: 16 all-black Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO panels on a SolarEdge HD Wave inverter, 5.04 kW rated and designed for about 5,822 kilowatt-hours a year. It went up with 80 feet of critter guard around it, closing the sheltered gap beneath the panels before anything could nest there. This is a modest system by our standards and deliberately so — sized to the roof and the household rather than to the largest number that would fit, which is why the inverter runs oversized relative to the array and has headroom if panels are ever added.
Why Nicholas chose Green Sun Energy Services
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.

Solar questions from Hazlet homeowners
What should a Hazlet homeowner look for in a solar company?
One that can design, permit, interconnect, install, commission, monitor and service the system, and explain the structure accurately. That means twelve months of real usage, a realistic production model, correct kW and kWh arithmetic, orientation and shading, structural capacity, the rooftop code requirements, the electrical articles for photovoltaic systems and grid interconnection, rapid shutdown, manufacturer installation instructions, utility interconnection and net metering, incentive registration, roof age and condition, penetration and waterproofing detail, the panel, inverter, mounting and workmanship warranties, monitoring, and service after the installation. The question worth asking is not who quoted least, but which company has designed the best long-term system for the house and will still be able to support it years from now.
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.
Does the electric meter get changed?
The utility has to provide metering capable of properly measuring the electricity delivered to and received from a net-metered customer. Which meter that is, and how it gets swapped, varies by utility.
