Solar questions from Hazlet homeowners
Do solar panels produce anything on a cloudy day?
Yes, though normally less than under strong direct sun. Modules convert both direct and diffuse light. It is the reason a solar proposal should be judged on annual production rather than on any promise about what happens on a given day.
Does a third-party electricity supplier prevent going solar?
Not necessarily. New Jersey's net-metering rules contemplate customers taking supply through Basic Generation Service or a third-party supplier, though billing arrangements can differ. The supplier contract is worth reading, particularly on exported energy and the annual true-up.
Does Hazlet decide whether the installation is code-compliant?
The municipal construction department reviews and inspects the work under the Uniform Construction Code, but the substantive electrical requirements come from the statewide Electrical Subcode rather than from local preference. Municipalities may also administer zoning requirements where those apply.
