Joe from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2016. The array was commissioned in January of 2017.
Thirty-six Hyundai HIS-S280RG-BK panels, 10.08 kW in total, on QuickMount mounting with a SolarEdge inverter and P320 optimizers. The design estimate is 12,447 kWh in the first year. Thirty-six panels is a large residential array, and what makes one possible is uninterrupted roof: the panels have to sit as a continuous block on planes facing the same way, so the shape of the roof sets the ceiling on the system long before anything else does.

Solar questions from Jackson homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Jackson house decided?
It starts with the home's actual electricity use, then with how much usable roof or ground area there is. A proper design looks at twelve months of consumption, expected future use, roof orientation, shading, roof dimensions, code-required setbacks, module wattage and the limits the utility places on interconnection.
What is net metering?
It lets an eligible New Jersey solar customer receive kWh credit for eligible excess solar electricity exported to the grid, up to the amount consumed over the applicable annualised period. The utility meter tracks energy delivered to the property and energy received from it.
Are certificate payments guaranteed regardless of production?
No. Certificates depend on eligible measured or programme-recognized production, so a system that produces less creates fewer of them. The value attached to each one may be fixed; the number of them is not.
