Glen from Jackson, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2016. He and Anne signed at the end of January and the array was producing by the middle of April, 25 LG 315 watt panels on Enphase S280 microinverters with QuickMount racking. At 7.875 kW it was designed for about 9,394 kWh a year. Jackson is in Ocean County, where the tree cover means panel-level microinverters earn their keep.

Solar questions from Jackson homeowners
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.
What is hosting capacity, and can it affect a Jackson 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 should a Jackson 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.
