Genare from Jamesburg, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2023. The array is 10.53 kW – 26 REC 405-watt panels on a Snap-N-Rack mounting system – and it was finished in July of 2023. First-year production was estimated at 13,111 kWh. The job took in 140 feet of critter guard around the perimeter, which is the mesh that closes the gap between the panels and the roof before anything decides to nest in it.

Solar questions from Jamesburg homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Jamesburg 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.
Can the old mounting hardware be reused after a reroof?
It depends on the manufacturer's requirements, the condition of the components and the warranty. The roof penetrations and weatherproofing components matter most, and a reroof is often the moment to replace the attachment and flashing rather than reinstall ageing roof-interface hardware.
Why are pathways left around rooftop panels?
Roof-access and pathway provisions preserve the areas firefighters may need for emergency roof operations, ventilation and access. New Jersey's residential code carries solar access, setback and pathway provisions, and the exact layout depends on the roof configuration and the applicable exceptions.
