Vinay from Lawrenceville, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2011. He and Anitha signed just before Christmas and the array was producing by May, 6.11 kW of Canadian Solar panels on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep mounting and revenue-grade ANSI metering, designed for about 7,430 kWh a year. Fourteen years on, the microinverters are still reporting panel by panel. Lawrenceville is in Mercer County.

Solar questions from Lawrenceville homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Lawrenceville 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.
Does every solar homeowner receive SREC-II payments?
No. The project has to qualify for and be properly registered in the applicable New Jersey solar incentive programme. Older systems may sit in different programmes altogether, including legacy SREC and transition certificate programmes.
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.
