Nina from Little Silver, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2015. Twenty LG 305-watt panels went on the roof that December – 6.1 kW in all, estimated at 6,587 kWh in the first year – on a QuickMount rail-free system. A twenty-panel array is a modest one, and rail-free hardware is what keeps a modest array from looking like equipment: the panels sit close to the roof plane with no rails showing at the edges.

"Glen Koedding and every member of his team at Green Sun Energy have made the entire process of switching to solar a pleasure. From the beginning, he was comprehensive and detailed in his explanation of the product, responsive and informative about every question and concern, and professional and timely with the installation and all of the paperwork. I am still in shock - since our installation I have not had to pay a single bill to JCPL. This is a wonderful investment and has been a wonderful experience." - Nina from Little Silver, NJ.

Solar questions from Little Silver homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Little Silver?
The electric distribution company that serves the property. In New Jersey that is Jersey Central Power & Light, PSE&G, Atlantic City Electric or Rockland Electric depending on the address, and municipal electric systems can have their own requirements.
What is the difference between a solar lease and a solar loan?
With a loan the homeowner generally buys and owns the system; with a lease a third party owns it and the homeowner pays for its use. Ownership is what decides incentives, certificate ownership, maintenance, warranties, how the system transfers on a house sale, insurance, residual value and any buyout rights.
Does production have to match usage every month?
No. New Jersey net metering works over an annualised period rather than month by month, so credits accumulated in high-production months are available during the low-production ones.
