Regency at Manalapan Homeowners Association in Manalapan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2023. Twelve Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO 400-watt panels went up in January of 2024 – 4.8 kW in all, estimated at 6,252 kWh in the first year – on a Snap-N-Rack rail-free system. A community building is a good candidate for a small array: the load is steady and daytime, which is exactly when the panels are producing, so most of what the array makes is used on site rather than exported.

Solar questions from Manalapan homeowners
Do unused credits carry from month to month?
Yes. Eligible excess kWh credits generally carry through the customer's annualised net-metering period, which is what allows strong spring and summer production to offset consumption in the darker months.
How much does shade from mature Manalapan trees affect production?
Shade can materially reduce production, particularly when it falls during the highest-production hours. Module-level electronics such as microinverters and optimizers reduce the effect of partial shading, but they cannot create sunlight where there is none. Significant shade should be modelled before any annual production figure is quoted.
Do solar panels produce anything on a cloudy day?
Yes, though normally less than under strong direct sun. Modules convert both direct and diffuse light. It is the reason a solar proposal should be judged on annual production rather than on any promise about what happens on a given day.
