Ronald from Matawan, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2014. He signed in the middle of January and the array was producing by the ninth of April, 20 Trina 250 watt panels on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep II mounting. At 5 kW it was designed for about 5,468 kWh a year. A microinverter behind each panel means one shaded module slows itself rather than the whole string. Matawan is in Monmouth County.
Why Ronald chose Green Sun Energy Services
More than solar panels: a professionally managed energy system, from design and permitting through installation, inspection, activation and ongoing support.

Solar questions from Matawan homeowners
Can the system be switched on before the utility approves it?
A grid-connected system should not be placed into normal parallel operation until the utility has issued the required authorisation. Running it beforehand can breach the interconnection agreement and the utility's requirements.
What makes a good solar panel?
For most homeowners it is a high-quality residential module with strong efficiency, a low degradation rate, and product and performance warranties, that fits the roof geometry available. Efficiency, wattage, temperature coefficient, mechanical-load rating, hail testing and the manufacturer's financial stability are all worth comparing.
Does Matawan decide whether the installation is code-compliant?
The municipal construction department reviews and inspects the work under the Uniform Construction Code, but the substantive electrical requirements come from the statewide Electrical Subcode rather than from local preference. Municipalities may also administer zoning requirements where those apply.
