Solar Panel Installation in Parlin, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Jeffrey from Parlin, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2018. He signed at the end of that January and the system was producing by late March, 44 LG 365 watt panels feeding Enphase IQ6PLUS microinverters, one per panel, so a shaded module never drags the rest of the string down. At 16.06 kW it is one of the larger residential arrays we have built, designed for roughly 16,411 kWh in its first year. Parlin is in Middlesex County, where we have been installing solar for more than a decade.

Green Sun Energy Services, LLC “The only Solar company to use” Green Sun Energy Servces, LLC Glen, Chris and Karen, did a great job and still are. I got quotes from at least 5 companies and I’m glad I went with Green Sun Energy. They were honest by not selling me what I didn’t need. Explained everything through and most importantly did everything they said they were gonna do on time and efficiently. Do your homework and get quotes and you will find that GSES is the best company to handle all your solar needs. Now that my system is up and running if I have a question they answer me immediately. They haven’t forgotten me because the job is finished.

Thank you, Jeffrey. Being chosen after five quotes is the kind of decision that sticks, because the reasons were understood rather than assumed. The 44 LG panels making 16.06 kW at your home in Parlin run on Enphase microinverters, so one shaded panel does not drag the rest. Glen, Chris and Karen will be glad it has held up.
Solar questions from Parlin homeowners
Does solar work well in Parlin?
Yes. New Jersey receives more than enough annual sunlight for residential photovoltaic systems to produce substantial electricity. Panels run on light rather than heat, so they keep producing through the winter. What varies from house to house is roof orientation, pitch, shading, system size, equipment and local weather.
Are all mounting systems much the same?
No. They differ substantially in attachment method, waterproofing, rail design, materials, wind rating and installation requirements. Residential systems should use appropriately listed components installed to the manufacturer's instructions, and the residential code requires rooftop mounting and structural systems to satisfy the applicable structural and listing requirements.
Can future electricity use be counted when sizing the array?
Potentially, particularly where the household expects documented new loads such as an EV, a heat pump or another electrification project. The utility's interconnection requirements decide what documentation and load assumptions are acceptable, so an installer should not simply oversize the system and hope for approval.
