Kiran from Piscataway, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since December of 2011. He signed just before Christmas and the array was producing by the end of the following June, 6.58 kW on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep mounting and revenue-grade ANSI metering, designed for about 7,972 kWh a year. Microinverters were the less common choice in 2011 and have aged better than the alternative. Piscataway is in Middlesex County.

Solar questions from Piscataway homeowners
How much electricity does one panel produce?
There is no single figure, because annual production depends on where and how the panel is installed. A module's wattage rating is measured under standardised test conditions and is not annual energy. Actual kWh follows from wattage, orientation, tilt, shade, the inverter, the weather, temperature and system losses.
What is hosting capacity, and can it affect a Piscataway property?
Hosting capacity is how much distributed generation a part of the grid can take without affecting safety or reliability. A neighborhood with a lot of existing solar can face interconnection limits even where the individual property is ideal for it -- which is why the utility review is not a formality.
Who maintains a leased solar system?
The third-party owner generally takes on significant equipment-maintenance responsibility under a lease or power purchase agreement, but the actual obligations come from the contract. Worth checking specifically: inverter failure, panel failure, monitoring, labor, roof removal, animal damage, storm damage and production shortfalls.
