Sue from Red Bank, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2014. She and Peter signed in early May and the array was producing by the end of July, 41 Trina 250 watt panels on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep II mounting. At 10.25 kW it was designed for about 10,986 kWh a year, and it remains one of the larger arrays we have put on a Red Bank roof. Red Bank is in Monmouth County.
Why Sue 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 Red Bank homeowners
What is a microinverter and why use one per panel?
A microinverter is a small inverter installed at or near an individual module, so each panel converts on its own channel. That gives module-level visibility and limits the effect one underperforming panel has on the others around it.
How much does shade from mature Red Bank 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.
Does a third-party electricity supplier prevent going solar?
Not necessarily. New Jersey's net-metering rules contemplate customers taking supply through Basic Generation Service or a third-party supplier, though billing arrangements can differ. The supplier contract is worth reading, particularly on exported energy and the annual true-up.
