Walter and Cynthia from Robbinsville, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since May of 2015. Forty Trina 260-watt panels went up that November – 10.4 kW in all, estimated at 12,978 kWh in the first year. The mounting is the unusual part: an S-5! system, the clamp hardware made for standing-seam metal roofs. It grips the raised seam itself, so the array is fixed to the roof without a single hole drilled through it – and a metal roof that is never penetrated is a roof with nothing to leak around.
Why Walter and Cynthia 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 Robbinsville homeowners
Does solar equipment have to be listed?
Yes. Modules, inverters and mounting systems are each subject to product-listing requirements under the applicable standards, and the equipment has to be installed according to that listing and its instructions rather than to general practice.
Can New Jersey change its net-metering rules?
Yes. Energy statutes, Board of Public Utilities regulations and utility tariffs can all change. A proposal should describe the rules as they currently stand rather than guarantee that they will hold for decades.
What is hosting capacity, and can it affect a Robbinsville 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.
