Linda from Toms River, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since September of 2012. She and Chrissy signed at the start of September and the array was producing by the second week of December, 24 all-black Canadian Solar 245 watt panels on Enphase M215 microinverters with Zep II mounting and a GE production meter. At 5.88 kW it was designed for about 6,414 kWh a year. Toms River is in Ocean County, where a 2012 array has weathered a fair few storms since.

Solar questions from Toms River homeowners
What is an interconnection application?
The technical application to the electric distribution company asking permission to connect the array to the grid. The utility may review the system size, the inverter, the one-line diagram, the service configuration, the export capability and the capacity of the circuit it would connect to.
Are north-facing panels a bad idea?
They generally produce less annual energy in New Jersey than comparable south-facing panels, but they are not automatically unusable. Roof pitch, shading, the economics and the space available all matter, and a production model should show the expected output before north-facing modules go into a design.
Are panels designed for the wind near Toms River?
Yes. The array and its mounting system have to be designed to resist the applicable wind loads, and coastal and exposed locations can carry different wind-design conditions from sheltered inland ones. It is one of the reasons the mounting system and its engineering are chosen for the site rather than by habit.
