Solar questions from Warren homeowners
Which utility handles interconnection in Warren?
The electric distribution company that serves the property. In New Jersey that is Jersey Central Power & Light, PSE&G, Atlantic City Electric or Rockland Electric depending on the address, and municipal electric systems can have their own requirements.
What happens when the panels make more than the house is using?
The surplus flows out through the meter to the grid and creates a net-metering credit, which can offset electricity drawn from the grid at another point in the billing period or later in the annualised period.
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.
