William & Debra from Jackson, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since March of 2015, and that July we completed a 6 kW Solar Panel Installation at their home. The system is estimated to produce around 6,800 kilowatt-hours a year, offsetting a significant share of what the household buys from the utility. A decade on it is still generating — solar panels have no moving parts, so there is nothing for them to operate or service. Homeowners throughout Ocean County choose Green Sun Energy Services for solar panel installations designed, permitted and installed by one local team.

"Very professional solar energy company. Handled our installation from permit to completion and then continued with annual cleaning maintenance and quarterly sale of our SRECs. If you're thinking of Solar, you need to touch base with Green Sun Energy Services. Glen will be of invaluable assistance." - William from Jackson, NJ. Solar Review Source: Google
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you. Solar does not end at the final inspection, which is why the 6 kW array at your home in Jackson has stayed with us for cleaning and annual maintenance since. An array that is looked after produces what it was modeled to produce. Thank you for the recommendation.
Solar questions from Jackson homeowners
Does a solar installation need permits in Jackson?
Yes. A permanently installed photovoltaic system normally requires construction permits under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. A residential project commonly involves electrical review, building and structural review, fire-access considerations and municipal inspections.
Can more solar be installed than the house uses?
New Jersey's net-metering rules generally limit a residential customer's generating capacity by reference to the electricity supplied to that customer over an annualised period. The programme is designed to offset a household's own consumption rather than turn it into a wholesale generator. Documented future loads can sometimes be relevant under the utility's procedures.
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.
