Vittalraj from Scotch Plains, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since April of 2015. He signed in early April and the array was producing by the end of July, 40 Trina 255 watt panels on Enphase M215 microinverters, one per panel. At 10.2 kW it was a large system for its day, and the panel-level electronics mean a decade later that a weak module can be identified on its own rather than dragging a whole string down. The design estimate was about 8,182 kWh a year. Scotch Plains is in Union County, north of most of our work.
Green Sun Energy is an mazing company run by professionals. I'm having a solar for more than two years. When Chris and his team did a sales, it was very transparent and straight forward deal. The after sales service is exceptional. I'm a happy customer.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Vittalraj, thank you for taking the time to share this — it genuinely means a lot to the team. Your 10.2 kW system with those Enphase microinverters has been running since the summer of 2015, and knowing it is still serving you well a decade on is exactly the kind of outcome we aim for. We appreciate your continued trust in us.
Why Vittalraj 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 Scotch Plains homeowners
Which direction should the panels face?
South-facing roof planes generally give excellent annual production, but east and west can be very productive too. The design should compare the modelled annual production of each available plane rather than rejecting anything that is not due south.
Does solar add value to a home?
Owned solar can contribute value, though the effect depends on the property, the market, the age of the system, the electricity it displaces and how it is owned. An owned system is generally an asset associated with the property; a leased one is governed by a continuing contract, and the two should not be treated as the same thing.
What is hosting capacity, and can it affect a Scotch Plains 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.
