Jazmin from Colonia, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since October of 2025. The job was a removal and reinstallation: 26 panels, 5.98 kW in total, taken off in October of 2025 and back on the roof by November. That is the work nobody plans for when they buy an array – the panels have to come down before anything can be done to the deck beneath them, and every one has to go back in its place, re-flashed and re-tested. It is also the argument for doing a roof first when both are on the horizon.

Solar questions from Colonia homeowners
Is there still an electric bill with solar?
Yes. The utility continues to provide the meter, the grid connection and the billing account, so even a house producing roughly as much as it consumes over a year can still see customer charges and other applicable charges.
How is the number of panels for a Colonia house decided?
It starts with the home's actual electricity use, then with how much usable roof or ground area there is. A proper design looks at twelve months of consumption, expected future use, roof orientation, shading, roof dimensions, code-required setbacks, module wattage and the limits the utility places on interconnection.
What is panel efficiency?
How effectively a module turns the sunlight striking its surface into electrical power. Higher efficiency fits more generating capacity into a limited area, which matters most on houses where the usable roof is the constraint rather than the budget.
