16 kW Generac standby generator in Hazlet, NJ by Green Sun Energy Services.
Alice and Frank from Hazlet, NJ have been Green Sun Energy Services clients since February of 2018. Two jobs booked together and installed five weeks apart.
A 16 kW standby generator
Commissioned in March of 2018, on natural gas, behind a 200-amp transfer switch covering the whole service. The load survey put the house at 1,877 square feet.
8.375 kW of solar
Twenty-five LG 335N1C-A5 panels followed in April, on Ecolibrium mounting with a SolarEdge inverter. The design estimate is 11,049 kWh in the first year.
344 feet of critter guard
Three hundred and forty-four feet is a long run for a twenty-five panel array, and it says something the kW figure does not: guard footage tracks the perimeter of the array rather than its output, so a system split across several roof planes takes far more of it than a single unbroken block of the same size.
Hazlet sits close enough to the bay for outages to be a seasonal expectation rather than a surprise, which is the usual reason a house here ends up with both an array and a machine rather than choosing between them.
This Company is the Best so Happy with our Generac Generator it has already helped us we had 2 outages & it kicked on in 10 seconds amazing & our Solar Panels well I have to say our Electric Bill has dropped at least 100. & it’s only been a month. Everyone should consider both. Glenn, Karen,Chris & there Team are 100% with you from beginning to the End.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Thank you. Ten seconds is what a standby generator is supposed to do and rarely gets credit for. Having solar as well means the two systems cover opposite problems: the array works while the grid is up, and the generator only matters when it is not. Glad both have made an impression so quickly.
Why Alice and Frank 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.
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Questions from Hazlet homeowners
SolarHow is the number of panels for a Hazlet 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.
SolarCan the system be switched on before the utility approves it?
A grid-connected system should not be placed into normal parallel operation until the utility has issued the required authorisation. Running it beforehand can breach the interconnection agreement and the utility's requirements.
Standby generatorCan a generator be installed on a deck or a roof?
Platform, deck and supporting-structure installations are recognized, but they call for additional review: structural capacity, noncombustible surface requirements, fire clearance, exhaust, airflow, vibration, service access and local requirements all have to be addressed. It is a site-specific installation rather than a routine location.
Standby generatorHow much space is needed at the ends of the generator?
Applicable air-cooled installation instructions commonly require about three feet at the ends. That space protects cooling airflow, exhaust operation and the access a technician needs to work on the machine. The model-specific manual controls.
Standby generatorHow often should a standby generator be serviced?
Maintenance follows the schedule for the exact model and its operating hours. For current air-cooled units that means an annual inspection plus scheduled work at hour-and-year intervals. Extended running during a long outage can bring the next service forward.
