The main thing I appreciated was that every part of the process was professional and easy; getting a quote, picking dates, filling out online forms, payment was effortless and I could see that different parts of the process were well integrated.

…a long-term customer. I highly recommend Green Sun if you are going to go solar. However, it was only recently that I realized they also offer the soft/pressure wash services. We scheduled Green Sun to wash our roof, panels, siding, deck/patio/pavers and fence. It all went very well and the results are a vastly improved look for our property. I'll give them a 5 star rating for their work on this, as well as their solar panels business. Whether you have solar panels or not, consider giving Green Sun a chance to do your next soft wash project on your property. It worked out great for me and I highly recommend Green Sun. They are efficient, courteous, and professional and I recommend that you give them a chance for your next project for your home and property.

…throughout the entire process. They are very reliable, walk you through all the details step by step, communicated clearly, and completed the work on time. They will help you through design, permits, inspections, various registrations. If you need it, they can help with financing and suggest best options. They are in for the long haul and are more interested in maintaining a relationship with their customers. They are easy to work with. I highly recommended that you consider Green Sun Energy for your generator and solar system acquisition, deployment and ongoing support.

…the roof deck; every screw was sunk into the rafters. As promised, no part of the array is visible from the front or sides of the house... If you are thinking about “going solar,” or even just getting a standby generator, you really ought to give Glen at Green Sun a call. "- Wayne from Middletown, NJ. Solar Panel InstallationI recently contacted Green Sun ("GS")about power washing my house, deck, walkways, retaining walls, etc. GS obtained a detailed and up-to-date view of my property, and, along with the square footage of my home, developed a cost estimate. I obtained an estimate from another contractor, which was based on the same information as the GS estimate. GS was less expensive by a not-insignificant amount; yet, as best as I could determine, GS offered the same thorough approach using similar products as their competitor. I moved forward with GS. The 2-person team arrived on time on the scheduled day, and worked the full day, power washing all the walkways, deck, patio, retaining walls. I was scheduled for 2 days, and the team returned as scheduled and completed the job, including the roof and the rest of the house. The results were excellent- what a difference! The team quite obviously cared about what they were doing. A concern I had was the impact the power washing might have on the mature landscaping surrounding the treated areas. I was assured that as a matter of course, the team waters down the plants, trees, etc., before and after treatment. I need not have been concerned - no issues there. When it's time (again), I will definitely be using Green Sun for power washing. - Google

Choose the Solar Plan That Fits Your Budget and Goals
No matter your budget, going solar in New Jersey can be structured to fit your goals. Whether you want $0 upfront, low down payments, or maximum lifetime savings, we’ll show you clear options and help you choose the best fit for your home.
Important federal update: Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the federal residential solar tax credit for homeowner-owned systems (purchased with cash/loan) ends after December 31, 2025. Third-party owners (lease/PPA providers) may still qualify for a federal credit through 2027, which can make leases more attractive in 2026–2027 depending on eligibility rules. IRS+1

Choosing how to pay for solar is just as important as choosing the system. The chart below compares common options—financing, cash purchase, and a solar lease—against continuing to pay a traditional electric bill, showing estimated cumulative savings over time.
