Why Go Solar in Cedar Grove?
Homes around winter shade pockets, local parks and schools, main corridors and sidestreets, tree-lined avenues benefit when tilt, spacing, and shade are tuned for local conditions. With PSE&G net metering, daytime production earns credits that offset evening use and seasonal peaks.
Roof Integrity First
As roofing pros, we protect underlayment, repair decking as needed, and choose mounts that preserve waterproofing. Flats can use ballasted or low-penetration rails; steeper slopes get tuned standoffs and spans.
