To the Editor:
Our home has a large southern-facing roof. I’ve spoken with multiple solar panel installation vendors and they have all told me that the maximum number of panels that the N.J. Board of Public Utilities will allow me to install is somewhere between six and eight. The roof surface could easily accommodate closer to 20.
BPU regulations dictate that residential installations shall be limited to the maximum number of panels required to offset the total electrical needs of the individual residence.
