Since you've already spoken with him and he's not doing anything to remedy the issue, and the issue is preventing you from enjoying your own land, then yes, contact the town/county. He's the one violating the law. You're doing nothing wrong by notifying authorities.

Well, being I don't currently have enough panels, I'd stick with my current setup vs having less PW and more panels.

I have 4 PW. It's enough for my house size. I've been the only house with power in the neighborhood a few times. I never even notice when the power goes out. The switch to PW is seamless.

I did something similar and don't regret it for a second. We went ahead and got powerwalls as well after, so now any excess is stored first, then sold back to PSEG.

My only regret is that we got the panels shortly after moving in, so we didn't have enough data to support more panels and now we don't have enough panels.

If school for kids is a factor, then Princeton, West Windsor, Plainsboro are your best bets (and towns that feed into any of those districts... Cranbury?

If school is not a factor, then avoid those towns due to high property taxes. Or any town with high property taxes.

If you don't want to deal with the house itself and are looking for more of a starter type home, consider a condo/townhouse. Should be cheaper, less to do, and nice way to build up equity. Wife and I did that before moving to a house in the area.

Generally, you need to put down 20%, so if you have 65k total, you are looking at homes in the 300-325 range. Correct?

Most house listings are fed to various sites by NJ's central real estate data base. I don't have any specific realtor recommendations, but I guess any of the better reviewed realtors on Zillow or Realtor.com should be ok. I'm sure someone will recommend a specific individual or firm.
