As far as I know the maximum you can stay outside of US with green card is 1 year. If you want to stay beyond 1 year you need to apply for Reentry Permit. Read the instructions on I-134 form. It will tell you more.

ceck details on USCIS website under 'travel document" Who needs one: PR's who are staying out of the coutnry for longer than one year, but less than two. If you are away for less than a year you do not need anything-remember it will affect your continous legal presence for future citizenship- but basically as long as it is under a year you need no docs

"Re-entry Permit"...not parole document.
