4.5kW Solar PVThis 4.5 kW solar pv system was part of an entire re-roof project. The home owner went with a lifetime metal shingle. We worked closely with the roofing company to coordinate our efforts so that the attachment points would be properly flashed and to minimize exposure time.           4.5kW Solar PVThe home owners not only wanted to provide the energy for the house but were planning on additional capacity for their future electric plug-in vehicle. Standing up the modules on the back of their home allowed them to add more kW of solar pv.           4.5kW Solar PVWorking with the roofer, a properly flashed attachment point was accomplished for the metal shingles.           4.5kW Solar PVA ground picture of the flush mounted array. We pride ourselves on tidy work. 4.5kW Solar PVThis 4.5 kW solar pv system was part of an entire re-roof project. The home owner went with a lifetime metal shingle. We worked closely with the roofing company to coordinate our efforts so that the attachment points would be properly flashed and to minimize exposure time.

The stand-off and flush mounted array on this home include REC 225 watt polysilicon modules coupled with a Fronius grid-tied inverter. Our original proposal was for a flush mounted system on the south facing portion of the roof. The home owner really wanted to maximize their solar production and a stand-off mount was added to the back of this house.

Here's what the home owner had to say about working with their solar contractor - Powerfully Green:

"Wonderful! We could not have asked for a better, more thorough team for our very complex project that included a lifetime metal shingle roof installed at the same time. Dan & Rebecca did a great job coordinating the project, doing everything possible to keep the solar installation on schedule, even supporting us in our unexpected crusade to get the solar building permit.

The system is performing great; it is doing an incredible job of providing most of our energy needs even on the hot, humid summer days when the air conditioner runs every day. The neat thing is that the solar panels shade the roof AND provide the energy to run the air conditioner—which runs less than it used to because the roof is shaded. How cool is that? "

• Estimated annual production of the 4.5 kW array = 6,600 kwh/year.

• CO2 reduction = 10,230 lbs or just over 5 tons of C02 reduction per year.
