Ballard Solar PV Project in Seattle, WA
Pinnacle Roofing Professionals, LLC completed this Ballard solar PV project in Seattle, Washington. The project combined a new Nu-Ray standing seam metal roof with a 7.8 kW grid-tied solar PV system using Itek Energy modules and Blue Frog micro-inverters. Because we specialize in both roofing and solar, the entire system was installed under one warranty and one contractor.
Metal Roof Replacement Before Solar Installation
The existing roof was replaced with a 26-gauge Nu-Ray standing seam metal roof in Old Town Gray. Standing seam metal is ideal for solar because the raised seams allow solar mounting clamps to attach without penetrating the roof panels, preserving the roof warranty. We used S-5 clamps to secure the solar racking without roof penetrations.
7.8 kW Solar PV System with Online Monitoring
The solar array uses Itek 280 HE PV modules paired with Blue Frog micro-inverters. The micro-inverters convert DC power to AC at each panel, maximizing production when partial shading occurs and providing panel-level online monitoring so the homeowner can track performance in real time. The system is grid-tied, allowing excess energy to be exported to the utility.
