This Queen Anne Seattle solar installation by Pinnacle Roofing Professionals combined a new roofing system with a complete solar-plus-storage solution. The project features CertainTeed 400-watt Solstice panels, Enphase IQ Battery 5P energy storage, and Enphase microinverter technology for a turnkey roof, solar, and battery backup system.
Roof Replacement for Solar Integration
Before installing the solar array, the existing roof was evaluated and upgraded to ensure long-term compatibility with solar equipment. Integrating solar with a new roofing system allows the roof and energy system to age together, avoiding the cost and disruption of removing panels for future roof work.
Solar Panel Installation in Queen Anne Seattle
The solar photovoltaic system on this Queen Anne home was designed to maximize production despite Seattle’s often cloudy climate. Modern solar technology allows Pacific Northwest homes to generate reliable power throughout the year.
Energy Storage System for Backup Power
To complement the solar array, an Enphase IQ Battery 5P energy storage system was installed to provide backup power during outages. Energy storage allows homeowners to save excess solar production and use it when electricity demand is highest or when the grid goes down.
Advantages of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries
The Enphase IQ Battery 5P uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) chemistry, known for superior safety and longevity compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. LiFePO₄ batteries offer excellent thermal and chemical stability, significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway while supporting a higher number of charge-discharge cycles for long-term reliability.
Microinverter Technology: Eliminating Single Points of Failure
Each Enphase IQ Battery 5P incorporates microinverters, a design that enhances system reliability by eliminating single points of failure. This architecture keeps the system running even if one component has an issue, and the modular design makes maintenance and future expansion easier.
CertainTeed’s Solstice Panel Gold Warranty

This warranty provides 25-year coverage for major system components including panels, inverters, optimizers, racking, and flashing when installed by CertainTeed Select Solar Master Installers, and it includes protection against workmanship defects.
