S-5!, a specialist in roofing attachments for the solar industry, has completed a 53 kW solar installation on its new corporate headquarters in Colorado. The installation will provide 84 MWh annually and cover up to 75% of the facility’s power. The company hired Spear Commercial & Industrial from Texas to handle the installation, which included 135 Trina Vertex S 395 W solar modules with Enphase IQ8 microinverters.
