Transforming a New Zealand Farmhouse into a Modern Solar Oasis with S-5! PVKIT

Just north of Auckland, on the outskirts of town, is a natural forested area and a local working farm. Located on the farm is a newly developed gated community with approximately 20 architecturally designed modern homes. Taspac Energy, a wholesaler and distributor of solar energy solutions across all market segments in the New Zealand solar industry, provided the solar mounting system for one of the residences, which features two buildings on site. The secondary building features a standing seam metal roof with a 12.6 kW solar array secured in place utilizing the S-5! PVKIT direct-attach, rail-less, solar solution. The S-5! system provides a simple, secure method to “lay & play” PV modules with tested, engineered, cost-saving, direct-attachment onto the seams of the metal roof. Also, using the S-5! clamps meant the homeowner could maintain warranties due to the non-invasive, penetration-free attachment. As a result, the homeowner was able to reduce his dependency on electricity and supplement the property’s power generation by 45%. The PVKIT system eliminated the need for a traditional rail system and provided an aesthetically-pleasing, cost-effective PV mounting solution—saving the customer time and money on installation and materials.
