The first PAC Solar Series project has been installed at the University of Iowa in June, 2010 by T & K Roofing, Ely, Iowa. Consisting of the Petersen Aluminum 24 GA Snap Clad Panel in 24 GA Black Galvalume, PAC installed 280 of the thin film photovoltaic laminates onto 94 Snap-Clad Panels at the factory to provide a total of 38 kW system for the Cambus Maintenance facility at the university in Iowa City, IA. Thin-film BIPV provides a unique synergy with PAC Standing Seam Roofing, combining superior panel performance with increased sustainability and energy generation. The project was funded under Iowa’s Public Transit Infrastructure Program and grants by the Federal Transit Administration. Project architect was Neumann Monson Architects, Iowa City, IA.
