PAC Solar Series

Petersen Aluminum offers its PAC Solar Series, an innovative method of energy generation in conjunction with the proven performance of standing seam metal roofing panels.

The high-tech system is actually rather simple: Adhere a thin-film amorphous silicon (A-Si) laminate directly to the standing seam metal panel at the factory, and install the metal panels as you would with any typical standing seam installation. An electrical or Photovoltaic (PV) contractor provides the balance of components and hooks up the system, and the job is complete.

Pac Solar Panel Drawing

The PAC Solar Series is available for use with the following profiles:

  • Snap Clad (16″ or 18″)
  • Tite Loc & Tite Loc Plus 18″
  • Tite Loc HS 17 5/8″
  • Redi-Roof Standing Seam (16″ or 18″)

Premium Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
In manufacturing PAC Solar Series, a thin-film solar laminate is applied to the surface of the roofing panel substrate. The panel/laminate bond that is created has been tested and proven to withstand winds of 160 mph.

The flexibility and durability of this laminate creates a perfect synergy with metal roofs, where expansion, contraction and curving are considerations. Unlike polycrystalline photocells that are heavy and fragile, no roof penetrations and no additional structural support are required.

And when it comes to generating electricity, PAC Solar Series’ solar laminates, manufactured by United Solar Ovonics, achieve higher relative efficiency under high temperatures and low light.

System Size for Any Budget or Requirement
No matter what your budget or your building’s requirement, Petersen Aluminum has a PAC Solar Series solar standing seam roof system for you, including 1.5, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, and 120 kW systems.
