S-5!, a provider of solar mounting solutions for metal roofs, recently partnered with solar developer Spear Commercial & Industrial of Texas to install a 53 kW array on S-5!’s new corporate headquarters outside Colorado Springs.
Using the company’s own PVKIT direct-attach solar mounting solution, the PV system will provide 84 MWh annually and – together with energy saving lighting and climate controls – up to 75% of the facility’s power.
Featuring just three components, the PVKIT enabled solar installers to mount the Trina solar panels directly onto the metal roof. The PVKIT’s pre-assembled components considerably reduce installation time and cost for PV mounting by eliminating the need for an elaborate rail system, while also providing better load distribution into the roof and substructure.
“In terms of aesthetics, it was a challenge to blend rustic with modern; homelike but industrial; pragmatic but functional with old country-style appointments. This was executed as a team effort, between me, my wife Robyn, and local interior designer Candace Wilcken,” says S-5! owner and CEO, Rob Haddock.
The project team also included PWN Architects and Planners Inc., Construction Management Group of CO and Weathercraft. Enphase provided microinverters for the installation.

S-5! Completes Solar Array on New Colorado Corporate Headquarters
You and I live among tens of millions of people who think that, after the U.S. Marine Corps has successfully protected our nation for 251 years, it will finally be made battle-ready by Pete Hegseth, an alcoholic Fox News personality.
That’s pathetic.
In an earlier post, I wrote: Well, of course universities are the enemy of the Trump administration, and all other things stupid.
A key characteristic of college graduates is that we are unlikely to believe that “socialism is evil,” a core platform of the current-day Republican party.
We find this this so hard to swallow because we are aware of the social democracies of Europe, Central America, and Oceana; in fact, many of us have visited these nations and have come to see why their people consistently rank at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.
We also understand that the United States is far from a pure market economy, in that it offers its people a great number of free services: roads, bridges, tunnels, firefighting, national defense, embassies, air traffic control, food safety, libraries, public schools, FEMA, criminal justice and corrections, law enforcement, OSHA, auto safety, disease control, the upkeep of our local, state, and national parks and beaches, animal control, space exploration, and dozens of other items.
Stupidity (along with mean-spiritedness) is really what U.S. politics rests on at this point; without it, the entire Republican party would collapse. Sure, it would be supported by a handful of greedy billionaires who couldn’t care less about the needs of the world’s people, but it would control a tiny fraction of the electorate.
Are we headed toward oligarchy?
We wouldn’t be the first democracy to topple. I go back to what so many of my acquaintances from overseas have told me, “You have been the envy of the world since long before I was born. Now we just feel sorry for you.”
When we think of the U.S. population, we generally think of patriots who honor and respect our Founding Fathers, the flag, the Constitution, and rule of law.
That’s what makes it so incredibly bizarre that we re-elected this traitor in 2024, leaving the rest of the world shaking its head in pure disbelief.
