Project notes
About the project
This South Miami home has two different roof types — a flat section over the main living area and a shingled pitch over the rest. Most solar shops will quote one or the other and call it a day, but that ignores where the best sun actually falls on the house. Sprightful designed a 41-panel layout that spans both sections, using non-penetrating ballasted anchors on the flat roof and IronRidge FlashFoot 2 mounts on the asphalt shingle, so the single 18 kW array behaves like one system even though it lives on two surfaces.
Every panel is paired with an Enphase IQ 8+ microinverter, which means one shaded corner or debris-covered panel doesn't clip the whole roof. The homeowners get panel-level production data in their phone — useful in a two-roof install where production patterns change throughout the day as the sun crosses between the two surfaces.
