Solar Panel Installation is Happening NOW at The Mitchell in Downtown Fuquay-Varina
The new roof on The Mitchell building has been done for a couple of weeks now. But if you’ve been in downtown Fuquay-Varina lately, you have likely seen more activity up there. Baker Roofing is now installing solar panels!! These are not typical solar panels that you’ve seen mounted on racks, rather these are 1/4″ thick x 18″ wide x 72″ long flexible panels (manufactured by Uni-Solar) that adhere to the top of the roof. They are called BIPV’s or Building Integrated Photovoltaics and are flexible laminates that adhere to the barrel shape of the roof. Eighty of these panels are being laid side by side and will combine to capture 15kwH annually. Here’s how they work.
(1) solar energy hits the BIPV laminates
(2) the solar energy is converted to AC power by an inverter
(3) this power can be utilized on-site (net meter) or distributed back to the grid (net grid).
The Mitchell is utilizing a net grid system. See photos of The Mitchell solar installation and check back with us each day or week as the project progresses.
Keep up the good work Mary & Eric. F-V is fortunate to have you.

Thanks for this post, I’m happy about it!Solar panels provide clean and renewable energy. I use one, and I’m really happy with it.
They are taking a very needed and wise step for the betterment of the environment, and needs appreciation and encouragement from the mass. I have also installed solar Panels at my house, and am very happy with the power output that I am getting.
