Scott Pilon — Residential Solar
Residential solar project in Amherstburg, Ontario, with SunVibe supporting the customer through the project process, permitting and project coordination.
Project Summary
Sunvibe designed and coordinated a residential rooftop solar system for Scott Pilon using 14 Trina 390W monocrystalline solar modules paired with a 6 kW Fronius Primo inverter.
Project Overview
The project was designed around a residential shingled roof, with the solar array configured as two rows of seven portrait-mounted modules.
The system uses 14 Trina 60-cell 390W mono modules, providing approximately 5.46 kW of total DC module capacity. A Fronius Primo 6.0-1 inverter was specified to manage the system's AC output.
The project also incorporated Fast Rack Ultra Profile Rail mounting equipment, Talon flashing, grounding hardware, and dedicated critter protection—addressing both the structural mounting requirements and long-term protection of the rooftop array.
The Challenge
Residential solar projects require careful coordination between the roof, mounting system, module configuration, inverter and existing electrical infrastructure.
Key considerations included:
Designing around an existing shingled roof.
Configuring 14 modules into two rows of seven.
Selecting an appropriate inverter for the array.
Providing a secure roof attachment and flashing system.
Maintaining proper grounding and mounting hardware.
Incorporating critter protection around the solar array.
Coordinating equipment and delivery requirements for the installation.
The Solution
The project equipment package included:
14 × Trina 390W monocrystalline solar modules.
Approximately 5.46 kW DC total module capacity.
Fronius Primo 6.0-1 inverter.
Fronius Datamanager 2 WLAN card.
Fronius RSD Box.
Fast Rack Ultra Profile Rail mounting system.
Talon flashing and attachment hardware.
Fast Rack critter protection.
Two rows of seven modules in portrait orientation.
The result was a compact residential PV design engineered around the property's existing shingled roof while incorporating dedicated mounting, electrical and rooftop protection components.

Client Testimonial
This company has performed with integrity since day one. They helped me navigate through the government bureaucracy as well everything else. On days where I needed to do something to keep the project going Sasha was on me to get it done and keep it going. Nothing but good things to say about these guys, you will not have any issues. At a time when customer service has fallen drastically, this company has renewed my faith in the Sun. Good luck Sasha and thank you for helping me get this up and running.
