This 4.2 KW Silicon Energy array is composed of 24 Silicon Energy 175 watt modules and a 4.2 watt Silicon Energy inverter. This inverter comes from the manufacturer mounted on a 44″ wide X 35″ tall panel with DC and AC disconnects and a production meter already attached. This combination of made in WA solar equipment qualifies for a 54 cent per KWH state production incentive.
Ann and Bob pose with their 4.08 KW Silicon Energy array mounted on a brand new standing seam metal roof. The result is a very sleek array with no roof penetrations. Note the solar clothes dryer in operation on the deck (fancy name for a clothes line). When combined with the 4.05 KW SunPower array on their shop, the Sextros will be spinning their PUD meter backwards a lot! The solar array will double as a gas station for their new Nissan Leaf all electric vehicle set to arrive in early 2011.
4.51 KW solar array consisting of 22 Evergreen 205 watt modules and a SMA 5000 watt inverter. This “active solar” PV system augments a very efficient passive solar home.
6.75 KW array with all-black SunPower 225 watt modules and a 7000 watt SMA inverter.
4.2 KW array composed of 20 Sanyo 210 watt solar modules and 20 Enphase microinverters. And yes, on a cloudy, wintery, northwest day a solar array still generates electricity
6.58 KW array composed of 28 Sharp 235 watt monocrystalline modules and a SMA Sunnyboy 7000 watt inverter, Bob and Fay’s historic home now receives much of its electricity from the sun.
Neither sleet, nor snow, nor Kittitas Valley winds could stop the Power Trip Energy installation crew from helping the citizens of Ellensburg expand their community solar array. With the clock ticking on a grant deadline, Steve, Caleb, and Graham installed 180 First Solar thin film (framed glass on glass) modules that total 13 KW and constitute the latest expansion of Washington’s first and most innovative community solar project.
7.7 KW grid tied PV system consisting on 28 Solar World 275 watt modules and 2 SMA 400o watt inverters.
9.81 KW PV system on Clallam PUD grid consisting of 30 SunPower 327 watt modules, 1 Fronius 11 KW inverter, and a 20 amp electric vehicle charging station.
5.23 PV system consisting of 16 SunPower 327 watt solar modules and a SunPower 6 KW inverter.
