McDevitt Residence, 8.18 KW, Bainbridge Island, 2014
8.18 KW grid tied PV system consisting of 25 SunPower 327 watt modules and 2 Power One 4600 watt inverters.
Bainbridge Island is a very solar-friendly community, and properly-designed solar installations work quite well. The Kitsap Peninsula averages approximately 3.5 hours of full sun per day. That is about 70% of the sun resources of southern California. Power Trip Energy has installed many solar PV systems on Bainbridge Island over the years; here are a few of our latest projects in the BI area.

4.86 KW roof mounted system on the Puget Sound Energy grid using 18 SolarWorld 270 watt modules and a SMA 5000 watt inverter.
8.28 system on the Puget Sound Energy grid consisting of 24 SunPower 345 watt modules and a SunPower 10,000 watt inverter.
3 KW system consisting of 15 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA Sunnyboy 5000 watt inverter. This system is designed to be expanded in the future with another 2.7 KW of solar modules on the same inverter.
This was our first grid-tied pv project on Bainbridge Island, which would eventually become one of our most-supportive communities. Thanks to Mike and Robin for being on the Solar Home Tour for many years. This was the first project we did using the Sharp 208 watt modules, and we began to become wattage junkies after growing to understand how larger wattage modules resulted in more pv being installed faster.
Solar World 260 modules feed into two PVI 4.2 inverters. This array produces 8.32KW of power.
