Creason – Sibole, 4.69kW, Port Angeles, 2018
These clients were really excited to go solar! We anticipate that this solar array will produce around 70% of their annual consumption.
Port Angeles Solar
Port Angeles is an excellent location for solar – and it is one of our busiest locations on the Peninsula. The North Olympic Peninsula averages approximately 3.5 hours of full sun per day. That is about 70% of the sun resources of southern California. This makes grid-tied solar installations very popular in Port Angeles. Power Trip Energy has installed many solar PV systems in PA over the years; here are a few of our latest projects:
Residence, 10.05kW, Port Angeles, 2018
We installed 30 SunPower 335watt AC Modules on this standing seam metal roof. Working around vents is never easy but even more with skylights. Our installers are great at fitting modules into those in-between spaces.
Residence, 8.04kW, Port Angeles, 2018
Rather than racking a system on the flat roof’s available, we were able to install 24 SunPower 335watt AC Modules on the east facing roof. This system will generate about 8,000kWh on an annual basis and helps reduce the amount of energy they need to purchase from their local utility.
Shown Residnece, 8.7kW, Port Angeles, 2018
This client’s energy usage was lower than most of the same size and appliances and was able to get away with an 8.7kW array to make 100% of their annual usage. We love that the design was kept square and still allowed space for the vent at the top of the array.
Residence, 11.73kW , Port Angeles, 2018
This client was so excited to install solar on their home in Port Angeles. They wanted to maximize their return and went with the largest system available for the Washington State Incentive. They have 35 SunPower 335watt AC Modules that will make over 10,000 kWh on an annual basis.
Residence, 7.04kW, Port Angeles, 2018
This client was excited to know that we could install on the standing seam roof and eliminate having to penetrate the roof to attach the rail. We were able to use S-5 clamps that clamp onto seam, rather than to the truss of the house. Not all standing seam roofs are the same, we must use the profile of the seam to determine which clamp is best for the project.
Nelson Residence, 10.72kW, Port Angeles, 2018
This home right on the bluff in Port Angeles was outfitted with 32 SunPower 335 Modules and paired with 2 Inverters. This client was quite excited about the addition of the secure power supply outlet. This provides limited power during a daytime outage, enough to charge a phone, laptop or other small appliance.
Weigel Residence, 11.73kW, Port Angeles, 2018
We knew that we needed to make the power, the challenge was fitting the 35 modules on the roof like a puzzle piece. We had to ensure the vents on the roof still had space to keep proper ventilation for the home.
Residence, 10.72kW , Port Angeles, 2017
This home on the bluff in Port Angeles was able to hold (32) SunPower 335 Modules. They have 2 Inverters that are equipped with a “Secure Power Supply” so that they have use of a 110V outlet durring a daytime outage.
Residence, 9.81kW , Port Angeles, 2017
We love the fall colors in this photo! This home was able to hold (30) SunPower 327 AC Modules.
