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:
This PV system consists of 6 SunPower 250 watt modules each with its own Power One integrated microinverter which was added to an already existing solar array system. Yes, this is the 5th pv installation we have performed here since the original in 2006, the combined arrays now total 8 kw. Read more about this project here https://powertripenergy.com/?p=2651
9.2 KW ground mounted array comprised of 36 SolarWorld 270 watt modules paired with a Fronius 10 KW inverter.
6 KW system with 30 Sanyo 200 watt modules and two Sunnyboy 3000 inverters. Nice view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the background.
30 Mazdon tubes preheating domestic hot water. We installed a 2.1 KW grid tied PV system on a tracker for the Lanham’s in 2006. Thank you, George & Katherine for your commitment to clean renewable energy.
The Turner’s originally installed a 3.42 KW system on their home in 2006. Because solar PV systems are modular in nature, the Turners were able to install another 3 KW of Sanyo modules (for a total of 6.42 KW) on their roof this year. Each array has its own inverter to maximize system performance.
2.52 KW system on accessory dwelling unit/shop building. System consists of 14 Evergreen 180 watt modules and a SMA 2500 watt inverter.
1.26 KW system using 7 180 watt Evergreen solar modules and an 1100 watt SMA inverter. Power Trip helped customer with county permit process to selectively remove trees to improve solar access while protecting eagle perch trees on the bluff.
6.6 KW grid tied PV.
2.7 KW system composed of 14 Day4 Energy solar 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.
2 KW grid tied on Clallam PUD grid with Evergreen PV and SMA SunnyBoy 1800 inverter.
