Port Townsend Solar
Port Townsend is the home of Power Trip Energy, and the community has a well-earned reputation as a hotbed of solar installations – we’ve installed more solar power systems in Port Townsend than just about anywhere else. Solar works well in PT; the North OIympic 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 here. Power Trip Energy has installed many solar PV systems in Port Townsend over the years; here are a few of our latest projects:
Residence, 8.18 KW, Port Townsend, 2014
8.18 PV system comprised of 25 SunPower 327 watt modules and 2 Power One 4600 watt inverters.

This system is on the Jefferson County PUD grid and consists of 22 Solar World 270 watt modules and a Power One 6000 watt inverter.
Port Townsend High School, 1 KW, Port Townsend, 2008
Port Townsend High School students jump for joy over their 1 KW array which was made possible by a grant from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation with funding support from Puget Sound Energy.

Clark Residence, 3.7 KW, Port Townsend, 2008
3.7 KW grid tied system consisting of 205 watt Sanyo modules and a 4000 watt SMA inverter. Because of the hill and trees to the south, we installed the top row of this array above the ridge of the roof which is not a normal practice, but done at the request of the client, and effective in harvesting as much sunlight as possible.
