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:
Schultz Residence, 4 KW, Port Townsend, 2008
Bob & Phyllis are excited because their 4 KW Sanyo array has their Puget Sound Energy meter “spinning backward” on a partly sunny August day. Twenty Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA 4000 watt inverter are installed on their home.
Main-West Residence, 4.8 KW, Port Townsend, 2008
Carla and Brad are quite pleased with their new PV array, a 4.8 KW grid tied system composed of 24 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA 5000 watt inverter. This system will cover 36% of their home’s electrical consumption and will offset approximately 93% of their annual electrical bill in year one with WA State’s 15 cent per KWH production incentive.
Holland Residence, 2.66 KW, Port Townsend, 2007
5.32 KW system on the Puget Sound Energy grid with Sanyo 190 watt modules and two SMA 2500 watt inverters.
Wennstrom Residence, 2.16, Port Townsend, 2007
2.16 KW system on PSE grid with Evergreen 180 watt modules and SMA 2100 watt inverter.
Dandridge Residence, 3.6 KW, Port Townsend, 2007
3.6 KW grid tied system with 18 Sanyo 200 watt modules and 2 inverters (1 for south facing modules & 1 for west facing modules).
Holeman Residence, 4.32 KW, Port Townsend, 2007
4.32 KW system on Puget Sound Energy grid with Evergreen 180 watt modules.
Clise Residence, 3.6 KW, Port Townsend, 2007
3.6 KW grid tied system with 20 Evergreen 180 watt modules racked up on flat roof with a SMA 3300 watt inverter.
Whitney Residence, 2.8 KW, Port Townsend, 2007
2.8 KW system with 14 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA Sunnyboy 2500 watt inverter. The dormer and main roof are close enough in pitch to allow solar modules to be located on each while feeding a single inverter.
Randall Residence, 2KW, Port Townsend, 2007
On Independence Day the Randall family celebrated “energy independence” by installing a 2 KW system with 10 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA Sunnyboy 2100 watt inverter. With conservation measures, this system will provide more electricity than the home uses late Spring through early Autumn.
