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:

This home in Port Townsend installed 28 SunPower 335 watt AC modules. The challenge with this installation was working around the chimney in the middle of the roof but the spacing between the modules worked to our advantage and were able to keep the aesthetics of the array intact.

We love the sunny sky and the white clouds reflecting off the array in this photo. This system was installed on a standing seam metal roof using S-5N clamps. We anticipate that this system will produce about 85% of their annual usage.

This lovely pesticide-free farm houses the cutest barn venue in Jefferson County. Raincoast farms also applied for a 25% USDA Grant to assist in their investment in solar.

This home in Port Townsend has a standing seam metal roof and we were able to accomplish installing (12) SunPower 345 AC Modules. Since this is a small home with an alternative heat source, they are able to make 80% of their annual consumption with this system.

This home in Port Townsend wanted to make sure that they used as much south facing roof as possible to accommodate the (29) SunPower 335 AC Modules. This leaves them roof for expansion should they get an electric vehicle in the future.
