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, 3.8 KW, Port Townsend, 2013
Solar world 250 modules feed into a PVI 4.2 inverter to produce 3.8 KW of power.
Effman Residence, 3.6 KW, Port Townsend, 2009
Where are the modules?? Look carefully and you will see 27 Unisolar 136 watt thin film laminate modules. Careful selection of roof color allows this PV array to virtually disappear! The array feeds a SMA 4000 watt inverter and web based data monitoring system.
Willard Residence, 4.8 KW, Port Townsend, 2009
Stan and Anne Willard’s 4.8 KW PV array (24 Sanyo 200 watt modules) is equipped with Enphase micro-inverters. The Enphase micro-inverters transmit performance data to the web.
Yount Residence, 3 KW, Port Townsend, 2009
Jo and George Yount with their 3 KW PV system composed of 15 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a 3500 watt PV Powered inverter. The Yount’s roof was built with SIPS panels, (structurally insulated panels) so Power Trip’s install crew used special mounting plates designed for SIPS roofs.

3.4 KW solar array consisting of 20 Silicon Energy 170 watt modules and a Fronius 4000 watt inverter. This system was reviewed and approved by the local homeowner’s association under a state law which limits homeowner association review of solar projects and prevents their arbitrary denial.
Mang Residence, 3.9 KW, Port Townsend, 2011
This Port Townsend home took advantage of the Solarize Port Townsend program to install a 3.9 KW Silicon Energy (made in WA) solar array equipped with a 4.2 KW inverter. The Solarize group purchasing program resulted in significant savings for the home owners.
