Sequim Solar
Sequim may be the best location for solar west of the Cascades – that Olympic rainshadow really keeps the sun shining. Solar power systems in Sequim work extremely well. The area averages around 3.5 hours of full sun per day. Believe it or not, that is about 70% of the sun resources of southern California. This makes grid-tied solar installations a wise investment for homeowners in Sequim. Power Trip Energy has installed many solar PV systems in Sequim over the years; here are a few of our latest projects:
Thomson-Dowdell Residence, 4.8 KW, Sequim, 2009
4.8 kw array consisting of 24 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA 5000 watt inverter on a standing seam metal roof.
Horst Residence, 8.83 KW, Sequim, 2009
Len and Wanda added 4.51 KW of Evergreen 205 watt modules to their existing 4.32 KW system.
Sextro Residence – Phase II, 4.5 KW, Sequim, 2009
4.5 KW SunPower 225 watt modules on a Sunnyboy 6000 inverter. The Sextros downsized from a large farm that they had solarized with us, and have now installed solar on the shop of their new home. We’re looking forward to seeing a new greenhouse on the south side of that shop.
McComb Gardens, 4.23 KW, Sequim, 2010
Jane and Neil are passionate about running a green nursery. When they heard of a solar powered nursery on the East Coast they thought, “Cool, we can do that too!” Their 4.23 KW solar array consists of 18 Sharp 235 watt modules and a PV Powered 4800 inverter. Solar power offsets about 70% of the annual power bill of the nursery and on-site residence.
McCullough Residence, 4.68 KW, Sequim, 2010
Jim & Linda built their new home with solar power in mind. Their roof is fitted with 24 Sanyo 195 watt modules feeding DC power to a SMA 5000 watt inverter which converts the electricity to 240 V AC. Solar power, check! Next job, the garden!
Wohlgemuth Residence, 4.76 KW, Sequim, 2010
This 4.76 KW array of Silicon Energy 175 watt modules is located on a detached garage and feeds power to a PV Powered 5200 watt inverter. Silicon Energy modules are unique in that they are glass-on-glass modules with integrated rails and are made in Washington.
Sequim High School, 2.35 KW, Sequim, 2010
This 2.35 KW system consists of 10 Sharp 235 watt modules and a 2800 watt PV Powered 208V (three phase) inverter. The system is equipped with a PV Powered web based data monitoring system. This project was funded entirely by a federal grant. The roof on the General Education building is really large, so hopefully we can find a way to utilize it for more PV!
Schrader Residence, 3.22 KW, Sequim, 2010
Frank and Paula Schrader are pleased with their new home just outside of Sequim and the 3.22 KW 
solar array on their attached garage. The array consists of 14 Sharp 230 watt (all black) modules and a SMA 4000 watt inverter. The wood in the wheelbarrow came from one of several trees that shaded the south side of the home. The home is now brighter, warmer, and drier and the Schraders have a nice supply of fuel for their wood stove.
McClain Residence, 4.7 KW, Sequim, 2010
Todd and Cindy pose in front of their new 4.7 KW solar array consisting of 20 Sharp 235 watt solar modules and a Fronius 5100 watt inverter.
