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:
