The Turner's originally installed a 3.42 kW system on their home in 2006. Because solar PV systems are modular in nature, the Turners were able to install another 3 kW of Sanyo modules on their roof this year. Each array has it's own inverter to maximize system performance. Total system size 6.42 kW.

Carla and Brad are quite pleased with their new PV array, a 4.8 kW grid tied system composed of 24 Sanyo 200 watt mocules and an SMA 5000 watt inverter. This system will cover 36% fo their home's electrical consumption and will offset approximately 93% of their annual electrical bill in year 1 with WA State's 15 cent per kWh production incentive and sale of their green tags (carbon offsets) for 2 cents per kWh.

Bob and PHyllis are excited because their 4 kW Sanyo array has their PSE meter spinning backwards on a partly sunny August day. Ten Sanyo 200 watt modules and SMA 4000 watt inverter.

4.18 kW system composed of 22 Evergreen 190 watt modules and an SMA 4000 watt inverter.

3.7 kW grid tied PV system consisting of 205 watt Sanyo modules and a 4000 watt SMA inverter.

Chris and Carolyn are quite pleased with their 7.2 kW grid tied PV system, consisting of 36 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a 7000 watt SMA inverter. Their beach front location is blessed with tremendous natural light (including reflected light fron the water).

2.85 kW system installed on garage while main house was being built. 15 Evergreen 190 watt modules and a SMA 5000 watt inverter allowing for a future expansion of the system.

Barry and Ellen smile as their 3.04 kW grid tied PV system generates clean electricity from the sun. System componenets: 16 Evergreen 190 watt modules and a Fronius 3000 watt inverter.

3 kW grid tied system on Clallam PUD grid composed of Sanyo 200 watt modules and an SMA 3000 watt inverter.

3 kW system: 15 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a 3000 watt SMA inverter. These before and after photos show how a solar PV array can enhance the appearance of a home while providing 30 plus years of maintenance-free renewable energy.

2 kW expandable to 4 kW in the future consisting of 12 Sharp 167 watt modules and an SMA SB4000US inverter. The Roberts plan to double the size of this system by adding another 12 Sharp modules in the future to the existing inverter.

7.2 kW grid tied PV system composed of 36 Sanyo 200 watt modules feeding a SMA SunnyBoy 7000 watt inverter. Project nearing completion with Power Trip's Caleb Peacock offering a happy solar wave.

7.2 kW grid tied PV system with 36 Sanyo 200 watt solar modules and a SMA SunnyBoy 7000 watt inverter. The PV array fits nicely on this Ross Chapin designed home.

6.84 grid tied PV system composed of 36 Evergreen 190 watt modules and SMA inverters on the PSE grid.  The two inverters allow a portion of this array to be fed to each of the two dwellings in the duplex.

11.6 kW on PSE grid - 58 Sanyo 200 watt modules and two  SunnyBoy 6000 inverters. Solar thermal currently in progress along with house construction.

4.18 kW grid tied PV system consisting of 22 Evergreen 190 watt modules and a 4000 watt SMA inverter. The Evans also have a 30 tube Apricus evacuated tube solar thermal array which feeds hot water to their electric water heater.  

Our 100th Installation! A little trumpet blare please, thank you. 3 kW system composed of 18 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA 4000 watt inverter. The Schmitts were kind enough to participate in a KING5 TV interview celebrating the success of solar in Washington and Power Trip's 100th. Click here to download the video (9.3 MB WMV)

30 Mazdon tubes preheating domestic hot water. We installed a 2.1 kW grid-tied PV system on a tracker for the Lanham's in 2006. Thanks George and Katherine for your commitment to clean renewable energy.

3 kW Sanyo grid-tied PV on a SMA SunnyBoy 3000 inverter. 60 Thermomax evacuated tubes, heating a 120 gallon, triple-coil stainless steel tank, hybrid domestic hot water and radiant heating application.

7kW on Clallam PUD Grid, 35 Sanyo 200 watt modules on a SMA SunnyBoy 7000 inverter

6 kW grid tied PV with 30 Sanyo 200 watt modules and a SMA SunnyBoy 6000 watt inverter on a beautiful shop/garage/guest house built by the owners.

This 1 kW array was made possible by a grant from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation with funding support of Puget Sound Energy.  This array will be used by the students and real time data monitoring of the array is available at http://view2.fatspaniel.net/PV2Web/merge?view=PV/detail/HostedAdmin&eid=82718

Additional 3 kW grid tied PV system installed on main house roof (see Riccio tool shed in 2007 projects with 3 kW) bringing total power on site to 6 kW.  Each array of 15 Sanyo 200 watt modules feeds a separate 3000 watt SMA inverter on Clallam PUD grid.

6 kW system with 30 Sanyo 200 watt modules and two SunnyBoy 3000 watt inverters. Nice view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the background.

4.81 kW solar PV system with 26 Day4 Energy 185 watt solar modules on southwest facing roof and an SMA 5000 watt inverter. A 30 tube Thermomax solar thermal system is also located on the south facing roof pre-heats water for the home.
