 Sextro
Residence (cont.)line). When combined with the 4.5 kW SunPower array on their shop, the Sextros will be spinning their PUD meter backwards a lot! The solar array will also double as a gas station for their new Nissan Leaf all electric vehicle set to arrive early in 2011. |

Sanders Residence Bob and Marcia posed in front of their 6.9 kW SunPower solar array mounted on a shed containing their well. The Sander’s home was too shady to make the solar array effective. The frequent presence of Elk in their pasture made a |
 Sanders
Residence (cont.)ground mounted array not feasible. This array is 550 feet from the house (a new record trench length for Power Trip Energy) and the array was designed to extend beyond the top and bottom roof surfaces to maximize system size. |

Solar power offsets about 70% of the annual power bill of the nursery and on-site residence. |
Bill and Ann love their little Guemes Island cottage and decided that it deserved solar power. Their system is small, 1.88 kW consisting of 8 Sharp 235 watt modules and a SunnyBoy 2000 watt inverter, but should generate as much electricity as this get away cottage uses each year. |
