On 9/11 we hit 1 megawatt of solar sold this year and we’re still going strong!
To put that in perspective, early on we were installing 180kW-250kW per year and last year we installed 850kW of PV, In fact, our first megawatt took almost nine years while our second took almost three years.
- 2001 to end of 2009 = 1 MW
- October 12th 2012 = 2 MW
- January 7th 2014 = 3 MW
- September 11th = 4 MW
This puts us on schedule to exceed our 40% annual growth trend. The energy sector better watch out for our solar Tsunami – our hard working crews just don’t quit!
At this point in 2014, Puget Sound Solar has installed 11% of the solar in the state of Washington and over 40% of the solar in Seattle City Light territory.
Solar isn’t just our business – it’s our contribution to Seattle’s future. A clean, sustainable, and secure future.
Reaching this milestone on the thirteenth anniversary of 9/11 in our thirteenth year of operation renders our latest megawatt a stark reminder that our nation’s energy security is a local concern.
