Solar in Seattle
Posted in solar on January 26th, 2010 by GreenWorldSolar – 1 CommentOne of the first things we are asked in this industry is how well can solar actually work in the Pacific Northwest?
Quite well, actually. In fact, with the advances in efficient technology over the past decade, solar is more effective now in Seattle than it was in Arizona in the 1990’s.
Our area gets approximately 70% as much useful light as Los Angeles, and as we love to point out…that makes our solar customers 100% more efficient than doing nothing!
Of course, results vary greatly by location. Trees, roof location, etc., make a large impact on the effectness of each system. We spend quite a bit of time doing analysis on each site to make sure our client know what results they can expect.
