When the Port of Olympia installed 48 solar panels on the Marine Terminal warehouse roof in 2011, the goal was to generate enough energy to maximize the $5,000 rebate offered by Puget Sound Energy for solar energy harvesting. For the third full year in a row, the panels have met that goal.

The solar panels generate all the energy required by the warehouse, with a little more to help offset the energy consumption of the Port’s office buildings. As energy prices rise in the future, the system will only become more cost effective.

The warehouse utilizes solar panels made in Washington State and installed by Solar Epiphany of Seattle.
