Anthony’s Homeport - Kirkland, WA

We partnered with Anthony’s Restaurants to install a 119.35 kW solar array on the flat rooftop of their Homeport location in Kirkland. This commercial system uses a ballasted mounting approach to avoid roof penetrations and maximize long-term durability. Powered by a SolarEdge commercial inverter with panel-level optimization, the system improves energy efficiency across the array and supports the restaurant’s ongoing sustainability goals.

Commercial Renewable Energy Storage

Battery storage enhances your solar system by adding resilience, flexibility, and greater control over your energy use. We design commercial storage systems to support everything from backup power to full microgrid functionality.

What Storage Can Do for Your Facility

  • Provide backup power during outages

  • Reduce demand charges and manage peak loads

  • Enable load shifting for time-of-use savings

  • Prepare buildings for Washington energy code compliance

  • Support future microgrid or off-grid capabilities
