Systems We Build
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, while contributing to long-term operational stability and reduced utility exposure.
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, including applications focused on community resilience, critical load support, and grid-interactive energy management.
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
Support community resilience planning and critical infrastructure continuity
