This fall marks the start of installation on Vashon Harbor School phase one. We are pleased to work along with Gib Dammann and Vashon Solar LLC as well as the members of the community here on Vashon Island that helped to bring this project to fruition. The project has broken ground and will be adding 9kW of solar modules into the island's total renewable energy capacity during its first phase. Stay tuned for updates and pictures.

March 21st marked the first day of Spring and the inauguration of Seattle City Light's first Community Solar project, located at Beacon Hill's Jefferson Park. The installation consists of three stand-alone solar picnic shelters; rather than attaching solar panels to a preexisting roof, Seattle City Light (SCL) designed the shelters to be dual functioning, using the modules themselves as the roof structures. Most solar modules are structurally weak and unsuitable to be used as a roofing material. However, the Silicon Energy modules use glass on both sides of the solar cells, forming structurally robust frameless "tiles" that allow light to penetrate around the edges of the cells.
