Community Solar Solutions

Bainbridge Island City Hall is a unique community funded PV system, with 297 solar panels, and 30 inverters all made locally by Itek Energy in Bellingham. The city hall system is the largest solar system on the island. The 71.28 kilowatt system will produce clean energy from the sun, and it will cover approximately 20 percent of the buildings energy needs each year. The city hall’s solar project is the culmination of investments by 25 local islanders that totaled $450,000.
