What a great day at the Kingston Youth Sports Association Golf Tournament at White Horse Golf Club! ⛳️

Forecast Energy was proud to sponsor the tournament, have two teams out on the course, and spend the day at our tee #11 booth meeting golfers and giving away Forecast swag.

Supporting the Kingston community means a little extra to us because our founder, Morgan Zehrung, grew up right here in Kingston. Having the opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape him made the day even more meaningful.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, participated in our giveaway, and to the Kingston Youth Sports Association for organizing a fantastic event. We appreciate opportunities to support local youth programs and the communities we call home.

One of the things we love most about what we do is helping build projects that make a real difference in our communities.

Over the past year, our team has had the privilege of working with Good Cheer Food Bank to bring this community resilience project to life on Whidbey Island.

From the early design work that supported the grant process to final commissioning, it's been exciting to watch this vision become a reality through funding from the Washington State Department of Commerce Clean Energy Grant and the Puget Sound Energy Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Grant Program.

This project included:
☀️ 15.4 kW solar expansion integrated with the facility's existing rooftop solar array
⚡ (3) EG4 FlexBOSS21k hybrid inverters
💪 (1) EG4 GridBOSS energy management system
🔋 257.4 kWh of EG4 wall-mounted battery storage housed in a custom-built, climate-controlled battery enclosure

Most people think battery storage is just for backup power, but systems like this can do so much more.

As a Distributed Energy Resource (DER), this system can intelligently store energy, respond during periods of peak demand, and help support a stronger, more reliable electrical grid. At the same time, it provides Good Cheer Food Bank with resilient backup power so they can continue serving the community during outages and other emergencies.

That's what makes projects like this so exciting. They're not just helping one organization. They're helping build a cleaner, more resilient energy future for all of us.

A huge thank you to Good Cheer for trusting us with this project, to the Washington State Department of Commerce and Puget Sound Energy for investing in community resilience, and especially to Seinergy for bringing this opportunity to Forecast Energy and trusting our team to help bring this important project to life.

We're incredibly proud of our team and grateful to be part of building the future of energy, one project at a time.

Getting paid to store electricity for your utility? That's no longer the future. It's happening today.

This North Bend homeowner is now generating, storing, and intelligently managing their energy with a 15.75 kW solar system, a FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc. aPower S, aGate, and dedicated generator circuit for even greater resiliency during power outages.

By participating in Puget Sound Energy's Flex Batteries Program, their battery can support the grid during periods of peak demand while earning incentives in return.

This is where the energy industry is headed. Home batteries are becoming more than backup power. They're helping build a smarter, more reliable electric grid while giving homeowners greater energy independence and control while maintaining peace of mind.

Congratulations to our North Bend customers, and a huge thank you to our amazing Forecast Energy team for another beautiful installation!

Some projects are memorable not just because of the solar, but because of the vision behind them.

Our latest installation in Graham features a 10.12 kW solar array paired with an EG4 FlexBOSS21 hybrid inverter, giving this homeowner an efficient solar system today while laying the groundwork for seamless whole-home backup in the future. When they're ready, we'll return to add a GridBOSS and wall-mounted batteries to complete a full energy management system.

One of the coolest parts of this project was the custom craftsman-style solar shed the homeowner designed and built specifically to capture the best sunlight on the property. It's a perfect example of thoughtful planning, craftsmanship, and making renewable energy an intentional part of your home.

We love working with homeowners who think outside the box and build systems that can grow with their needs. Great work by our installation team bringing another beautiful project to life!

Thinking about solar or battery backup? We'd love to help you build a system that's ready for whatever comes next.

Another beautiful installation in the books for our team!

This Issaquah homeowner wanted true whole-home backup capability paired with a solar system designed to offset a significant portion of their energy use. Our crew delivered a clean and efficient installation featuring a full Energy Management System and a 14 kW solar array.

With intelligent energy management, battery storage, and solar production all working together, this home is prepared for both everyday savings and extended grid outages.

Great work by our in-house team on another clean installation from start to finish.

Project spotlight from Port Orchard.

We recently completed this custom solar and energy storage system for a retired couple looking for long term energy security in the home they plan to retire in.

Their goals were straightforward: protect themselves from rising utility costs and changing rate structures, lock in Puget Sound Energy’s 1:1 net metering while it is still available, and maintain reliable backup power during winter storms and summer brownouts.

The project includes 18 kW of Silfab Solar Inc. paired with 28.6 kWh of EG4 Electronics all weather battery storage utilizing the FlexBOSS21k hybrid inverter and GridBOSS energy management system.

The system also includes built in automatic generator support and four smart circuits for intelligent load management, allowing the home to prioritize critical loads and extend battery runtime during outages when needed most.

Projects like this are becoming less about simply lowering a power bill and more about building long term resilience, flexibility, and energy independence.

We are grateful they trusted Forecast Energy with such an important investment in their home and future.

This one is a special one for us.

We recently completed our first solar installation through the King County Energize program, and it’s exactly the kind of project we’re proud to be a part of.

This home had already transitioned to an electric heat pump through the program. After that upgrade, Bradley Dosch, our Solar Developer, completed a full feasibility study to account for the additional usage and make sure the solar system was designed to support the shift to all electric heating and cooling.

What makes this one even more meaningful is that this is not just a residence, it is also an in home adult family home. Energy here directly supports the day to day care provided in the home.

The system includes 10 kW of Silfab Solar panels paired with Enphase microinverters and is expected to produce over 11,000 kWh annually. Combined with the fully funded HVAC upgrade, this project is supporting a full transition away from fossil fuels at no cost to the homeowner.

Programs like King County Energize are built around equity in the clean energy transition, helping make projects like this accessible to community members who would not otherwise have the opportunity.

We are grateful to Bradley for guiding another community member through the process of community funded solar, and to King County Energize for making projects like this possible.

Out in southeastern Washington, we recently wrapped up an off-grid system designed for reliability through all four seasons.

This project is part of a larger whole-home renovation, with a focus on long-term expandability, and we’re excited to be a part of helping bring that vision to life.

The system features a 3.84 kW ground-mounted array using 640W REC Group panels, built with APA Solar Racking Geo-Ballast baskets, allowing us to install without ground penetrations while still engineering for the heavier snow loads this area sees.

Given the remote location, we made a slight adjustment from our typical install approach. Instead of using 4–8 inch river rock in the baskets, we opted for cylinder block to simplify logistics and ensure a solid, stable foundation.

On the power side, the system is built around an EG4 energy management system incorporating the 6000XP off-grid inverter, paired with a 100Ah wall-mounted battery, and backed up by a 10 kW generator. The system is configured so the inverter can automatically call on the generator when needed, whether that’s to recharge the batteries or provide additional load support during extended periods of low solar production.

This kind of setup provides dependable, year-round power with an extra layer of resilience during those darker, colder Washington winters.

A big thank you to our crew for making this one happen. Four days on the road, working through every condition, and getting it done the right way. We appreciate the effort and the pride they bring to every project.

Projects like this are a good reminder that every site calls for a slightly different approach. Off-grid especially is never one-size-fits-all, and getting it right upfront makes all the difference.
