You Don’t Have to Do It All at Once

Last week, I stumbled onto one of the best reminders of why I love my job. A guy I’ll call “Luke” had gone solar in Hawaii, and he was telling people online that the cost of doing so here in the PNW would exceed six figures. When I gently pointed out that these systems usually run $25K–$35K, he said I had to add on the price of a new roof, batteries, and a new EV....

Saturday at 2PM: "Spin Your Meter Backwards With Solar"
Since 2003 Power Trip Energy Corp has installed over 1200 grid-tied solar PV systems on the Olympic Peninsula totaling more than 10 megawatts of power-generating capacity. Come learn why grid-tied PV is the most reliable and most economically sensible way to make your own energy.

Sunday at 11AM: "Solar Power and Home Energy Storage"
Solar energy remains the cornerstone of clean energy projects—proven, reliable, and both environmentally and economically beneficial. While solar technology itself has seen steady, incremental improvement, the real transformation is happening on the energy storage side of the equation.

This home exemplifies some of our favorite projects. It is a small array on a WWII vintage house in a Bremerton neighborhood. The owner has made several energy efficiency improvements to the home such as better windows, insulation, and a heat pump, and has generally shown it lots of love and care. In a smaller efficient house, a relatively small solar PV array can go a long way towards making most of your own energy.

📣 More BNI friends at the KONP Home Show this weekend!

We just got word that Cindy Gustafson and her husband Al with Air-Duct Pro Plus will also be there!

Cindy and Al are a wonderful local husband-and-wife team who help homeowners keep their homes healthier and easier to breathe in. Their work cleaning air ducts and dryer vents can make a big difference in indoor air quality and even help homes run more efficiently.

If you’ve ever met them, you know they’re the kind of people who truly care about doing good work and taking care of their customers. That’s one of the things we love about having them in BNI Rainshadow Referrals.

So if you're heading to the KONP Home Show this weekend, be sure to stop by their booth, say hello, and learn more about what they do.

Let’s show them some support and cheer on our fellow BNI members! 👏

March 7 – Jefferson Home Show

1:30 PM – “The Changing Role of Home Energy Storage” – by Power Trip Energy’s Andy Cochrane
Solar energy remains the cornerstone of clean energy projects—proven, reliable, and both environmentally and economically beneficial. While solar technology itself has seen steady, incremental improvement, the real transformation is happening on the energy storage side of the equation.

Rapid advances in battery technology, paired with significant cost reductions, are reshaping how energy is captured, stored, and used. Energy storage has become more accessible, more flexible, and more essential for grid stability, resilience, and maximizing the value of renewable energy systems.

This presentation explores the growing profusion of energy storage solutions, why costs are coming down, and what these changes mean for homeowners, builders, and communities. As storage systems become more complex and influential, education is critical—and this session is designed to help attendees better understand the technologies, opportunities, and practical implications shaping the future of clean energy.
