PARTNER SUCCESS STORY: Krik Haffner of South Sound Solar
/in Case Studies, General NewsKrik Haffner, Founder & President of South Sound Solar, Discusses Quixote Village Project
In a recent project, Quixote Village, the folks at South Sound Solar, led by founder and president Kirk Haffner, demonstrated their commitment to both sustainability and humanity by powering 30 tiny homes in an effort to help shelter the houseless. Partnering with an architectural firm, Kirk and team ensured that the village was solar-ready, utilizing the latest technology to optimize energy production.
With the help of APsystems’ dual-channel microinverters, South Sound Solar was able to maximize efficiency, powering each of the tiny homes with just four solar panels. The decision to make APsystems the primary microinverter was driven by reliability and performance, a choice informed by years of experience and a commitment to delivering quality.
