What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

We had only dreamed of having a solar system for our house until we learned about the federal and Washington state financial incentives that reduced our payback time for this investments from 20 to 5 years! Josh and the folks at Western Solar couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly and the installation was fast and smooth. We are the stars of our neighborhood!

My hope for the men who just finished installing my solar panels is that they know they are a part of the solution of saving the planet and that they have honorable jobs. I am thrilled about using alternative power at such a great price -- this has been a dream for my husband and me for 10 years. He was a radioecologist, biologist, and ornitholigist. Anything to save the planet. I hope more people move forward to solar and wind power. We need to act now. To borrow from a kid's sign, "There is no Planet B." Thank you and with gratitude.

We've been very pleased with every step of the process. The professionalism and skill of all the installers was outstanding. It was all very seamless and we've had no criticism of any step. Seeing the meter running has been satisfying and honestly, a lot of fun. We recommend Western Solar without reservation.

Very impressed with Western Solar. On-time and very quick installation. The installation crews and office personnel were very professional, friendly and easy to work with. All the paper-work, permits, interface with Puget Sound Energy were all handled so that we did not have to deal with any of it. Great communication all around. System started generating electricity within 5 minutes of being energized. I also like having the phone App so that you can see exactly how the system is operating. Would definitely recommend Western Solar to anyone considering installing solar panels.

Western Solar did a great job of designing a solar system that is perfect for our home. The installation crew was very professional and had the system up and running in no time at all! Josh has been great to work with and made sure the custom design (off our deck) fit in with the look of the home, while giving us the best solar production possible. We love getting our electric bill to see how much our monthly savings are! Western Solar knows the meaning of Customer Satisfaction! Job well done!
