What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • Working with Western Solar was exceptional from initial sales inquiry all the way through to project completion and system activation. They have provided us with a complete turn-key solution with superior customer service. Communication with all members of their team have been professional and timely with the attitude that the customer always comes first. I am very impressed with Western Solar and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a solar system.

  • We enjoyed working with the entire crew and have told friends about Western Solar. Very pleased!  
    Ron S.4.32 kW solar PV system, Seattle
  • Adding solar panels to our house is a financially sound investment opportunity that offer a better than average rate of return for the life of the panels, is environmentally correct, adds value to our house, and is a feel-good thing to do. What more can you want?  
    Charles M.4.8 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
  • My experience with Western Solar from initial contact, to site analysis to determine size and placement, payback projection and final installation was transparent, understandable and enjoyable.
    Lyle A.5.67 kW solar PV system, Blaine
  • Just wanted to say thanks to Western Solar. It has been almost exactly one year since our system went online and we have had zero issues. Further, despite being a 26 panel system with slightly less than optimal angles and a complicated roof design Western Solar's prediction for how much the system would generate annually was within 1% of our actual generation for the past 365 days! If you've been on the fence about solar my advice is not to hesitate and give Western Solar a call.
    Jeremy R. 6.24 kW solar PV system, Mount Vernon
  • Working on a historic house, parts of which are over 125 years old, can create problems for securing panels. Western Solar spent the time and effort to complete the project, even a month early! So now the Tennant house overlooking Tennant Lake in Ferndale WA has Western Solar panels producing green power!
