What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • 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.

  • 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.
