What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

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.

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?

Bill and Kaye P.2.88 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
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!
