What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • Thank you for a job well done.
    Steven B.4.62 kW solar PV system, Blaine
  • I was really pleased with how integrated the installation was from beginning to end. Josh was professional, responsive and helpful. I really appreciate all the info we were given about the credit union and how production credits work.  They didn’t just sell and install some panels and then leave us to figure out the rest.  That’s been huge.  We highly recommend Western Solar!
    Alexandra S.5.76 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
  • 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?
