What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

Very good daily communication about the project.This was a more completed solar installation with multiple parties to interface with. There were a number of issues that arose during the construction which were quickly and completely resolved to my complete satisfaction. Good job all around.

We had been considering solar power for quite some time, and having Western Solar's representative explain their system to us, we knew this was exactly what we had been looking for. The communication before and during installation and the actual installation itself was amazing! Western Solar's install crew are truly professionals. We would definitely recommend Western Solar to anyone.

When researching solar system for the house we interviewed five solar energy companies. We did an immense amount of research, and while all the companies gave us bids that were similar, Western was the only company that took the time to go on the roof with a small machine that mapped out the best position for the panels, whether they would be shaded anytime during the day and how much power they should produce to give us the best prediction of what to expect. This gave us comfort to know that we were only putting panels on our roof that would generate the maximum amount of electricity and so far they are right on target.

Very happy with all aspects of the project from inception to completion. Any questions I had were answered quickly and satisfactory. Quick install, nice, neat and they cleaned up after themselves.

Power outage this morning. My SkyBox is up and running flawlessly. Hot water, hot coffee, cold beer (for later), internet, oh, and all of the critical loads weren’t interrupted. I can hear the neighbors’ generator, but not my SkyBox.
Bo M.Skybox, Woodinville
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.
