What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • I have been considering purchasing a solar system for about a year. I have received a lot of advice and recommendations from friends that are very happy with their decision to go solar. It sounded like a great idea, but I was a little unsure of the cost versus benefit. The Go Solar workshop gave me all the information that I needed to make that final commitment. The benefits far outweigh the cost, the financing was very simple and our community has a great program in place to support clean energy. Thank you.

They were considerate and easy to deal with. Their work got high praise from the inspectors who cleared the permits.

  • 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.
