What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • The overall experience from initial contact through project completion was enjoyable!
    Charlie S.3.38 kW solar PV system, Anacortes
  • The on-site technicians/workers were knowledgeable and great to work with. We would hire this contractor again, especially the electrician Eric!
    Lee J.9.84 kW solar PV system, Preston
  • Working on a historic house, parts of which are over 125 years old, can create problems for securing panels. Western Solar spent the time and effort to complete the project, even a month early! So now the Tennant house overlooking Tennant Lake in Ferndale WA has Western Solar panels producing green power!
    Kenneth F.4.42 kW solar PV system, Ferndale
  • Work was completed on schedule and in a professional manner.  The electrical inspector stated that Western Solar was one of the best solar companies in Northwest Washingon.
    Robert M. 5.1 kW solar PV system, Anacortes
  • I am very happy to have finally realized a lifelong goal to be a ‘producer’ rather than just a consumer of electricity. I like my system for the way it makes me feel on a sunny day. And on not so sunny days also! We are the envy of our local environmental discussion group for following through on ‘going solar’.
    Fred S.4.32 kW solar PV system, Kirkland
  • My sister-in-law referred me.  I liked the installers and electrician a lot. They seemed to know their jobs well. Open and explained anything I asked.
