What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • Great Job! I am looking forward to the savings!
    David & Joanne H.1.44 kW solar PV system, Lynden
  • 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!
    Laird M.5.64 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
  • 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.  
    Dennis H.7.2 kW solar PV system, Stanwood
  • 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.
    Gary & Pam I.6 kW solar PV system, Ferndale
  • 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
  • We are very pleased and satisfied with the excellent service from everyone at Western Solar. From the initial discussions of solar panel options with Josh, the politeness and competence of the installation and the final check, we could not have been more satisfied. Electrical issues in our building and some roof irregularity were identified and corrected. The customer service and follow-up have been outstanding.
