What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

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.

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 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.

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.
