What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • Just wanted to say thanks to Western Solar. It has been almost exactly one year since our system went online and we have had zero issues. Further, despite being a 26 panel system with slightly less than optimal angles and a complicated roof design Western Solar's prediction for how much the system would generate annually was within 1% of our actual generation for the past 365 days! If you've been on the fence about solar my advice is not to hesitate and give Western Solar a call.

  • All the guys on your team were great to work with. I would highly recommend Western Solar for it's professionalism and courtesy.
    Denise B.7.5 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
  • My hope for the men who just finished installing my solar panels is that they know they are a part of the solution of saving the planet and that they have honorable jobs. I am thrilled about using alternative power at such a great price -- this has been a dream for my husband and me for 10 years. He was a radioecologist, biologist, and ornitholigist. Anything to save the planet. I hope more people move forward to solar and wind power. We need to act now. To borrow from a kid's sign, "There is no Planet B." Thank you and with gratitude.

    Dennis H.11.68 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
  • 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’.
