What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • Adding solar panels to our house is a financially sound investment opportunity that offer a better than average rate of return for the life of the panels, is environmentally correct, adds value to our house, and is a feel-good thing to do. What more can you want?  
    Charles M.4.8 kW solar PV system, Bellingham
  • 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.
    Jeremy R. 6.24 kW solar PV system, Mount Vernon
  • 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.
    Hans D., Monroe UCC12.4 kW solar PV system, Monroe
  • Western Solar went above and beyond our expectations! Just a great experience. All of the people from the bid to the electrical work and the installation crew was very professional.
    Eric & Jane H.12 kW solar PV system, Sedro-Woolley
  • Power outage this morning. My SkyBox is up and running flawlessly. Hot water, hot coffee, cold beer (for later), internet, oh, and all of the critical loads weren’t interrupted. I can hear the neighbors’ generator, but not my SkyBox.
    Bo M.Skybox, Woodinville
  • Western Solar staff was a pleasure to deal with in all aspects of this project. I think they have a good product along with excellent personnel and customer support.
