What Our Solar Customers Have to Say

  • 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.

  • Thank you. all is very well as promised. I just wanted to let you know that just about everybody that came to inspect the workmanship and even the PSE guy installing the new meter all agree that your work is top-notch. You can now add my name to that long list. I'm happy to have found you by the way of my neighbor, the Torgersen family, another of your satisfied customers. All the very best to you all. Many thanks, limo John

  • 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.
