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

  • 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.

  • 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!
