A Little About Us

Our Mission

We strive to:

  1. Educate and empower our customers, providing detailed analysis and setting honest expectations so that they can make informed, bankable decisions about their energy future.
  2. Design efficiently and intelligently to ensure that our bids are timely and accurate, and that each custom solar system is tailored to the site conditions and needs of that customer.
  3. Provide cost-effective energy-saving solutions at the highest installation standards possible. We do not compromise on quality.

In doing so, we hope to elevate the case for renewable energy in our region and contribute to decreasing our country’s dependence on fossil fuels and its contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.

  • When researching solar system for the house we interviewed five solar energy companies. We did an immense amount of research, and while all the companies gave us bids that were similar, Western was the only company that took the time to go on the roof with a small machine that mapped out the best position for the panels, whether they would be shaded anytime during the day and how much power they should produce to give us the best prediction of what to expect. This gave us comfort to know that we were only putting panels on our roof that would generate the maximum amount of electricity and so far they are right on target.
