Compared to other mechanical components in your home, solar panels are relatively maintenance-free. But much like your furnace filter or clothes dryer exhaust, they do need occasional TLC to maximize their efficiency.

Typically, systems are sized to offset up to 100% of your annual electricity usage, give or take a percentage point or two. You can expect proposals to be similar in overall system size/capacity (kW) and annual production (kWh), even accounting for different equipment.

In the evolving landscape of renewable energy, informed decision-making is paramount, but with so much to consider, where do you even start? Three of our four-person design team are actually Western Solar customers-turned-staff, so we’ve been there as well.

The first step in designing your system involves sizing it appropriately for your electricity needs. These steps will walk you through downloading your historical electricity usage and a copy of your Snohomish PUD bill, so we can get started on your system design.
