Great Company/People To Work With
I had Western Solar install a battery system backup to go with my solar array. They mounted two Tesla Powerwall batteries to my garage wall along with a new breaker box and a Tesla controller. Two days were scheduled for the install, but the crew did it in a day-an-a half. The worksite was left in a clean condition. After the system passed State inspection, Western Solar came out to show me how my battery backup system worked and loaded the Tesla app onto my phone so I could monitor my whole solar system on my phone. All of the staff members of Western Solar that I encountered were willing to help me and answer any questions that I had. They even helped me file for the rebate that Tesla was offering at the time. Also, they will be sending me the proper paperwork so I can claim the 30% Federal Tax Credit. Great company/friendly and competent people to work with.

We used Western Solar for PV and battery project. Everything went well, they are very professional and did a great job for us. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

We would like to share a few comments about the crew that installed our solar panels…. they were a joy to have at our home. They were not only knowledgeable and profession but personable and gracious too. What impressed us so much I was their work ethics…. cleaning up any debris and just doing a few extra things that a homeowner would appreciate. They seemed to take great pride in doing more than was expected and they represented their company well. The DeSalvos

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Transparent about pricing and pros/cons of different options, and quick to work through any problems. Great people!

Excellent company
Most companies do an estimate using google maps and even if someone comes out they just provide info from google maps. Western actually come out and climb on the roof. So other companies estimates includes covering the roof vents. Western leaves those areas open for the venting since by code, those roof vents are required. But some dishonest installers cut off the vents to install more panels but since a solar inspection doesn't require a roof building inspection and only an electrical inspection they can get away with it. Be careful with other installers. I found Western Solar honest and ethical and they actually get on the roof before providing an estimate. Their install team was efficient. Everything came within schedule and I had constraints with my roof needing to be replaced and Western worked with the roof company to synchronize their schedules. Highly recommend Western Solar!

Pleasure to work with, respectful sales approach
We chose Western Solar after getting quotes from four different solar companies. They were in the middle of the pack in terms of pricing. We chose them because, rather than quoting us for one brand of panel and saying, "this is what we use and it's the best, trust us," they gave us many different options. Their materials were a great jumping-off point for additional research, which helped us feel like we'd done our due diligence. Western Solar worked with us to custom design a system according to our priorities. Their install team was quicker than expected and left zero mess. It was a pleasure to have them onsite. Their work passed all the inspections on the first try.

Expert Company to install my Solar and Tesla Powerwalls
Western Solar was recommended by my neighbors since they had done 3 or more installations on my block. I was the first one to have them also install Tesla Powerwalls at the same time for battery backup during power outages and also for night-time power. They were professional, communicative, reasonably priced, and got the job done. I have not had to use city grid power from Puget Sound Energy since as the sun powers the house in the day and the batteries at night. I am very satisfied with their service.

EXCELLENT company - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
My business partner and I vetted several different companies before choosing to use Western Solar on our commercial building AND my personal residence. We worked directly with Josh to get educated on the equipment, rebates, costs, financial forecasting, etc... I can't speak to the quality or the caliber of the other companies since we didn't use them, but I can tell you that we found Josh to be THE most informative individual we worked with. He either had every answer, or knew where to find it. We were extremely well educated by him, and Western Solar was the most competitive bid we received.<br /><br />The work was done exactly as detailed, communication along the way was very thorough. The systems have delivered as promised or better production. We had an incident that required after sale support and they were AMAZING about taking care of things in very short order.<br /><br />I simply can't recommend them enough. You will not be disappointed. There should be more companies like this in every industry.

Great Solar PV System
I chose Western Solar after receiving three bids. Western Solar was the lowest of the three, (by a little), but the design and installation of the system was professional and looks great. Any reservations I had about making this investment were without merit. I went with (28) Itek 285w panels with a Solaredge Inverter so I an add a Tesla Powerwall to the system at a later date. Western Solar was great to deal with before, during and after the installation. I love the monitoring software too.

110% satisfied
This entire experience has been the best purchasing experience I have ever had. The customer service was amazing from consultation to installation to system maintenance (when out internet went down and they called to tell me our monitoring system was down).<br /><br />And the product itself has been awesome. It is outperforming what they had included in their estimate, and as for monitoring our electricity consumption- that alone has reduced our usage. It feels great to be reducing our carbon footprint, and it is really fun to watch it happen right before our eyes. This is probably the best investment we have ever made, both financially and for the planet. <br /><br />Thank you Western Solar!'<br />Derek Munson
