Being concerned about the climate crisis and wanting to do as much as we possibly could to minimize our reliance on fossil fuels and nuclear power and be a positive example for others, my wife and I, after researching several companies, signed a contract with Puget Sound Solar to install 28 solar panels in 2014. I was immediately surprised at just how much energy a solar array in Seattle could produce in winter. In 2021, after 3 summers in a row of wildfire smoke in Seattle, we made a decision to remove our chimneys and let go of the nostalgia of a wood fire. By removing two chimneys, we created space for 10 more panels, added an electric induction stove, a heat pump, and closed our account with the gas company. With net metering by Seattle City Light, various state and federal tax incentives, the entire installation has nearly paid for itself. Phone and email support from the company has always been stellar, and the technicians punctual, friendly, and efficient. Thank you Jeremy and the folx at Puget Sound Solar! read more

Puget Sound Solar - Solar Installation Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So, I haven't used them for solar, but my car stalled in the very busy intersection in front of them and they were so lovely and helpful. They brought cones out to direct traffic, chatted with me while I was shooting adrenaline and sweating bullets, offered kind advice, and let me have my car pushed into their lot. I got Dan and Kai's names and they were both fantastic and really helped me out. I'm coming here when I get solar. read more

Highly recommend - this is a company with integrity. In 2007, co-owner Jeremy installed my hot water solar system which is still operating 18 years later. And this week, Jason came out to provide an in-person site assessment and estimate for solar electric and was super helpful in discussing the pros and cons of my specific home's configuration. Jason also flew a drone to get pictures of the roof from all sides for evaluating the best configuration. read more

Puget Sound Solar installed solar panels at my home almost 2 years ago. I received three bids, all from local companies. The bid from PSS was the most competitive, and they were able to schedule my install within about 5 weeks. The installers did a great job communicating with me, and the project was done in about 3 days. In the last two years, I have generated about 10% more power than was originally projected. I love looking at the app to see how much power I'm generating every day. Our home is carbon free, and our electric bill has gone way down. I'm very happy with my system and highly recommend Puget Sound Solar. read more

It's been a bit over a year since Puget Sound Solar installed my solar panels, and my experience has been great all the way through. I've been waiting to write a review to see how they performed through the year to validate the promises made when we signed the agreement. I'm not the least bit disappointed. My experience with PSS is that they were transparent and honest every step of the way, with every person I spoke to being highly professional. It was easy to get a quote, and then to get scheduled, and to pay my invoice at the end. A friction free customer experience. I reached out to PSS while looking for competing quotes after first being approached by door knockers for one of the larger national solar installers. The difference in experience between these two companies was night and day. Puget Sound Solar provided a quote in writing and assured me that the price I was quoted is what I would pay. They sent specs for all the equipment they'd be installing which was a welcome read from an enthusiast like myself. And I was impressed with just how quickly I was able to get online and producing energy. I had a lot of confidence signing with Puget Sound Solar, and it was not misplaced! My energy production this year has exceeded my expectations. I haven't had a problem with my panels even once. At one point, I suspected a problem with my electrical system, and PSS was kind enough to send their electrician to investigate. The problem ended up being a faulty breaker unrelated to the Solar install. Thank you Puget Sound Solar! read more

We chose Puget Sound Solar for our residential solar installation. After gathering quotes from three different vendors in the area, we chose PSS for their competitive pricing, clear and understandable quoting; timeliness, and great communication. They were patient with me as I planned for this project for almost two years. Once we were ready to make a decision, they made the entire process extremely simple and were always quick to respond to any questions I had. The installation and electrician teams were quick, friendly, and did excellent work. I especially liked the electrician's attention to aesthetic detail when running the conduit along the side of our house! Also, huge props to Project Manager Clayton who was our main point of contact after signing a contract. He was always available to help us through the project and even got our project moved a week ahead of schedule, which is crucial when trying to take advantage of the long summer days in Seattle. Would HIGHLY recommend the Puget Sound Solar team for your residential or commercial solar install! read more

Really happy with our recent solar panel installation by Puget Sound Solar. They were great throughout the process. Everything went very smoothly. I appreciated that the sales rep took the time to discuss several options for the panel layout. We are very happy with the final layout. read more

Puget Sound Solar is perhaps one of the best companies I've worked with. Throughout the entire process, the people that I worked with were professional and responsive. The quoting process was very detailed and comprehensive. They provided multiple options and their model calculated the best return for your investment. I think the real difference is the service and follow-up after the system is installed. They stand by their product and work and go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied and that any issues are resolved. This is one of the main reasons I chose Puget Sound Solar instead of other companies. This company has a history of being responsive and having good customer service even post-installation. I would highly recommend this company! read more

Could not be happier. Our installation was completed 2 weeks ago and everyone we dealt with at Puget Sound Solar was completely professional, efficient, and informative at every step. This was really important because we really knew very little about solar going in to the process and we feel very comfortable now as custodians of the system. I was especially apprehensive going in, because we thought the tax incentives were expiring and the company that had the best reviews on line was no longer booking projects due to excess demand, so Puget Sound Solar was our "second choice" in order to get the work done in time. Now the incentives have been extended (and Puget Sound Solar was well informed about what was going on tax-wise) and I don't see any reason why Puget Sound Solar would be anyone's second choice. Will come back to post if our production isn't what we expected, but if this review is unchanged in a year, you'll know that we are getting what we expect out of it. read more

We had great service from Puget Sound Solar starting with the bid process all the way through installation and activation. Staff is highly competent, patient, thoughtful and comprehensive. In addition to the panels themselves, we had PSS upgrade our electrical panel to handle the additional load. The solar installation team was there when they promised and finished the job expeditiously. We have happily been generating more power than we need for our own purposes and sending power back to the grid for credit later in the year when the clouds take over. With federal tax incentives it's a great time to install solar. We recommend PSS highly! read more

I hired these folks to install a Tesla Wall Charger after reaching out to around a half dozen companies. They were the first to get back to me with a clear, itemized bid. The electrician they sent out (Ryan) was punctual, communicative, professional, friendly, was able to answer nearly all my questions, and didn't BS me when I asked him something he didn't know the answer to (regarding the specifics of the Tesla charger I purchased). Their price was a little on the high side compared to other bids I received, but I'd say the clarity and professionalism was well worth it. I'd rather pay a bit more for a job by a company that communicates and makes expectations clear from the get-go than save money working with folks who are less organized. The charger also works better than expected. I have no complaints at all about the entire process and would certainly hire these folks and recommend them in the future. read more

I kinda overdid it on the bidding process and wound up getting a total of 8 bids for installing solar panels on my roof. I found Puget Sound Solar to be the perfect balance of quality for the price they offered. They're clearly one of the top 3 solar providers in the Puget Sound Area and highly recommend working with them. Their communication throughout the process was great and ultimately the work seems to be high quality. read more

My first experience with Puget Sound Solar was 10 years ago, when I added a system to my house. Everything went so smoothly, from design to installation! The system has been fantastic- I recommend it to everyone I know. a few months ago, I bought a leaf and needed to add a charging system. Once again, PSS came through! service was fast and the people we dealt with were great! read more

I contacted Puget Sound Solar with a problem with my EV charger. (They were not the ones who installed it.) David in the EV Department was super responsive, and walked me through solutions over the phone. He fixed it. No visit needed and no charge--just being good members of the community. Thank you! read more

This review is for both PSS solar panel install as well as their EV team. TL;DR: Just stop your research and go with PSS. There, I just saved you hours of time! We worked with Bill as the Project Manager for the solar install and Nick, Paul, and RJ did the solar install. Everyone was highly responsive, quick to answer any questions, extremely helpful in designing the system and pointing us in the right direction for our needs. They never tried to upsell us (they actually told us we were going too big and should downsize) and were extremely professional throughout the entire process. There was even a bit of a payment snafu and they were understanding and patient while it was addressed. Their bid came in towards the lower end of all the bids we received and we are very happy we went with PSS. We are in the middle of working with Andrew on the EV wall unit install and he too has been super responsive and helpful in addressing a myriad of questions. Overall, it's been a joy to work with PSS and I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Very straight forward, great financial incentives (not as good as they once were, but still help) and very knowledgable staff. They came out and did their work with no problems at all. Got the system hooked up to the internet and phone app so I can monitor performance and everything is rocking! Producing renewable energy! Can't wait to see what the summer months produce. Highly recommend this team! read more

PSS was so great to work with on our project. We had a lot of questions about solar in general and they explained everything clearly. We were unsure about the different panel options, and they gave us quotes for a variety of different rated outputs, allowing us to choose the system specs we wanted. Very upfront and responsive to all of our emails! On installation day the crew worked around OUR schedule, taking a long lunch break to allow our 1-year old to nap. I have worked in construction for years and I did not expect the installers to be so understanding. Thank you Bill and Jeff! read more

Puget Sound Solar is absolutely top-notch, from a patient and informative quoting process to super professional and high quality installation. We chose PSS on a neighbor's recommendation and were very pleased with their array of customizations. With the advent of micro-inverters, we learned that a solar system can be increased modularly, and this helped us identify our priorities and budget. Jeff quoted us a few different options, and we never felt was pushing us in any direction. We were left with a super functional system with room to grow in the future. The installation team was friendly, efficient, and considerate- and thanks to Puget Sound Solar's size, we actually got our system a full two months early when another comparable system for another customer had to be delayed. Now a few weeks into our new system, we feel educated, taken care of and just plain impressed with Puget Sound Solar. We'd recommend them without reservation. read more

We are very pleased with the solar panels installed for us in July 2019. Throughout the whole process, each staff member was professional, efficient, informative, and patient with our questions. Scheduling was a little tricky, just after the July 4 holiday but they and we were flexible and everything went very smoothly. The installation job took 2 full days followed by city and Seattle City Light visits, and a follow-up with our project manager. The system has been working well, and we can easily access hourly production information, and every other level, plus customized reports. It was a pleasure to work with Puget Sound Solar and we highly recommend them. read more

I have been thinking for days about how best to express my experiences with this business. It's hard to know how to say all the good things I have to say, and still keep a review short enough to be of reasonable length for the Internet. And I may have failed on the "short enough" metric. That said... If you read no further, know this much: every business should aspire to be the kind of business Puget Sound Solar is: the customer comes first, and the employees have the technical know-how to make that happen easily. I first came across PSS years ago, when we purchased an electric car. A friend of mine had installed solar panels, but had also used their "EV Support" division to handle the hookup for their own electric car's charging station. They had nothing but great things to say about PSS, so we called them to do the charging station at our house for our new car. They provided a ton of personalized support while I was researching products (the charging station), and trying to figure out exactly what configuration would work best for us. I had a laundry list of detailed questions, and they fielded them handily and with the patience of a saint. Eventually, we figured out exactly what we wanted to install, they handled all of that, and we were super happy with the results. A few years later, we had a problem with the charging station, where it was tripping the circuit breaker. I found that the plug for the charging station was very warm. I contacted PSS late that day; their president/CEO Jeremy came out personally first thing the next morning, found that the plug hadn't quite been installed correctly, and repaired it. The service call was at no charge to us, and could not have been any more responsive. This is exactly how every single business should treat their customers, but sadly PSS is the only one I can even think of that, in my experience, does this, never mind every time. Naturally, with their track record with us, when it came time to look at solar panels for a new home construction project, they were the first company we called. This was a couple of years later, but the standard of service hadn't changed one iota. Again, I had a laundry list of questions, and again they answered every single one, patiently, accurately, and completely. Their sales process for the panels is thorough, and provides the homeowner with every detail they need to understand the full economic implications of the purchase, with several different options to allow the homeowner to understand what trade-offs are possible in terms of up-front cost vs long-term benefit. Granted, it's to their benefit to educate the customer, since it's only by doing so that the customer can really see how sinking money into the panels up front can reap rewards later down the road. But still, the way that they handle all of this, providing answers to all the questions one asks, promptly, accurately, and happily, is something that I find is rare, if not unique. Ultimately, the panel package we selected, of the ones that they proposed, fit our needs very well and was competitively priced. It's been producing power for almost six months now, and so far has met our expectations. The PSS staff has been excellent at helping guide us through every little detail; the installation of a grid-tied solar system in WA is no small feat, what with all the various paperwork for the different agencies one has to deal with, and PSS ensured that all of this was as painless as possible. They handled every single detail that they could; all we had to do was provide them information about our Puget Sound Energy account, and sign the various forms. The professionalism from PSS has been unparalleled. For our panel installation, beyond just the initial consultation, there is of course the actual work. Electrical prep, the physical installation, final hook-up, and of course all the coordination with PSE. The installation took place in the middle of other construction activities, and the PSS team was superb in their accommodation of and coordination with the rest of the construction crew. I can't imagine any person faking the kind of sincerity in caring about the customer's needs that we received from every person working for PSS. It's so refreshing to work with people who genuinely have my best interests in mind, and who put the effort in to make sure they are met. If my own experience is any indication, PSS will take you from knowing nothing at all about solar panels, to having a solar panel system installed on your house that meets your needs as well as any system could, while ensuring that every step of the way is a breeze. You might find it suspicious a company has nothing but five star reviews on Yelp. But, this is no joke. This company is the real deal, and deserves every single star. Given my experience with them, I am not surprised in the least that every other customer who's taken the time to write a review has come away with the same impression I have! read more

We had solar panels installed last month in May and wanted to give Puget Sound Solar some kudos for being very professional and courteous during the whole project. The experience as great from the initial bid process all the way to the final check of the system. Workers were all very nice and punctual. Install went smoothly and was completed in only 3 days. Highly recommend them if you are ready to go Solar. read more

I had them install a 4.56kW solar system on our house and they did a great job. Professional, organized and easy to work with through the whole process. I especially enjoyed their no-pressure sales approach and their willingness to talk through various options. They even talked me out of adding more panels because the production would not be worth the cost. To me that's great service - putting the best interests of the customer above short-term profit. read more

We're repeat customers. On the recommendation of a solar design consultant [Chris Herman of Winter Sun Design] we hired them in 2008 to install a solar hot water system. Installation was quick and efficient, and we immediately noticed a drastic drop in our gas bill, especially in the summer. So when we had to replace our gas furnace this fall, we thought of moving away from frack-happy natural gas to a system that could employ solar energy. Our gas heating company offered a hybrid system that required gas furnace backup and so did two others--all smelled of corporate slickness. But we remembered the folks at Puget Sound Solar and called them. Hah! Lower prices, better guarantees, and seamless interaction with other needed upgrades made the choice an easy one. Unfortunately for us, PSS has become so successful that they were booking dates 8 to 10 weeks out, so we had to wait a few weeks for our new heaters to be installed, and the solar panels had to wait until we could finish insulating the attic. But now the system is complete and working very well. I love watching the electric meter spin backward on sunny days! Aside from doing high-quality work, these people deserve a lot of credit for tirelessly and selflessly promoting solar energy throughout the region. Their busy work schedule testifies to their high standards and integrity. read more

Puget Sound Solar did a great job installing two different photovoltaic systems on my house. The 29 panels they installed are doing a great job covering my home's energy needs and powering my electric car. Puget Sound Solar took the time to install everything correctly on my home. I haven't had any malfunctions or roof leaks. The panels look great! read more

Puget Sound Solar was a pleasure to work with. The initial meeting with the sales and design engineer to talk about the ins and outs of going solar was very informative and engaging. As we compared bids with other companies and asked for tweaks in the initial design they were always very responsive. Putting up the panels was quick and painless. Everyone we met from the company was friendly and professional. read more

Thank you Puget Sound Solar for your excellent and professional work to repair our solar system and install a new inverter. We have been their customers for 10 years and find them excellent. We can now monitor our solar output via website. Yeah!!!! read more

I've had solar installlations from Puget Sound Solar twice now. The first time was a long time ago before it was "the thing to do". They were a little outfit, home grown and very responsible helpful folks. I've updated my system now and wow! They have grown with many employees and are still very helpful and responsible. I would highly recommend them. read more

These good folks installed our system over a year ago and we have been sooo happy we did this! I called in 3 companies to give bids. Of the 3 PSS was by far the most thorough and informative, I never felt they were going for the hard sell, just good honest info. Entire process was smooth, no nonsense, very pleasant, great follow-up. I have recommended them to many of my friends, well done PSS! read more

I recently purchased a new home in Seattle's Arboretum neighborhood and my real estate agent, who'd previously installed solar at her own home, recommend Puget Sound Solar (PSS) as an alternative to another local outfit.  Subsequently, I thoroughly reviewed PSS's website and read their online reviews before deciding to contact them.  Shortly thereafter I received an email including a  preliminary solar proposal from Julie (sales manager and design engineer).  We scheduled a site visit during which Julie inspected my property, inquired as to my anticipated electric power needs, explained solar technology, discussed possible configurations, and outlined PSS's installation timeline.  She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient and she promptly followed up her visit with a revised solar quote proposing six options based on detailed shade reports which she provided me.  We discussed the various alternatives in detail before settling on a clever solution which would allow me to have panels installed on both east and west facing roofs.  After scheduling an installation date, Julie introduced me to Lyudmila (permit technician) and Bill (project manager).  Lyudmila provided detailed datasheets and took care of the extensive paperwork/permits associated with installation so that I didn't have to directly interact with Seattle City Light.  Bill visited the property a few days before the installation to inspect the electrical panel and to develop an optimal wiring strategy.  He discussed all aspects of the installation, answered any questions I had, and assured me that there'd be no disruption of electrical service throughout the installation.  The installation itself progressed very smoothly and took three days due to the extreme steepness of my metal roof.  The installers and electrician were industrious, efficient, friendly, and courteous.  I was very impressed with the quality of their workmanship and their ability to install the hardware while maintaining the architectural integrity of the property.  Immediately following the installation and after overseeing the inspection, Bill reviewed the hardware setup, attached the unit to my WiFi network, described the web-based monitoring app, and discussed the service/warranty policies.  Since installation, the system's been operating flawlessly and I'm generating more than adequate power to fulfill my needs.  I was impressed by the professionalism of the PSS employees I interacted with and I was pleased that all aspects of the installation, from start to finish, progressed smoothly.  Without reservation, I strongly recommend Puget Sound Solar for your residential solar energy needs. read more

Were great to work with and ensured our system was fully installed, working as expected and even dropped by after to make sure we understood how the system worked at our convenience. Would recommend to others! read more

Puget Sound Solar installed my solar panels and did an excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves and helped me with making sure my information was all correct when getting my first rebate from Seattle City Light. It is so nice not getting an electric bill anymore and getting a refund instead each year. GO PUGET SOUND SOLAR YOU ROCK. Carol B. on North 49th Street. read more
