    That's funny you put a fake review yet you can't even remember doing business with me, I do recall you staff was complaining about being underpaid as you installed the solar panels on my grandparents house. You pay your employees under market value. This is not a fake review your just terrible company

    A company that does not understand customer service or follow thru and is behind the times technically as well. Several thousands of dollars and a year later we still don't have what we asked for from the very beginning. So many other companies in this area, choose wisely!!!!!

    The Lopez Island School District selected Western Solar through our RFP process and boy are we glad we did! They were professional and friendly throughout the entire process, communicative and organized and completed the project well ahead of schedule. Highly recommended!

    We talked to a few solar companies, Western Solar was the clear choice. Kyle came out to our house a couple of time and the design went through several iterations because we were not sure what would work best for us. Kyle helped us figure all that out and revised the proposal several times. He even went on our roof on the first visit and pointed out areas of concern to address before investing in solar. This is clearly a very well trained and very experienced team, the job was completed flawlessly. I went up on the roof to see what they did and it is very impressive. The batteries and panels i

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Financing

    “regarding the installation process, financing options, and the overall benefits of solar…”

  • Years in business

    “to be part of your journey. With over 20 years of trusted service, Western Solar is…”

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
