Our experience with Northwest Wind and Solar was flawless! We were very impressed with the depth of knowledge of the salespeople and the thoroughness of the initial meeting, answering our questions and ensuring that our home and sun exposure was well suited for solar.
The installation crew was outstanding, starting and completing the project on schedule. We wholeheartedly recommend Northwest Wind and Solar!
Kevin Charap and NW Wind & Solar Team,
I would like to thank you and your team for the successful installation of the 72.24 kW solar array at the zHome Project in Issaquah. I enjoyed working with you throughout all phases of construction. Your company made this installation very easy and enjoyable.
NW Wind & Solar’s high level of expertise and professionalism made the decision to work with your company the obvious choice. Out of 12 different bids from local solar contractors, your bid package was the most complete, informative, and economically suitable for our project. Your service and design expertise far exceeded my expectations.
NW Wind & Solar’s attention to detail was vigilant through all phases of construction and was crucial in making the project execution flawless. From rough-in to commissioning, your team worked well with all trades, communicated any needs clearly, and required no oversight or additional management. Your installers upheld strict safety standards, were extremely organized, and accepted only the highest quality of craftsmanship. You finished in advance of all project deadlines and charged the exact amount of the original quote. Hands down your company was the best subcontractor at zHome!
Thanks for the great experience.
Hi Kevin,
I want to thank You, Scott Larison (Sales Consultant), and the installation team--Dickson and Mike, for a job very well done culminating with the Silicon Energy Corp solar system going on line late June 14, 2011. The whole process was truly professional and very satisfying to both JoAnn and me.
We now have 3 full days of operation (June 15,16 and 17) and I am very happy with the performance. The three days were quite similar in weather---under 50% full sunshine every day alternating with variable high clouds, morning clouds and multiple cloud layers. During the high thin cloud periods, there were significant periods of variable hazy sun from very bright to barely visible. Through all of this solar variability we produced 84.4 Kilowatt hours. We "sold back" just under 60% of these Kilowatt Hours to Peninsula Light of Gig Harbor during the 3 days.
The good news about this production is the level of payback generated. With the 54 cent Washington State incentive applicable on Washington State produced solar systems(Silicon Energy Products) and the 7.1 cent per KWH credit combined, we will receive a pay back for these three days of $51.57. Annualized, that works out to $6274. We all know that will not be our number in one year but with that level of performance in much less than perfect solar conditions, I am very optimistic about achieving our payback goal of 9 years.
I couldn't be happier about the whole process and performance.
Thank You again,
The folks from NW Wind & Solar were absolute professionals! The NW Wind & Solar representative was extremely knowledgeable and understood our goals and what we wanted to accomplish with our photovoltaic system. He walked us through a logical, understandable process of assessing our needs and recommended several options for us to select from.
In our opinion — the ultimate test of a top-notch contractor is whether they do everything they say they are going to do — and at the price they quote. NW Wind & Solar exceeded all our expectations in this regard! They arranged the installation schedule to avoid disrupting our classes here at our vocational school and they still completed the installation ahead of schedule.
The technically proficient installation team from NW Wind & Solar completed everything they promised — at exactly the cost they quoted. Kevin, our NW Wind & Solar Sales Consultant stayed in touch with us through every step in the purchase and installation process, and he was on hand to walk us through everything we needed to know to operate our solar electric system and apply for our production incentive.
You can’t do better than picking NW Wind & Solar for your solar system project.
I had been looking at solar power for several years. I had done quite a bit of research and knew basically what I needed. My frustration had been getting companies to respond and or just show up for appointments.
Earlier this year I set up three appointments for proposals. The first company was late for the meeting and presented an out-of-date system. The second company spent the entire time degrading their competition and lying about their system and what it would do.
The 3rd appointment was with NW Wind & Solar. The salesman was on time, honest, knew his system, and could explain it in simple terms that I could understand. When I had follow up questions or issues, he responded timely and answered my questions. Based on this, I decided to go with NW Wind & Solar.
I would recommend NW Wind & Solar to anyone who is considering solar power for their home or business.
I met the SME Inc of Seattle/NW Wind & Solar guys at the Seattle Home Show in February and was pleasantly surprised that a well-established and reputable electrical contractor had a Renewable Energy Division. I had done a lot of research on solar electric systems, but had not yet made contact with an expert to explore the feasibility of putting a solar electric system on my house in Buckley.
I felt comfortable discussing my interest with the NW Wind & Solar team - it was clear that their level of professionalism was top notch, having been refined from decades of contracting experience.
We really got to know each other during the consultation and site survey. I realized that the team at NW Wind & Solar was sincere about understanding my goals and what I wanted most from a solar electric system.
The array they proposed and that I purchased is exactly what I wanted! I love the online monitoring and watching the meters spin as my array produces electricity from the sun. I can't think of another home improvement that has been more rewarding!
NW Wind & Solar promised me a great installation, on time and within my budget - and they delivered! You would be crazy to go with anyone else but NW Wind & Solar for your solar electric system project.
My experience working with NW Wind & Solar from the initial site evaluation to the finished installation was excellent. The company provided great communication and assistance throughout the installation of my solar project.
They installed my solar system on time with quality materials and excellent workmanship. Their installation crew was great. They maintained an organized and clean job site throughout the entire installation process. This company is very professional and a pleasure to work with.
NW Wind & Solar proved they will go the extra mile for complete customer satisfaction. You can be confident that NW Wind & Solar will deliver a high-quality solar system and excellent customer service. They exceeded our expectations.
Excellent company to work with from the initial site evaluation to the final install. Terry and the crew are very patient and willing to help you understand the entire process before any work gets started. If you are someone who is interested in taking a step towards renewable energy, this is the company you need to talk to.
These guys are total pros! Take them at their word. I had then install a solar panel system for me. It was SO worth it! From the initial consultation with Terry Gilliland, their project lead to working with their installers, it's been a cake walk for me all the way with these guys. If your in the market for a solar panel system do yourself a favor and call these guys first!
