NW Wind & Solar is one of the most professional companies we've dealt with in the 9+ years we've lived in Washington. Paul and Dickson were extremely helpful with our initial concerns and when we finally made the decision to buy the system the installer Jim did the best electrical job I've ever seen. Even the electrical inspector for the state complimented him on it. The follow-up with Paul to explain the system was perfect and we couldn't be happier. If your thinking about getting solar, make sure you get these guys out for a free quote. You'll be happy you did. We sure are!
