After careful consideration and receiving 4 quotes from Seattle Metro Solar Suppliers we are very pleased with NW Wind & Solar. Their team consisting of a sales representative Max coming out to our home to evaluate the site location and providing a proposal. Shortly after reviewing their proposal we had lots of followup questions which Max and Dickson, Project Manager replied promptly every time. After making the final decision to proceed with NW Wind & Solar, Jim and his crew coordinated the installation. Jim and each of the installers listened to our concerns during the installation process including installing the racking and panels on our 4 year old Modern Seattle home with a TPO flat roof system. They made sure the fit and finish was top notch! Overall, we highly recommend NW Wind & Solar because they care about the products they offer, install, competitive/fair pricing and taking care of their customers!
