Our experience with Cascadia Solar was very positive from beginning to end. Our initial contact was…read morewith Dave Campbell, who took some information over the phone and then came to our house for a preliminary meeting and inspection, during which he reviewed our current electrical usage, the siting and suitability of our house for solar, and our current wiring and metering system. Dave was very pleasant to work with. He was able to answer all our questions and was very knowledgeable about the available federal tax credits and state and local incentives for which we might be eligible. He then created a detailed preliminary design and proposal which he came to the house to discuss with us. We were able to confirm the economic analysis and its conservative assumptions There was some question as to whether we would be able to qualify for the incentive program with the Jefferson County Public Utility District, since that program was approaching its cut-off cap. We really appreciated how Dave was up front and honest about this, not promising anything he didn't think we could count on (although we are still hoping to be qualified for the incentive--we should know soon!). The system should pay for itself even without the state incentive, so we decided to proceed. The final contract was lower than the initial proposal. John and Peyton, who installed our system, were very pleasant, considerate, and efficient (and extremely sweet to our rather noisy little dog). They arrived and finished the job ahead of schedule. After the system was installed, Cascadia Solar arranged for all the follow-up inspections and for Jefferson PUD to install the new meters and replace the old transformer, all of which took place very quickly. Cascadia Solar handled all the paperwork, sending us anything we needed to complete by email so we could scan and return it. Then Dave came out to the house to show us how to use the Internet program that allows us to monitor the output of our system on a daily and long-term basis, as well as to check how each individual solar panel is functioning. In conclusion, if you are considering installing solar on your house or business, we would highly recommend Cascadia Solar.

As with the initial installation, this experience was professional from the beginning to the installation. Clear instructions, documents, and continuing updates! The installation was completed with an emphasis on safety and quality, and the solar gain has been exactly what was projected! Garth M.

My partner and I had been considering solar for a while. I did a lot of research into several…read moredifferent companies and decided to go with Power Trip for several reasons. For starters, they actually came out and looked at the property, rather than just using a computer generated model. Further, they answered all my questions promptly and were honest and fair in their quotes. The system has been stellar since we had it installed in August 2022. Now that we're considering an extension to our array, we'll definitely be going with Power Trip again.

Warning: Dana Baker, owner of Friday Harbor Electric, will come to your house all friendly and…read morereassuring, agree to do what you need done -- and then do nothing. Electricians on this island are overloaded with jobs, but none of them except Baker will accept a job if they can't fulfill it. Far worse is trying to get any information from Baker or his office staff. Baker accepted two projects from me at the end of May, one a small job that he said would take less than an hour -- it's November and he still hasn't scheduled that work -- and the other an expensive, multi-step job, installing an automatic generator. I emailed once a month in June, July and August, trying to get an estimate so that I could budget for payment. There was no response, so I went in to the company's office and talked to a secretary, who said she'd talk to Baker about an estimate. Again, no response. My daughter called in September and found out that the generator had never been ordered. Her call worked and Baker said he'd have the generator installed and working by the end of October. My daughter called the distributor and found out the generator wouldn't be delivered until Nov 2; Baker never let me know this, but at 11:15 AM Nov 2 one of his electricians called to say he'd deliver the generator in a half hour or 45 minutes. When he didn't show up by 12:30 I called the office -- no one answered -- so I left a message asking if there had been a delay. At 2 PM I called again and left a message. A short time later Baker phoned ranting at me about too many phone calls and asking if I still wanted the generator or not. I said of course I do, I've been waiting five months for this, but Baker kept ranting and concluded with the statement that he'd deliver the generator but wouldn't install it. I said if you deliver it, I'll expect you to install it. So far he hasn't delivered it nor contacted me to tell me what he intends to do about the situation. I'm wondering if this was all about the two phone calls or the fact that I pointed out to the electrician that Baker's choice of placement for the generator was not in compliance with the manufacturer's installment instructions. Yes, I know; no expert likes to be told he is wrong, but I certainly wasn't going to let it be placed where it became a potential fire hazard. By the way, I never pressured Baker in any way about installing the new stove hood. Baker either doesn't understand decent business-customer relations, or has so much work he can afford to be disdainful of the people who seek his help.
