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.

The site visit with Tanner went smoothly. The instal team were great, and did a fine job as well and answering my many questions. Where things were a bit less wonderful were, from my point of view, the challenges with communication. There were a number of these and the last one is the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars. A week after the utility company gave the final okay, there has been zero contact from Banner. Not a "how are things going?" nor a "thanks for working with us" or even an attempt to sell us on their maintenance plan. :) Today, the final payment request arrived, from a no reply email no less. Maybe I asked too many questions or it was the fact that I had an issue with the payment schedule not being made clear?

Then he told us about some great programs that PSE offers that enabled us to get the Tesla batteries we weren't otherwise going to add. The people who came out to verify their diagram were professional and more than willing to answer all our questions. The installers that came out got the work done in four days and were careful about the gates (we have dogs) and cleaned up when they were done each day. (Jason, Alan and the team who climbed onto the roof) The backline/office people (Patricia, Janine, Patrick, Jon, Matt, Mike and many more I'm sure) And today we had our first power outage and were completely unaware until we saw the email from PSE that our power was back on - two hours without a blip at our house. On a daily basis via the app, watching our solar array sending power back to the grid is oddly satisfying.

Everyone was professional in the way they conducted themselves, especially the installation team who were on site for 3 solid days. And major kudos to Tom, the lead electrician on the install team. He had a can-do attitude and like a bull dog, wouldn't let go of a problem he encountered until he solved it. After the appropriate inspections by the State & County, our utility company swapped out the old meter for a new, bi-directional Net Meter, so we can send spare capacity to the grid and get a 1 for 1 energy credit for future use.

Last summer, my husband and I set out to compare eight different solar installers. What we found…read morewas a mix of companies that were more interested in closing a quick sale than truly educating their customers. Many of them refused to take the time to explain how many panels the roof can set up for the ROI return in 10 yrs, the steps of the installation process, or the often‑complex HOA requirements that are so critical to get approval for the installation. We finally chose Mad Energy because of their outstanding customer service, specifically the dedication of their salesperson, Brad. From the very first visit, Brad took a hands‑on approach: he studied our energy bills, and patiently answered every question we had, whether we asked in person, by text, or over the phone. His thorough explanations helped us understand exactly how many panels would work for us and how it would impact our monthly costs. Importantly, the price point was fair, neither the cheapest nor the most expensive option on the market. The biggest challenge we faced was our HOA. Their board had imposed additional, unclear restrictions that weren't even part of the official charter. Brad produced detailed drawings, cited city regulations, and sent comprehensive emails to the HOA board, effectively educating them about the project's compliance. Thanks to his persistence and expertise, the board eventually approved our installation. The actual installation proceeded smoothly and without any surprises.

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.
