Solar Energy in Western Washington? Yes! On an annual basis,
we receive 68% as much solar energy as Los Angeles.
Our MissionWith offices in Bellingham and Seattle, we are a leading provider of solar electric, solar hot water, and solar space heating systems in Western Washington. We strive to design and install the most cost-effective energy-saving solutions for our clients. In so doing, we hope to contribute to decreasing our country's dependence on fossil fuel and its contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Why Solar?In this age of rising energy costs and supply uncertainties, renewable energy will save you money, add value to your home or business, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Consider solar energy as a wise long-term investment. Studies have shown that for every $1 decrease in annual energy bills, the value of property increases by $20 (see article). The return on investment is higher for solar than other types of investments. For example, a residential solar electric system in the Pacific Northwest will yield about 14% per year ROI (see example cash flow). This is almost guaranteed as long as the sun rises and is tax free. Over its life cycle a solar hot water system can save more than $14,000 compared to a gas hot water (see example). In addition, these technologies are good for the planet. They use solar energy and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. There are many cost-effective options for using solar energy in the Pacific Northwest (see our article). Company ProfileWestern Solar Inc. specializes in designing and installing solar systems to conserve and reduce energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings.
