Cascade Solar

Pinnacle Solar NW

We recommend Pinnacle Solar NW without reservation. In a detailed six-company comparison, a homeowner documented that Pinnacle priced one-third lower than regional installers while specifying premium REC panels (other installers avoided them due to cost). Reviews show 36 mentions of workmanship qual

Sunward Power

Sunward Power delivers a level of transparency and follow-through that's rare in residential solar.

Energy Solutions earns our recommendation without reservation. One homeowner hired them after a frustrating stretch with other contractors, including one whose ladder fell off the roof mid-quote, and called the difference "everything was suddenly great." Another took two full years to decide, and th

Prestige Power Systems

Prestige Power Systems gets solar installations right the first time. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found precisely one complaint about workmanship, one about project management, and zero about sales pressure. The owners, Tamara and Sean, run jobs themselves rather than dispatching crews and dis

Wise Solar

Wise Solar earned a 5.0 on workmanship across 32 reviews, with zero complaints about the physical installation. We found installers who painted every pipe transition to match the customer's red tile roof and coral stucco, something that stood out when neighbors compared their own systems (which sudd

Power Northwest

Power Northwest installed a full solar array and battery backup for over a hundred homeowners without a single complaint about the quality of their work. We analyzed reviews spanning early installations through recent battery retrofits and found the same pattern repeating: projects finish on time, c

A&R Solar

We analyzed hundreds of customer experiences and found that people who chose A&R for their long track record and design expertise consistently reported it was worth the premium. One homeowner r

Sunshine Saves

Sunshine Saves stands out for something rare in solar: installers who actually listen. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a consistent pattern of reps (Jamie, Ryan, Xavier) who build systems around what you need rather than what's easiest to sell. One homeowner researched solar for months befor

DPI Solar

DPI Solar delivers systems that still run strong years after installation. One winery owner had a fuse blow four years in, called DPI that morning, and the crew showed up the same day to restore power. Another homeowner reported zero regrets after two years, crediting Josh for taking time upfront to

LightHarvest Solar

LightHarvest Solar specializes in van, RV, and off-grid systems, and they treat every DIY project like it deserves an engineering consult.

Upliftic Energy

Upliftic Energy delivers clean solar installs without drama. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship or follow-up support.

Solar Energy Solutions is a safe pick for rooftop systems and pool heaters. We analyzed dozens of reviews, and one owner told us their 2007 system has cranked out 25 megawatts without a single hiccup. That's the rule here, not the exception. Eighteen reviewers mentioned post-sale support, and we cou

Green Ridge Solar doesn't oversell or pressure, and that restraint shows up in everything they do. We found dozens of reviews from homeowners who talked to six or more installers before choosing Green Ridge because the sales process felt informative rather than theatrical. One customer spent five ye

Purelight handles the basics well but doesn't deliver the standout experience top installers provide. We analyzed thousands of customer reviews and found a company that gets panels on roofs efficiently, with crews that clean up after themselves and electricians who know what they're doing. One homeo

Sunlight Solar Energy delivers reliable installations but struggles with post-sale support when things go wrong. In one case, a homeowner with a failed inverter spent six weeks calling every available number before finally texting the company owner directly to get a response. We found 103 reviews pr

EC Electric's electricians know their trade. We found 8 reviews praising the quality of completed work, and not a single complaint about technical skill. One customer watched the team replace an entire electrical panel slightly under budget despite last-minute requests, and when a single outlet fail

Imagine Energy is a gamble you shouldn't take. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a company plagued by project management failures that leave customers waiting months past promised dates with little communication. One homeowner signed in June 2022 with a September install estimate, heard nothin

Blue Raven Solar is not worth your time or money. We analyzed thousands of reviews and found a company whose operations have collapsed under its own growth, leaving customers stranded with damaged roofs, faulty panels, and support teams that ghost them for months. One homeowner came home to a solar

Smiley Electric delivers solid workmanship but charges roughly double what competitors do. One homeowner paid over $300 for a dryer outlet that was miswired and melted the plug. Another was billed for more than 4 hours of labor to replace a single GFCI breaker and install one light fixture, jobs tha

Infinity Solar USA talks a good game, but we found they fail far too many customers after the contract is signed. One homeowner paid financing on a $45,000 system for nearly two years while still receiving $200 monthly electric bills because the company installed too few panels, then ghosted them fo
