Whidbey Sun & Wind

off 9th PV

Everyone we worked with was just great. They were helpful, friendly, very skilled, and seemed to love what they were doing. We're grateful this company is here!

The A+ Team!

The whole Whidbey Sun & Wind team was amazing. Paul worked with me to come up with a good system design and communicated clearly. Brett, Kyle and Adam did a beautiful installation, and Golda wired up the whole shebang, thoughtfully, positioning conduit and boxes in just the right locations so that everything looked perfect. And Lori and Paul followed up to make sure I understood the system and had all the paperwork figured out. It is rare to find a company where everything and everyone works so well together. We are so pleased with the outcome and are thrilled to have a solar system producing clean energy!

OH Ground Based system

Being new and unknowing about how solar systems work and the incentives associated with ownership, I found WSW very helpful and patient explaining the solar program to me. When problems arose they were there to correct the problem (failed inverter).

Up and Running

I'm very satisfied with the process and the product. I've dealt with numerous contractors over thirty years, and Whidbey Sun and Wind is a very professional business. I needed a little clarification in some communications, but nothing caused me any grief. I would recommend this contractor to anyone.

Awesome

I agree with all of the other glowing reviews. We are COMPLETELY satisfied with our installation and support. We faced some challenges installing our system into a house built in 1906 and Whidbey Sun & Wind went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. Absolute Pros! I also recommend you check out the Community Energy Challenge to do an energy assessment.

Wonderful ground mount PV array installation

Working with Whidbey Sun & Wind was a great experience. Mark Anderson was our main contact and project manager. He was patient throughout the sales cycle, attentive to our needs, and thoughtful about the design of the system. He responded rapidly to any questions we had and came up with a very creative solution to the fence requirement for a ground mount system. He even came on-site when the installation started and helped dig! Adam and Kyle did the bulk of the installation and they did a great job. The did everything: manually trenching, building forms, constructing the ground mount, attaching the panels, and cleaning up. The array looks super! Golda, the electrician, worked wonders routing the power cable though our garage and hooking the array into our existing subpanel. And on top of that, the array is performing very well. We are very happy!

Great Job

The entire experience with Whidbey Sun and Wind was very pleasant. From the bid process with Mark to the install, everyone was pleasant and professional. I can't imagine why anyone would not install solar. It really is a no brainer.

Couldn't ask for better

Every part of the process was top-notch. They really know their stuff, and walked us through it seamlessly. I wish all contractors were like them.

Absolutely the Best!

From the initial consult to the final installation, everything was done professionally. The installation team came in and were done in a couple of days. The system is performing to exactly the specs outlined by Paul. Several of our neighbors are now working with Whidbey Sun and Wind. The meter is running and we are making MONEY!! A 5 rating in every respect.

PV System, Camano Island

Whidbey Sun and Wind did a timely and professional job in installing our PV system. We, and the electrical inspectors, were very impressed with the total installation. They have been very good at staying in contact with us to make sure everything is performing to high standards. We have been enjoying the wi-fi monitoring system that was included in our package.

Solar Panels

The installation was absolutely fabulous, and we are so excited about becoming part of the solution to global warming. We needed to get the installation done quickly, and WS&W did everything to make that happen. They are so efficient! Paul Wilkerson was wonderful, so were the installers. We will have a "solar party" in about a month so our entire neighborhood can come learn about solar power. It's a pleasure to be able to write such a positive review; rare these days! Thanks again for everything!

Solar System for the ReinShadow Horse Arena-Greenbank

I built the horse arena in 2007 but at the time the costs did not seem to have a decent R.O.I. Reading a business article recently I realized how much the economics have changed, including the labor costs has come down for various reasons including efficiency of scale. The installation in Nov of 2014 was a very enjoyable experience, working with Whidbey Sun and Wind, especially Paul, was a pleasure. The installers to a person really were skilled and full of so much knowledge. I had so many questions surprised they did not kick me out of my own arena. AND at the end of the day watching the production meter just gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling! HIGHLY RECVOMMEND W.S.W. Jerry -Greenbank, WA

Totally Satisfied

An excellent experience and smooth install. We are building a home on Whidbey Island and Paul Dickerson came out to the property to assess whether we had proper exposure and to let us know what trees would impinge on the array. He even helped us site the house. He informed us of our various choices, and we went with a wholly Washington-made array and inverters. Nice to support the local economy as well as to benefit from the Washington State program that will now pay us for all the energy we make (regardless of how much we use to run our house.) Whidbey Sun and Wind worked with our architect on where the panels would be mounted, and they worked with our builder on timing the install. The array is large, but is barely noticeable. And it's already cranking away, despite the fact it's winter here in the Pacific Northwest! Great job. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Whidbey Sun & Wind to anyone!

Competent, Caring, and Efficient

A well developed plan which was coupled with a competitive bid was used to help us understand what would be happening if we had a system installed on our roof. Our biggest concern was impact on roof leaks. Turns out their system for attachment was fail proof. Once we decided to make the investment the team came in and got to work. They are a good group who work very well together and play by the rules to assure they meet building and electrical codes. They are all local folks who were raised on Whidbey and the local area. This firm has been on Whidbey for many years and has a solid reputation as straight shooting and professional.

The Professionals

Kelly and his crew installed our first PV system in 2006, a 4.56 KW power plant. We ave bee so pleased with our interactions with them, that we had them back to install another 3.78 KW system. They are always well prepared and thorough.

no surprises

Everything planned and reviewed unfolded with no surprises. We have had our new system in place less than a month and it appears to be operating as expected but we can say that getting to this point, we have been very pleased. This is a reputable company for good reason.

installation and follow-up

After determining that our house and shop building were ideally located for an array of solar panels, we contacted WSW and went forward with the project. The entire project was professionally executed with-in three days, State inspector came within the week, and PSE was on site two days later, the installed the meters and we are now proud to tell our friends and neighbors that we have a system that we have dreamt of for years. Anacortes is a leader in the communities of solar installations and we salute those who possess a vision for the future

Couldn't have been better!!!

Great people to work with...everyone we encountered! Mark (owner) explained everything very clearly, installers were hard working, neat, cleaned up after them selves, very professional thru out!! Would HIGHLY recommend them to others!

Helen Bee and Carl de Boor on Orcas Island

We were very pleased with the entire process, except that the electrical inspector delayed the inspection by a week, which delayed the entire enterprise. The folks who did the installation were extremely professional and speedy. We are already obsessed with reading the meter every day to see how many kilowatt hours we have generated.

Menges solar install

Quality of workmanship was outstanding an the customer service was excellent. The installation was scheduled ahead of time but during the process there were a few parts that arrive late which pushed the installation a week beyond completion date. I am overall very happy with the installation and service provided! Thank you Whidbey Sun and Wind.

La Conner area home solar installation

Our neighbors had just finished an installation by Whidbey so I had talked to them about their experience. Staff provided detailed information about every aspect, and took all my questions and suggestions seriously. We only got bogged down in what kind of 10-year old metal roof we had and what kind of supports to use. I had to do some research and phoning on my own, but it all confirmed Whidbey's original educated guess. Paperwork and PSC meters all went in without fuss or delay. The online monitoring of our production is an excellent feature.

Excellent experience

Mark was very friendly and helpful-- he came back twice to answer questions and reassess our sun exposure after we a few trees removed. The installation crew was extremely friendly and professional. Everything went smoothly and now we are raking-in the kilowatt hours. If you have the up-front cash to install a system it is a no-brainer decision. Do it.
