Power Northwest review

Positive reviews:

“Power Northwest was great to work with on my solar project. They got me the best rebates to make the project feasible on my limited budget. They really worked with my challenging hip roof space to maximize my solar production. They carefully shepherded the project to its conclusion and guaranteed their work. They are a local company, committed to providing excellent customer service.” – Karenangeline ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ February 28, 2024

“We had a great experience, exploring all the possibilities of solar with Power NW. It’s obvious Chris knows the landscape (and all the details)! With his help, we determined our specific location was not a good fit for solar, but there was no pressure to buy. Just a ton of helpful information, timely responses to questions, and clear conversations. We would highly recommend working with Chris and Power NW to see if solar power makes sense for you.” – eweeman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ August 13, 2025

Negative reviews:

“I really wanted to do business with this company. However, my decision to go with a competitor boiled down to the way Power Northwest failed to execute on some very basic practices that all other companies follow. PN provided a schematic estimate of the PV panel layout on my roof based on the Lidar data all solar companies use to evaluate solar radiance on a roof. They identified an array that looked attractive at a competitive price. However, they could not provide all the logistical details that would need to be identified before a final design could be developed. Missing from their quote were details about how cabling would run, how the system would be connected to house wiring and the grid, where electrical junction and breaker boxes would be placed, whether external conduits would be required, the exact number of PV panels that would fit on my roof along with the associates total estimated annual (guaranteed) production. In order to understand all the missing details, I requested a site visit so a technician could answer my questions and create a final design along with a final cost. Where PN lost me was when they demanded that I pay $1,000 to get them to do a site visit. What really killed the deal was when they told me that I would lose the $1,000 if I did not elect to enter a contract to purchase and install the PV system they designed prior to a site visit. Essentially, they demanded $1,000 to perform a function that NO CONTRACTOR in my 35 years of experience dealing and contracting with construction contractors would ever do. The reason I was told that the $1,000 was required was because they were “full”, which I took to mean that they had no capacity to perform a final design. Based on m y experience, I must conclude that this company is employing unethical business practices. I’d advise that anyone interested in contracting with them look somewhere else.” – mbalenpe ⭐☆☆☆☆ March 22, 2024

“These guys have got it down, from start to finish. They walk you through the entire process. There is an app that allows you to follow the progress. Very communicative, from Beginning to end. Everyone was polite and worked hard. Really enjoyed working with Power Northwest! A huge shout out to the team…Erik, Jonny, Ted, Han, Jose, Patrick and Alayna! All very professional and friendly.” – Carrie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ January 14, 2025

“Power Northwest did an excellent job on my 7+ kW solar system in September 2024…from the sales process to the installation process to the commissioning process. Everyone with whom I interacted was very professional and easily answered all my questions. I received quotes from 5 companies and I chose Power Northwest because it just felt right. I don’t think you can go wrong if you choose them, too.” – Doug T. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ October 25, 2024

Negative reviews:

“I called this company 2 weeks ago and set an appointment with Mike Perkins from this company for 10:00 this morning. He sent me a calendar invitation. I live in Grants Pass. Of course he had my address. I stayed home from work for this appointment. At 10:10 AM, as I waited, I received a text message from this guy, “We’re in Portland and you’re too far for us to come – we suggest you try a company in Eugene”. What? I replied asking him, “Didn’t we have an appt set for this morning at 10:00″? No response. It is not only irresponsible for this person to set an appt with a potential customer, knowing their address, but wholly inconsiderate of my time and money.” – Stephanie C. ⭐☆☆☆☆ October 4, 2022

“Called the number on their website tried to speak with someone about them being a sunpower dealer as they are listed on Sunpowers website person on the phone said we are not interested. Called back and he said the same thing and hung up again. Running a business like this I would steer clear.” – Michael S. ⭐☆☆☆☆ December 27, 2022

Positive reviews:

“Power NW is a fantastic company. I’m honestly saddened I couldn’t continue my employment there. The ownership/management is top notch and are great people. They are building a wonderful company with outstanding workplace culture. They care about their employees and afford them every opportunity to succeed.. Applying to work for this company could never be a mistake. If you are chosen for employment there, grab on with both hands and run with it! You will not be disappointed. As a sales consultant, making $100,000 plus per year is an easily attainable income. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!” – Solar Sales Consultant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ December 16, 2024

Negative reviews:

“One apparent owner manager trying to do and be involved in too many aspects of the operation. Very nice but ultimately too disorganized resulting in confusion, lost information, and stagnation. Decent quality craftsmanship but more of a passing through type company than a long term landing spot” – Residential Solar Designer and Consultant ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ August 27, 2022

Positive reviews:

“Power Northwest did a great job installing our back up solar system at our cabin near Mt Hood. They were easy to work with, friendly and definitley knew their stuff. The installation went without a glitch and we are happy solar users.” – Robert A. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ August 2023

“PowerNW is a great local company. They do excellent work. PowerNW installed our TESLA whole house batteries to our existing solar panels. The system works as expected, there was a grid outage that did not affect us, we kept running as normal. The workers and everyone was easy to work with. Overall a great experience and we give them a 5 out 5 rating. We recommend them to anyone.” – Don L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ June 2023

Positive reviews:

“Power Northwest was an amazing partner in getting our PV installed on our house. They were very professional, showed up on time, walked us through the steps, communicated throughout the process. Marie Moore, Chris S, Chris F took a lot of efforts to make sure we were informed about progress, schedules and the timing during the installation. Having their help navigate all the requirements to get the installation permitted and approved by the city was also so valuable. Can not thank the team enough. If you go with Power Northwest for your installation project you will not be disappointed.” – Nathan Travanti ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ October 2025

“Power Northwest was wonderful to work with! Erik kept us up to-date on everything, and answered every question that came up. When we had a hiccup with our inspection they were able to rectify the issue within the day! Our install team of Tedd, Patrick, Jose, Zach, and Han were absolutely amazingly efficient, and respectful! Every single person we spoke with was communicative about every step of the processes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for solar installers!” – Tatiana Mattos ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ October 2025

Negative reviews:

“I called the company to set up a time for a price quote. The person ghosted me during the meeting time slot, so I called them to try and see what was going on. They hadn’t prepared anything for the meeting and seemed to have forgotten about it, so we rescheduled for a later date and I sent them some additional information to help expedite the process. The next time slot rolls around and the person ghosts me again. I again call them to see what’s going on, and they said they weren’t able to complete the quote due to some missing information that had in fact already been sent over. I direct them to the info and we reschedule again.” – Heather ⭐⭐☆☆☆ November 2023
