Whidbey Sun & Wind review

Positive reviews:

“I attended a solar energy presentation from a Seattle company at the Indian reservation. . I learned enough to consider installation but It sounded like a time share presentation. I was encouraged to buy now. A one hour assessment of my house was made and a price of installation was given. I called Whidbey Sun and Wind for a second opinion because it is a local company. The agent was very thorough in assessing our home for solar energy. It is a two story house with an unobstructed view South and a roof with concrete shakes. In a few days I received a very impressive written proposal with several options. We chose the 8.4 kw option because it had the possibility of being paid off by savings in 6 years. The system is larger and less expensive than the system proposed by the first company. Installation began in February and was completed in 5 days despite somewhat rainy weather and the problem of working on a second story roof with slick fragile tiles. There were also cathedral ceilings below the roof that added to the complexity of the installation. The installers were excellent. Neighbors on both sides have expressed desires to install solar in the future. Adam Wundrow supervised the project from proposal to completion and spent many hours solving a computer glitch that was interfering with the monitoring system. I just received my first Puget Sound Energy bill since the installation. The three year average May bill (since we had installed a hybrid water heater) is $243.16. This bill is $93.83 with a 5 day longer billing cycle and 3 degrees colder average temperature than the previous year. I look forward to watching the electrical and tax savings and incentives lead to payment of the original cost of the system. My insurance company did not raise my premium because of the installation.” – j637190 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May 15, 2017

“In 2015, I had 48 x 280W panels installed on my shop and just recently (Jan 2025), I had WSW install another 21 x 430W. Paul was extremely helpful in engineering both systems that have worked flawlessly. The installers were excellent and professional. Adam and Kyle both worked on my systems 10 years apart. Those two and several others, have been with WSW for a long time, employee loyalty we rarely see anymore. Says a lot about ownership, thanks Paul.” – Larry G ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ March 4, 2025

“Installing our solar panels was a great experience at every step along the way with this company. The initial site visit and consult was very professional. The installers were thoughtful and timely. They explained the system well. Every person in this company was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them if you are even thinking about getting solar. They have been in the business for a long time and it shows.” – scott m ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ January 31, 2025

“Let me start by saying this is only the second review on a company I have ever submitted. The first was a siding replacement project where the contractor was so amazing and this one of a complete opposite experience. Our contract was signed in early June 2021 with an estimated completion of October 2021. THE PROJECT WASNT COMPLETED UNTIL May 2022! I have never seen so much finger pointing and excuses in my life. I was told that the batteries set for my job were used on another and now were unavailable. I actually inquired about cancelling at this point and was told I would be responsible for charges and their time to date. Keep in mind you pay over half the cost of the job upfront so they have you over a barrel. They didn’t have the correct electrical panel so I had to settle with a panel three times the size needed that shows right in the bedroom. Oh, read your contract they are not responsible for drywall damage. They tracked so much mud across the carpet coming in and out with no regard. I guess my new inverter was faulty so they ‘trouble shot’ many while leaving me without power for the day. We were often out of town and were given dates we needed to be here for inspections and such only to change the day of while blaming PSE and or everyone else. Then when they needed access I was forced to give access to our home while not being there and they felt it was also ok to give access to inspectors and such without my permission nor being there themselves. A very poorly run company with no regard for its customers. The responses I received from my complaints were the most condescending, rude, and arrogant responses that I dont even understand how a company run like this can stay in business. This is our second solar system and we chose them even though they were more expensive than other bids based on false promises of excellent workmanship and service; buyer beware.” – Jay Solverson ⭐☆☆☆☆ August 2, 2022

Positive reviews:

“I highly recommend the good folks at Whidbey Sun & Wind. The configuration the designed was just what I was looking for, after another out of state based solar company offered me an inferior configuration, The installation was done in one day. After a year I couldn’t be happier with my rooftop solar system.41 years ago I bought my property with solar in mind, and I designed a passive solar heated home, using a solar storage wall. That made me an early adopter, with some self taught solar expertise.” – Eric T. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ February 6, 2026

“The team a Whidbey Sun & Wind were great. Excellent customer service, professional staff, and exactly what we were hoping for. While we live in a place that doesn’t have the best exposure solar was important to us. Paul fully explained the process, what our anticipated savings would be and cost. The team was great to work with and the small issue we experienced was resolved quickly. Paul responded on the weekend and was out to our house that day to assess and resolve. I highly recommend them.” – Jaime S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ December 16, 2017

Negative reviews:

“These people estimated the number of solar panels poorly. I run out of electrical bank for two months every year. When I asked for an estimate to add more solar panels, the price was outrageous. Be careful with these people. They are greedy. I would not have hired them if I knew what kind of poor job they were going to do.” – Larry H. ⭐☆☆☆☆ May 11, 2024

“I have waited to write the review in case there were any problems later. NO problems 8 months after installation and we have produced enough power to not buy electricity since array was installed. OUTSTANDING customer service and prompt replies to all communications. Not the speediest or most exacting installation crew around, but they did a good job overall. Would definitely recommend and use their services again!” – Jennifer L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ January 2014

Positive reviews:

“Amazing company to work with and very competitive prices. I got quotes from off and on island. Some came in at almost double the price of Whidbey Sun & Wind. The entire process was very easy, and the team even uncovered a rebate that saved me a ton of money. So glad I hired them, and I am ecstatic about the results. Their work speaks for itself.” – Jim Imlah ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ August 2025

“Fantastic service. Professional, friendly, helpful. Their solar installation costs less than big companies on the mainland, for comparable system. We are completely happy with their work, and love having solar.” – Susan Rodiek ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ December 16, 2017
