  Greenlight Solar installed solar panels onto my home three and a half years ago. They did a fantastic job. One of my inverters went bad awhile ago and they took forever to replace it even though it was covered by warranty. For the money I spent I expected more.

  I originally made contact with Greenlight Solar at a Home and Garden show in Portland. I kept in contact with them for about 6 months until I finally moved into my home. I have a relatively large property and had recently installed a brand new roof. After speaking with them, I decided that I didn't want the system to be intalled on the roof but rather wanted a ground based system. This type of installation is a little bit more expensive and difficult because because electrical has to be trenched and an entire Ground Based Mounting system has to be installed, which required strong footings. A roof install is much easier but you are limited to angle and direction of the roof. And cleaning is a hassle because it's on the roof and not to mention it's on the roof, so if you have any roof issues you have to possibly remove the panels to get access to the roof. I'm very happy with going with a ground based system. I can access everything easily and clean the panels easily and no need to climb anything. Greenlight took care of everything. The took care of the planning, permits, electrical, and even setup the appointments for the building inspector to sign off the Electrical permit. They took care of everything! I'm a little bit of a stickler for things being perfect. They came back multiple times until I was satisfied, that the look of the panels was completely level. Trust me, that took multiple man hours of extra effort. Not once did they complain, they simply scheduled staff to ensure I was completely happy. Awesome, Customer Service.....and I mean AWESOME. If I every have any issues, I simply call them up and they will take care of anything. If I remember right, I have a 25 year warranty, so it's pretty great. The Panels and Microinverters were made in Washington. With 40 panels I'm generating around 55 kwh on average so far after a few weeks (Beginning of August). I only had one truly sunny day and the rest was either slightly overcast or so much smoke from the local fires. Time will truly see how efficent the panels will be on average. The panels don't need direct sun to start generating power, but when they are in direct sunlight it makes a huge difference. They set me up with financing, but in reality I only needed it for a couple of months until I sold the home that I moved from. You can use their financing or you can take out your own and use it as a tax write off on a second mortgage. What makes going with solar a great move is the incentives from Washington. I didn't go with a Battery Backup at this moment, but will do that in the future. I'm gong to be home way more often now that I am retiring in this area, which means my power usage will go way up. It only makes sense to take advantage of Solar Power. I couldn't be happier with how the installation went and they way I can access my power generation because of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) either on my computer network or my phone app. Thanks Again to Greenlight Solar! Update: 7 months after: Tax Time - this applies to federal taxes only. I was going to owe $17,600 in Federal Taxes because of Capital Gains from the sale of a few stocks.... Then the Turbo Tax question of Solar came up and I put in the amount that I paid for the project. My bill due dropped to $1670 dollars. So, I got $15K back already within the first tax year. Also, March has been the most power generated within the first year. I generated 1,454.52 KwH for the entire month. Starting in March to Sept, I expect to be my high solar generation months.

  I just had a 12kw system installed by Greenlight Solar and they did a great job. Dave Wood was a great salesperson and clearly explained everything. Their installers and office people were also outstanding. I had three different quotes for this job, and Greenlight Solar has proven to be the wise choice.
