Description

Specialties

We are the oldest and most experienced installer of photovoltaic solar electric and solar hot water systems in the Puget Sound Region. We also install charging stations for electric vehicles.

History

Established in 2001.

Puget Sound Solar LLC (PSS) was founded by Jeremy Smithson and Pamela Burton with a vision of a green, sustainable future for the residents of Puget Sound. PSS is both a Washington General Electrical Contractor (License # PUGETSS920RH) and General Construction Contractor (License # PUGETSS932MU). PSS installed the Seattle’s first residential grid-​tied solar electric system in 2001 .

Since then we’ve installed over two megawatts of solar systems, amounting to over 43% of all photovoltaic systems in the Seattle City Light service area, and 10% of all such systems statewide. We have also rounded out our offerings to homeowners and small businesses by expanding to include electric vehicle support, and home energy assessments.

Today we employ over 30 employees dedicated to helping our customers’ secure a green-​powered and sustainable future for our region.

Jeremy S.

Business Owner

Jeremy Smithson (Founder and CEO) started Puget Sound Solar in 2001 with 30 years of construction contracting experience, and a desire to turn Seattle on to solar energy. Jeremy believes that our customers often follow a path similar to the one he took, starting out with solar daydreaming, then progressing to education on the subject, and eventually leading to action. In addition to leading the company he also does some teaching and speaking engagements about various aspects of solar energy, and experiments relentlessly with various solar, energy efficiency, and electric vehicle projects. In 2013 he organized and helped found the Solar Installers of Washington trade association to represent the interests of our industry and customers in Olympia.

Puget Sound Solar did a great job installing two different photovoltaic systems on my house. The 29 panels they installed are doing a great job covering my home’s energy needs and powering my electric car. Puget Sound Solar took the time to install everything correctly on my home. I haven’t had any malfunctions or roof leaks. The panels look great!

Puget Sound Solar installed my solar panels and did an excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves and helped me with making sure my information was all correct when getting my first rebate from Seattle City Light. It is so nice not getting an electric bill anymore and getting a refund instead each year. GO PUGET SOUND SOLAR YOU ROCK. Carol B. on North 49th Street.

After a proverbial light bulb went off in my mind realizing it was time to go solar, I started shopping around and was most impressed with the staff at Puget Sound Solar. From meeting with the sales manager, project manager, front office staff, and the installers, they were all skilled professionals wanting to understand our family’s needs, answering our many questions thoroughly to make sure we understood all our options.
Now, nearly four months after having roof top solar, we are generating 75% of our home’s electricity from the sun (our system is 7700 kW with 28 panels), radically reducing our carbon footprint, and thereby helping to fight climate change.
The owner, Jeremy, is also a tireless consumer advocate at the state legislature, working to prevent fossil fuel lobbyists from blocking attempts to penalize solar customers. I encourage you to give them a call if you are considering solar — and you should be: With all the local, state, and federal incentives, our system will pay for itself in 5 years and over a 20 year use cycle will generate approximately $ 20,000 in income.

I had them install a 4.56kW solar system on our house and they did a great job. Professional, organized and easy to work with through the whole process. I especially enjoyed their no-​pressure sales approach and their willingness to talk through various options. They even talked me out of adding more panels because the production would not be worth the cost. To me that’s great service — putting the best interests of the customer above short-​term profit.

Puget Sound Solar did an energy evaluation and an upgrade for us. They did very well from beginning to end, communicating consistently and accurately, and doing what they said. When we encountered a few minor problems, these were rectified quicly without any fuss. They also helped guide us through the entire process. Dealing with them was a pleasure!
Our main contact was Corey at their Rainier Avenue location.
We just got our first electric bill since the upgrade, and our electricity usage is half what it was-​AND we are more comfortable!

These guys installed my charging station for our electrical car and I was so impressed. It was a big job since our garage is not attached and our house is old but they were neat and tidy and even fixed some other things that really needed fixing. Very polite, and thorough and professional.

We’re repeat customers. On the recommendation of a solar design consultant [Chris Herman of Winter Sun Design] we hired them in 2008 to install a solar hot water system. Installation was quick and efficient, and we immediately noticed a drastic drop in our gas bill, especially in the summer. So when we had to replace our gas furnace this fall, we thought of moving away from frack-​happy natural gas to a system that could employ solar energy. Our gas heating company offered a hybrid system that required gas furnace backup and so did two others – all smelled of corporate slickness. But we remembered the folks at Puget Sound Solar and called them. Hah! Lower prices, better guarantees, and seamless interaction with other needed upgrades made the choice an easy one.
Unfortunately for us, PSS has become so successful that they were booking dates 8 to 10 weeks out, so we had to wait a few weeks for our new heaters to be installed, and the solar panels had to wait until we could finish insulating the attic. But now the system is complete and working very well. I love watching the electric meter spin backward on sunny days!
Aside from doing high-​quality work, these people deserve a lot of credit for tirelessly and selflessly promoting solar energy throughout the region. Their busy work schedule testifies to their high standards and integrity.
