We were interested in having solar panels installed on our roof, so we submitted a request to Cascadia Solar (and others) in April. Dave from Cascadia Solar responded quickly with a preliminary proposal for a system that addressed our intent, including associated financial information (e.g. system cost and how much we would expect to save each year on electric bills, given our present electric rates and use). When the COVID restrictions were lifted to allow (late May), Dave came to our house to do a site evaluation, and made some small updates to the proposal. We were very impressed with his practical approach and how well the proposal met our intent (provide 90+% of our power needs, use quality components with guarantees, at a reasonable price).In mid-June, Cascadia Solar sent its team (Gene, Payton, and Ethan) to install the system. Team leader Gene was very helpful as we worked out details (e.g. where to mount the inverter, identifying a spot that worked well for us and them). The team also found a few unrelated items in the attic that needed repair (one roof rafter, a fan to vent connection, and an attic access panel) and fixed them (after asking) at no charge. They completed the installation in 3 consecutive days.The needed inspections were completed with no problems. The electrical inspector said their company always does quality work. Dave came over the following day to show us how the system works and what information is available through their application. Again, we were impressed with his practical and helpful approach.We couldnt be more pleased with Cascadia Solar. We highly recommend them to others considering solar installation.

We did a lot of research on solar systems and considered doing the panel installation ourselves after getting some sky high bids for the total job. Having been very happy with Frederickson Electric on a remodel we did we called to get an estimate on doing just the electrical portion of the job and learned that the solar portion of their business had become Cascadia Solar. Dave gave me a great bid on the electrical portion and was able to match the best panel and inverter prices I was able to find on my own. They ended up doing the entire project for us, at a very competitive price. Dave is super knowledgeable about the best component choices available. The shutdown delayed our project for a while but one benefit of that was our panels ended up being higher wattage than the original estimate, at the same price. The installation crew was highly professional and the system is now working perfectly. Highly recommended!

Cascadia Solar just completed the installation of a solar system at my house. They were really great to work with, explaining all the options carefully and completely, they were flexible enough to do things exactly the way we wanted, and they installed everything quickly (and did a beautiful job). Everything went without a hitch, except for a slight delay imposed by the Covid19 pandemic, when the installers weren't allowed to work. We are completely happy with our system, and completely happy with the way the design and installation went, and I would highly recommend that anyone thinking about getting a solar system talk to Cascadia.

Cascadia Solar has done two solar installations at our home. They are thorough, professional and great communicators. Throughout the projects, from concept to final design, pricing and installation it has been a great experience. On the latest 4.8 kilowatt addition to our prior 8 kilowatt system, the installation was quick, clean and very professionally done. The installers completed the project in three days and the panels were inspected and brought online within a week. I couldnt be happier with the working relationship with the Cascadia Solar folks. They do a great, professional job. I am looking forward to the next project with them - adding Tesla PowerWalls to my system. I highly recommend Cascadia Solar.

We contracted with Frederickson Electric to do the electrical wiring on the house we had built in 2015. We were immediately impressed with both the quality, efficiency, and thoroughness of their work. So, when it came time to think about adding a solar array to the house, Frederickson Electric was our first consideration. Cascadia Solar is the subsidiary of that company which handles the photovoltaic side of their business. Dave Campbell heads the organization and creates the proposals, contracts, and coordinates the procurement and installation of the equipment components. He also is responsible for attaining all of the necessary permit applications and scheduling the required inspections. Dave is knowledgeable in all facets of the solar industry and is adept in conveying and presenting information in a concise and friendly manner. He adds a personal touch to demystifying what can be a difficult subject to understand. He always took whatever time was necessary to ensure that my wife and I understood all of the various aspects of our solar project. We opted for a 9.3 kW system, which uses 30 Silfab SIL-310 modules, Solar Edge optimizers and a Solar Edge inverter. The system also sports an LG battery backup. We signed on in mid March 2020 and were in line for an April installation but in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Governor issued his 'Stay Home Stay Healthy' order and put Washington State into lock-down. This delayed the actual installation until mid May. The installation crew consisted of three employees of Frederickson Electric. The lead electrician on the job was Eugene (Gene), along with two helpers, Ethan and Payton, who installed the racking, solar panels, and ran the PV string wiring. Gene had been one of the electricians that had originally wired the house and I was happy that he was on the job again. The install took the better part of five days and went without a hitch. The workmanship was excellent and both my wife and I are very pleased and thankful we chose Cascadia Solar for our photovoltaic system. The Solar Edge inverter comes with a monitoring system which is both user friendly and fascinating to use. So far the solar panels have generated a high of 7.8 kW and one day the system produced over 53 kW.
