Contrary to belief, solar energy is not only effective during the day or brighter seasons such as the spring and summer. Long sunny summer days from May to October provide plenty of sunlight, with daylight hours reaching from 5 AM to 10 PM.
With Oregon and Washington's excellent net metering programs, solar produced during the day is fed into the grid and during times of low solar solar production (such as at night), that energy will be implemented back into your system.Through improved technology and energy efficiency, panels can produce even on cloudy days.

Solar works very well here in the Northwest. Even taking into account our cloudy weather throughout much of the year, solar is our most abundant renewable energy resource. In fact, the Portland/Vancouver area receives as much annual solar energy as the national average. Another reason solar works in Southwestern Washington and Portland is because we have long, mild summer days which make up for our cloudy winters.
Here are examples of solar panel installation projects that we've done around town. As your local solar power installers, we service cities and towns throughout southwest Washington and northwest Oregon. Our professional background in designing and installing residential and commercial solar power systems helps us ensure that your system not only performs well but looks great.
There are several financial incentives in place that are designed to encourage homes and business to generate clean solar power. Most incentives are state specific but there is one incentive that applies nationwide. The federal government has put forth an incredible incentive for those considering solar power.

Our experience with Premier Solar NW was excellent from the initial meeting to the finishing touches. We had some bumps along the way dealing with PGE and county inspectors but Cliff was always right on top of things and made us feel very supported. I would highly recommend Premier Solar NW.

We had a complex solar installation on our home due to a steep roof that also had concrete tiles. The Premier Solar NW team were able to come up with a safe and creative solution to the challenges and we are now enjoying using cleaner energy! Thanks to everyone for not giving up on this challenge. Note that we are still awaiting the installation of a backup battery due to shortages that have put them on backorder. We look forward to having that installed by Premier Solar NW when ready as well.

Though I did not choose Premier Solar NW for my solar system, their salesman and engineer Dan Tracy is without doubt the most professional, most well organized, and most well spoken person I've encountered on my solar system journey. I vastly appreciated his level of involvement in tuning my solar system proposal. My reason for not choosing Premier Solar NW was unrelated to their proposal, and if I had decided to proceed with Premier Solar NW, I'm certain I'd have been a happy customer. Thanks Dan.

Premier was top notch throughout the entire process of bidding and installing our 10kwh solar panel system, new main smart panel, new main power line, new meter, ground rods, and StorEdge Inverter. The salesmen Dan presented well and answered all our questions. The company owner Cliff was proactive in walking us through all our options, including the types of panels, financing and how using Puget Sound Credit Union would get us a great rate for the long term and how EnerBank short-term financing would get us through until the federal tax credits were received. This part was a little complicated

Premier works with you, as a partner, from the early sales process to after the install is completed and ongoing to ensure a system and installation that meets your needs.
Dan was incredibly quick (less than 1 hour) to answer sales inquiries about their solar installation and gave informed recommendations on battery backup vs. generator backup questions. Even during such a busy time as the final two quarters of 2019, Premier was at my house doing the installation in a few weeks after signing up. Their installation team were professional, clean, and efficient. They gave choices on the equipment

I have honestly never had a better experience with a home installer or remodeler or anything. Quick, forthright, responsive to all of my questions and concerns. They were proactive at every step. We had 40 panels installed in two days. The county inspection was done the following day and the PUD had the net meter installed two days later. We had solar working in FIVE DAYS!!! The system that they install allows us to monitor our panels and to know how much electricity they're generating. And the products they use enrolled us in an 8-year WA program to put money back in our pockets.

After reading the reviews, I gave you 2 stars because I wanted to make my own decision. After discussing how you do business, & working with me on the contract wording, I gave you another 2 stars. Then I wanted to see if you would get the 5th star ( all 5 stars ) after the installation. 1) They worked with me on my price to where I understood what I was being charged and why. 2) I liked your crew. Ryan and Devon were very knowledgeable and professional. They put up my 18 panels in less than a day and the installation looked great. 3) Ryan & Devon throughout the day answered questions or
