"SolTerra did an absolutely fabulous job and has been a pleasure to work with. :-) We initially contacted them over a year ago for an estimate so that we could plan for our installation, get a few estimates, and compare technologies. After doing exactly that, we reached back out to them to move forward with our installation; everything SolTerra had in their proposal (which had three energy options) reflected just what we were after: the latest Enphase micro-interters, 400W Solaria panels, Enphase control systems, LG batteries, and very good warranties. Throughout the entire process, Kevin was there to answer any questions that came up. Once we decided to move forward, SolTerra put us on the schedule and kept us updated on the tentative start date. We were initially looking at starting in June and actually started at the beginning of August - not bad given the disruptions of the pandemic. When the day arrived, so did SolTerra with 33 solar panels, mounting hardware, and various other system components. The installation of the mounting rails and panels happened at the same time as most of the electrical system installation - after 5 days the panels were installed and the majority of the battery system and Enphase control systems were installed as well. There were a couple delays due to a defective control board (which took a few weeks to obtain a replacement), but even while waiting for the replacement the SolTerra electrician and team finished up every part of the installation they could and scheduled the necessary inspections. By the beginning of September, we were all set and waiting for PSE to drop by to approve the installation and throw the switch to turn on the system. Throughout the installation, the electrician and crew were very communicative, keeping me updated on the progress they made each day and the timeline for inspections and any associated updates. I particularly appreciated the electrician's updates when the defective control board was discovered, and that he provided me with lots of details each day as he installed new components or made alterations. The end result was a beautiful system, from panel arrays to batteries to control systems and conduit - it was all very polished and showed professional engineering design and high-quality installation. After the system was operational, Kevin came to the house to provide a full walk-through of the system, components, and the related Enphase Enlighten app and its features. At the end of his visit, I had copies of all the plans, manuals, approvals, permits, and warranties, plus a complete understanding of my system and its indicators - I was one happy, informed customers. I was also really pleased that the SolTerra crew came right out when a small leak appeared from a vent that was jostled by the installation (the solar panel installation probably moved the old vent just a little bit). Kevin and Neil had a crew out the day after I contacted them and made certain that the vent and all nearby solar mount points were extra-sealed - the leak was completely resolved. I really, really appreciated their promptness and how they took the time to ensure there was no potential for leaks from the solar install - they stand by their products, crew, and customers completely. I would definitely recommend SolTerra to anybody considering a solar installation - they have a top-notch crew and use the best-in-class materials to provide a long-lasting, turn-key installation. I'll even be reaching out to them if we decide to expand out battery storage. :-)"

"After contacting NW Natural Lighting, Dawn came to our house (on a weekend, which was nice) to do a consultation, explaining how solartubes work, helping us understand where and how they could have the most impact, and providing recommendations for where to install them and how many to install. Ours is a bit of an unusual case because we were installing the solartubes in bedrooms, but they explained that we could put dimmers in to close them at night. The installation had to be booked a month or two out because they're booked pretty far out, but the installers showed up on time and did a great job on the installation. I think our building is a little tricky to work with because the roof is pretty steep and the ceiling is lathe and plaster, but they got the solartubes in with only one extra hole in the ceiling (we pretty much end up with an extra hole in the wall or ceiling anytime anyone does work on our place). The additional light is great, and the fixtures blend in pretty well with the ceilings."

"I am super happy with my experience with Exact Electric. I found the team responsive and knowledgeable. Erin was our onsite contact and she took every opportunity she could to try to be creative in getting our wiring in without damaging the walls. The team worked hard to be accommodating as it was a large project. The new lighting they installed met our needs and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results."

"I want to thank Sundance Energy team (Doug, John, & Adam) for a job well done. Installation of Mitsubishi ductless units went smoothly and looks great, cleaned up whatever mess made, and most important, work within quoted price (no surprises). Doug also did the paperwork for the rebates. The two inspectors (electrical and mechanical) told me that the work completed was done very well. Yes, I will definitely recommend Sundance Energy."

"All my interactions with this company were easy and pleasant. They were prompt, professional, informative, and reasonably-priced. When the lights continued to flicker after an initial visit, the owner of the company came to take another look, replaced a breaker and didn't send an invoice until several months later, just to be sure that the problem had been fixed. I will use this company again!

"We picked EcoStar after interviewing four bidders all of whom seemed capable of the job to replace or 30yo wood deck with a composite Trex deck. We liked that they were Trex Pro certified and could start right away and put enough people on the job to get it done quickly. Also that Asef, the head guy at the Seattle office came to our place and discussed with knowledgeable detail what would be done. Deck was completed as expected excepting for a few days delay to get a railing segment and a length of facia board from their suppliers. We love the deck and feel it has enhanced our house value!"

"I was recently seeking a contractor on Angi for an urgent interior paint project at my home with quick turnaround time. This bedroom paint project included wall paint (2 colors; 1 accent wall), wall baseboard trim repair + paint, door trim repair + paint, door paint, and a plumbing panel replacement + paint. When I posted the request on Angi, Eugene from Honeycomb Construction called me within a minute after posting (Wow!). I explained my situation (baby on the way/arriving in weeks, nesting) and project details, and Eugene stopped by the same day to get a good look at room needing paint + repairs. Eugene was able to meet my familyâ s needs to get this room ready within one week. Although the estimated job timeline slid out by one day due to factors out of Eugeneâ s control (cold room on the basement floor, so paint takes longer to dry between coats), he did an excellent job with all the promised work: the paints of coat were even and full, the lines between the two colors of paint were crisp and clean, and the baseboard trim was looking sharp! Eugene does great work, heâ s really responsive and communicative throughout the process, heâ s really professional, and he is very kind. I will be hiring Eugene and Honeycomb Construction again for future home projects. Thank you!"

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Mountlake Terrace, WA

A single Tesla Powerwall provides backup power for essential home circuits for approximately one day during an outage. This duration varies significantly based on which appliances and systems you're powering. Critical loads like refrigeration, limited lighting, internet equipment, and a few outlets might draw two to five kWh daily. With 13.5 kWh of usable capacity, careful energy management is necessary for extended outages unless you have solar panels to recharge during daylight hours.

A Tesla Powerwall can power most residential air conditioners, as its 5.8 kW continuous output handles the three to four kW requirement of standard AC units. However, running air conditioning substantially increases energy consumption, potentially depleting a single Powerwall within several hours. For meaningful climate control during extended outages, multiple Powerwall units are recommended. Solar panel integration helps replenish the batteries during daylight hours, extending your cooling capabilities.

Tesla Powerwalls qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, which offers a 30% tax credit through 2032, followed by 26% in 2033 and 23% in 2034. This represents a tax credit (direct reduction of tax liability) rather than a deduction. To qualify, the system must be charged primarily from renewable energy sources. Additionally, many states and utilities offer supplemental incentives that further reduce effective costs. Consult with a tax professional regarding your specific eligibility and filing requirements.

Unlike conventional generators that require fuel, maintenance, and produce noise and emissions, Tesla Powerwalls operate silently and automatically without ongoing fuel costs. While generators can run indefinitely with refueling, Powerwalls have capacity limitations unless paired with solar recharging. Traditional generators cost less initially but require regular maintenance, testing, and fuel storage. Powerwalls offer additional daily benefits through energy bill management and smart home integration features that generators cannot provide, making them multifunctional investments beyond emergency backup.

Tesla Powerwall systems require minimal ongoing maintenance compared to other backup power solutions. Unlike generators with moving components requiring regular servicing, Powerwalls function virtually without mechanical intervention. The manufacturer recommends keeping the unit's surroundings clean and ensuring proper ventilation. For systems paired with solar panels, periodic panel cleaning (costing between $295 and $625) helps maintain optimal charging efficiency. The system conducts automatic self-diagnostics and receives software updates remotely, with most potential issues identified and addressed through Tesla's monitoring capabilities.
