I’m a out-of- state owner so it was really important to me that I had easy, nice, smart people to work with. The entire process was smooth, everyone was friendly, and there were zero glitches along the way. I repeat, zero glitches, it couldn’t have been easier. Two stand out personalities were Libby and Andy, everyone was great but these two were the ones I interacted with most and they were both highly competent and nice as well.

The installation team at Ecotech installed 18 LG solar panels on our roof in under two days. The office support staff were very helpful at every stage of the process, including navigating around how to get a solar loan. The completed work looks great, and now that were heading into the hot summer months, our system is more than covering our electrical needs.The fact that it is clean energy is important to us. And if our energy needs increase (for example, when we get all-electric vehicles), Ecotech can easily add panels to our LG system.We discovered during power outages last winter that we cant use the electricity being generated when the grid is down. Id be interested to know how other customers deal with that issue.

Working with Ecotech has been hands-down one of the best experiences Ive had working with a business. We had a 35 panel, 13.125kW system installed on our home. We spent months working with five solar installers designing, bidding and comparing systems. Without question Ecotech had the highest value equipment and a designer/engineer who reall took his time answering our million questions and educating us during the process. The front office staff were friendly, hilarious and such a pleasure to work with.The install team was similarly friendly, professional and effecient. Took them less than two days to install 35 panels in a manner that is unobtrusive, clean and at least to my eye, flawless (including the routing through our attic space).This was a big investment for our family and we couldnt be happier with the final system that Ecotech designed and installed for us.Thank you Team Ecotech.- The Middlebrooks Family -

EchoTech is hands down the best contractor I have worked with in 30+ years. Everything from the sales, office management, design, installation, monitoring and warranty followup. I had a single panel in 76 that failed within a few weeks, EchoTech was out the day after I notified them and had the replacement competed.I had a list of 12 requirements when selecting my solar installer. While most had their pros and cons, EchoTech was all pros, no cons. After the contract was signed, the support did not stop. After the payments were made, the support has not stopped. They are passionate about their company and the products they sell and they are easily the most professional crew Ive worked with. All of the crew members that came to the site showed the same level of professionalism. Very low pressure as well, every person took time to answer all of the questions I had through the entire engagement.I have a large system with 76 LG Solar Panels generating up to 24.7 Kw paired with 4 Tesla Powerwalls. I worked with EchoTech to future proof my requirements expecting 2 electric cars in the next 5 years. The system performance has been incredible. Much higher performance tha I expected. I am in a wooded area and was amazed that I generate 3x my power consumption even when the sun is behind the trees.Although the picture with the panels is a bit washed out, I purposely included a picture of the panels with the Star(sun) of the show and the amazing work the Co-Star(EchoTech) performed.Final comment. The inspector was in awe of EchoTechs beautiful installation. He mentioned more that a dozen times that is was the best he has ever seen. I agree.Thank you EchoTech. Im sure we will keep in touch so I can let you know how much I appreciate your team and my system.

The Celtic Arts Foundation is a Skagit County based non-profit, with a large event venue and office in downtown Mount Vernon. After attending an informational session, we met and got proposals from a couple different firms, and selected Echotech based on a number of factors. Have to say that I couldnt imagine the process going any smoother. They are professional, knowledgeable, neat and follow through on things they say they will. We enjoyed working with them from start to finish, and strongly recommend them for any solar installation!

Ecotech Solar installed a 10.24 kW solar system on the roof of my home. They did a great job throughout the project. Starting with the proposal showing a several design options to choose from, then the actual Installation including all necessary permits, inspections, and tie-in to PSE grid, and finally walking me through the whole system when the project was completed. Everyone that I talked to at Ecotech Solar, including sales, design, Installation and commissioning, were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommend Ecotech Solar to anyone who is considering a solar system!

Ecotech installed LG solar panels on our metal roof. Their team was fantastic. Everyone was very knowledgable, professional, friendly and easy to work with. They did a great job coordinating with our roofing company to come and add the parts needed for the panels before the metal roof was put on and then came back shortly after to finish installing the panels. I would highly recommend Ecotech to anyone looking into solar.

I have nothing but good things to say about Ecotech Solar and their team. I have worked with a lot of contractors and subcontractors over the years and this was by far my smoothest most enjoyable (really) experience. I primarily worked with Andy in person and Libby on the phone. The communication was personable, honest and accurate. The work was done on time, as expected and as predicted. I cannot recommend this group enough if you are considering an investment in solar.

Solar is up and running--so cool! Ecotech was awesome, great to work with as a company (they took care of all the details, quality workmanship, great people, and at a great price); they also offer continuing support. I appreciated the time they took to inform me not only what they were doing, but also to educate me on my system and solar in general. Great job!!!

I had a great experience with Ecotech. Super friendly and responsive team that took care of everything quickly, efficiently, and in line with their original quote they were able to give by only reviewing photographs of my garage! Fantastic customer service and work. Thanks Riley and crew!

“Ecotech put solar panels on our residence six years ago. Dana and crew provided fantastic service throughout the entire process. At one point during this timeframe, our inverter was recalled and Ecotech replaced it, again wth seamless service. Six years later we are still cooking with solar! Our monthly bill is $7.90.This summer, someone stole the solar panels from my non-profit farm that supply energy to our aquaponics system. We were very concerned about our fish losing oxygen and as a non-profit, dont have the funds to rush out and buy emergency replacement panels.I thought to call Ecotech and, within an hour, Dana and Riley donated and wired two slightly damaged panels for us. Ecotech is not only a great company, it is also a terrific community partner. Thank you, Ecotech Team!

Ecotech is the kind of contractor you wish every company was like; with a very professional, competent, helpful staff that you can have confidence in; that uses the latest top quality materials and equipment for reliability and longevity; that insists on safety, efficient installation techniques and procedures.The Ecotech staff first met with us to determine the best, most cost effective system to install. Once we signed up, they coordinated with us, the City inspector, the utility company, and the WA State incentive program staff to assure that our system worked perfectly and received all necessary approvals. Work of the installation crew was precise and no return visits have been necessary.Now we are producing electricity for ourselves with any excess sent to the power grid, and are very satisfied with the results. We recommend Ecotech to anyone ready to make the solar power commitment.

Ecotech installed solar panels and 2 Tesla Powerwalls. They did a great job planning the installation and were very accommodating to our schedule. The pandemic lock-down occurred in the middle of our installation and they were forced to take a break from work. Despite this they got the work done promptly and demonstrated careful precautions around the worksite.The solar system immediately started producing and has been supply well in excess of 60% of our electricity most days. The very first partial month of operation reduced our electric bill by over half. We got a real world test of the backup capabilities of the system shortly after installation when the power went out for about 2 1/2 hours. We barely noticed the switch-over, only knowing that the power was out when we noticed that lights not on the backed up circuits were off.A great company to work with, and a great result.

We had our solar system installed in 2014 and havent paid an electric bill since. Ecotech notified us that the inverter had a recall and would have to be replaced. The technician that replaced the inverter (Robert) did a great job. Very capable and professional. We can highly recommend Ecotech Solar.

I have always been a solar junkie, having installed a number of off grid installations over the years. I had an analysis done a number of years ago by a couple of local contractors to do an install on my property. At that time the combination of cost and yield did not add up to a cost effective installation. Ecotech followed up after a call from me to come give me a new analysis based on current costs, and most importantly, improvements of optimizer technology. With new technology, and the dropped cost they gave me a price for a 6.2kw install that should provide ~95% of our annual use. From Andy in sales and design to Riley in configuration and follow up they have been very easy to work with. All the folks in the field are very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. They did an install in August, and it has been running flawlessly since. I did have a problem with the communication system built into the inverter, and they spent a lot of time chasing down the problem with the manufacturer. I have since recommended several other people to give ecotech a call, and they too have had systems installed with similar satisfaction. I would strongly suggest giving them a call, as the price of installed solar continues to fall, and is not only surprisingly affordable in the PNW, it is remarkably productive, counter intuitively. As a side note, my first off grid solar system cost ~$100/watt simply for the raw panel. Ecotech current installed price, soup to nuts is around $2/watt!

This is a remarkable company with a dedicated team. They very graciously and patiently provided assistance through years of process while I coordinated our electrical panel upgrade to accomodate the array. The install process went smoothly and the team was very friendly and professional. It was a wonderful experience and we are thrilled to be producing our own renewable energy! Thank you, all!

These guys were great to work with. Gave a good evaluation of the solar opportunity and clearly explained the whole process before anything got started. Installation went smooth and the team efficient at the work site. Pretty excited to see my system in action this summer

The folks at Ecotech are great to work with. From first requesting an estimate to the installation and final walk through of our system they were knowledgeable, highly professional, and most of all a pleasure to work with. They also had the most competitive bid. I highly recommend their services.

We had the BEST experience with Ecotech Solar. From Andy Davis doing our design and bid to Nick, Robert and John doing the installation. Never have we had such pleasure working with the best group of people. Thank you, guys!

Ecotech installed designed and installed our solar array in March of 2013 and we have been ecstatic! We knew we wanted solar electric and Dana did an evaluation of our home in 2007 helping us to find the best cost to benefit ratio. Dana is patient and extremely competent and it has been great to see his organization grow over the past decade. Ecotech stands behind their work and does a great job from start to finish. Happy to show you my system if you are interested.

Getting Solar on our home has actually been one of the most exciting and pleasurable experiences as homeowners to date. The passionate and well-educated staff at Ecotech is 99% of the reason why we have been so stoked! From start to finish we received the best education, communication, service and courtesy that we can remember in any company working on our house thus far.We have already bragged loudly about Ecotech to anyone who asks about our new solar panel system, and will continue to do so!We are now generating energy and feel so nerdy about how excited we are! Thank you everyone at Ecotech!Allison JohnsonBill LampmanBellingham, WA

Excellent companies like Ecotech are rare these days. They knocked my residential solar project out of the park in terms of communication with client, hitting deadlines, workmanship, and solar engineering. One super cool aspect about hiring Ecotech was the way they demystified the various solar incentives (federal, state, electric co) and clearly broke down via spreadsheet analysis how the finances will play out. This was done as part of their free project proposal and estimate. They made every effort to accommodate my requests and were great folks to have around during the installation. Well after the project was completed and paid for they contacted me about some additional limbing advice just to ensure the system was operating at its maximum potential. Ive referred multiple friends and family to Ecotech and recommend them 100% for solar work.

Review №27

They take the hassle out of the whole process. My interest in solar in the past, usually at home shows, was always met with the sales pitch. I became quite skeptical. Well, Ecotech Solar was straight forward.I had asked our builder about solar, because he had it on a house he was just finishing up. He said that it was Ecotech Solar - and that they were really easy to deal with. No hassle for him.I got quotes from Ty at Ecotech Solar - and their local competitor. Both were similarly priced for the same system. Ty also gave me estimates of my annual costs and production. Being a bit skeptical, I asked him to provide me with a more conservative estimate on production than he initially gave me.The federal and state incentives, and the low interest rates for solar loans from PSCCU, make solar a no brainer in Washington. Ecotech gave us all the paperwork, FILLED OUT, and clear instructions on when and where to send it. All we had to do was sign them and send them to the respective agencies. Ecotech kept us up to date on regulatory changes too.Ecotech is just fantastic to work with. The entire team!Recommendations:- Go with black backsheets. For $10, they look so much better than those ugly white grid ones.- Share your prior utility bills with Ecotech beforehand. Work with them to estimate your energy usage going forward. Design the right system for your house.- If you are building, get the solar system up and running as soon as possible so you can be producing energy credits before you move into the house. We learned that the power bill has to be in your name, not your contractors, before PSE will let you turn on the solar.Our electric bill is only $9 each month, which is some sort of a basic charge, plus tax.No brainer. No hassles. Ecotech is great.
