Rain, Rain, Go Away….We have a Planet to Save! Come see us at the Everett Home Show this weekend, March 10 – 12 at Xfinity Arena in Everett. We will have our newly redesigned Solar Trailer, complete with a battery set-up for you to see. Get your questions answered, find out what solar really costs and what the benefits are. Any yes, we get more than enough sun for solar here! Amy will be speaking on Sunday at 1:30 on the Seminar Stage. She will be explaining how and why solar works and taking you through the process of a customized site survey. For more information, please visit the show Website.

This is the last weekend for the Seattle Home Show! We have had a lot of fun talking with people about their upcoming projects, answering questions, educating potential clients about the costs and benefits of going Solar and finding out what is really important when making the decision to invest in a solar system.

The main question on everyone’s mind is a simple one: the current political climate and how it is affecting the current incentives for solar. The answer is not as simple. All we really know is this – the laws that are in place on the federal level (the 30% tax credit) will continue to stay that way. We don’t anticipate that changing between now and when they run out in 2019. Our state incentive, the production payment program, is up for debate right now in the House and hopefully will move to the Senate for a vote. They should have a decision when the current legislative session is over in April. But again, what is in place will continue through the end of the program in 2020.

If you would like to help support HB 1048, you can click here to leave a comment for the House and urge them to move the bill to the Senate.

For now, we are going to continue to do what we do best; offer the highest quality solar systems with the best customer service around. Come talk to us and find out for yourself. The show goes through Sunday at 6pm, we hope to see you!

Over the years we’ve seen an increased need for quality electrical work at a reasonable price – especially for small jobs. You shouldn’t have to wait for a month to get a new switch installed or a circuit added for your new appliance. We’ve always done small job for our friends and clients, so we decided to offer electrical work (without solar) to everyone else. In January West Seattle Electric was born! Our installers are electricians, because that is the rule here in WA, so anything electrical we can work on. Please visit our website www.WestSeattleElectric.com for more information!
