Solar in Redmond, WA
One of the biggest questions residents of Washington have when investigating solar for the first time is, "Does this work in Washington state?" We indeed get our fair share of grey gloom, yet it is proven time and again that solar works in Washington despite our big evergreen trees and our cloudy days. In fact, Western Washington has more solar access than the world's third-largest producer of solar energy, Germany!
For this Redmond home, their primary goal was to eliminate their electricity spend and confirm that solar works in Washington state. A typical starting point for customers is the well-known Google's Project Sunroof. This can often be misleading as it rates a home's solar access versus other areas with better sun exposure. This means one could look at this data and assume they cannot get solar panels. Reality cannot be farther from the truth! Yes, it is true that a customer in California, or even Eastern Washington, will get better sun exposure, but that does not mean you cannot produce meaningful power. It simply means you need a larger system. Despite tree coverage at this Redmond home, they are covering their energy needs.
The Blossom sales staff are always flexible and happy to provide any information a customer needs to feel comfortable with their solar investment. One of the benefits of all solar systems that Blossom installs is a rich set of monitoring data. Over time, our customers build a collection of data, which proves that solar is working, even during cloudy days. After reviewing nearby customers' monitoring data and speaking with one of our Everett customers, this Redmond resident was sold on Blossom as their solar installer.
There are many ways to pay for solar, as not everyone has the upfront capital to make a solar investment. With the current environment surrounding mortgage and refinance rates, a great way to pay for solar is to leverage your home's equity in a refinance. If that option does not make sense for you, Blossom Solar partners with several different credit unions that can connect our customers with low-interest solar loans. From fixed-term mortgage-style loans to variable-rate loans offering low monthly payments, Blossom will find an option that works for anyone! Swap out your electricity bill for lower loan payments and start producing your own energy for zero money down!
As the sun shines down through the trees and powers this Redmond home, we can say without a doubt that solar is working in Washington. As always, Blossom worked to get this customer installed quickly after they signed their contract. This quick turnaround, stellar installation work, and continued follow-up resulted in yet another happy customer out in Redmond. Welcome to the Blossom Family!
