Between 2023 and 2025, 57 companies pulled 1,948 permits for solar panels on homes in Seattle. Puget Sound Solar pulled the most (302, or 16%), followed by Sunergy Systems (227) and Blue Raven Solar (176). Every company in the ranking was still pulling permits in 2025; installers that have since closed are left out.
This ranking counts residential solar permits issued in the city, not finished installations: a few permits are never completed, and the permit is filed by the licensed company doing the work, which is usually but not always the company that sold the system. Permit records don't include prices or whether a system is leased.

Comparing quotes in Seattle?
Divide each quote's total, before incentives, by the system size in watts. Ask at least three of the companies above to quote the same system size. Reject any 2026 quote that subtracts a 30% federal tax credit from a purchase: that credit ended in 2025.
How to check a solar quote →Home Solar in Seattle by the Numbers
Based on 1,994 residential solar permits issued in Seattle between 2023 and 2025, from the City of Seattle's open data.
Home solar permits per year
2026: 49 permits in the records so far. The year isn't complete, so it isn't counted in the ranking.
Home Solar Across Washington
City permits record who installed each system, but not what it cost or whether it was leased. For that, here is the picture across Washington.
Utilities in Washington reported 58,556 homes with rooftop solar in July 2026, averaging 8.7 kW per home. That is 5,093 more than a year earlier (+10%). Washington ranks 21 of 44 states by homes with solar. Home batteries paired with those systems add up to 41 MW.
Homes with solar: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-861M, net metering (homes enrolled in net metering or a similar program).
Solar Panel Repair in Seattle
When a system stops producing, the best first call is an established local company. The companies ranked above pulled permits in Seattle through 2025, so they know the equipment on local roofs. Many will service a system they didn't install, but not all — ask before you book, and expect a diagnostic fee.

Installers That Closed or Went Bankrupt in Seattle
Companies that have since closed, liquidated or filed for bankruptcy pulled 235 home solar permits in Seattle since 2019. They are left out of the ranking above. If one of them installed your system, its workmanship warranty is likely gone — but panel and inverter warranties come from the manufacturer and usually survive the installer.

Solar in Seattle: Common Questions
Who installs the most solar panels in Seattle?
In the three most recent complete years (2023–2025), Puget Sound Solar pulled 302 permits for solar on homes in Seattle, more than any other company. Sunergy Systems (227) and Blue Raven Solar (176) came next. Volume shows local experience, not workmanship, so compare quotes and reviews before choosing.
Who repairs solar panels in Seattle?
Start with the companies in the ranking above: Puget Sound Solar, Sunergy Systems and Blue Raven Solar did the most work here, and an installer that knows the equipment on local roofs can usually diagnose a fault faster. If your system was leased or is on a PPA, call the company you pay each month first — maintenance is normally its job.
Can I still get the federal solar tax credit in 2026?
Not as a homeowner buying the system: the 30% residential credit (Section 25D) ended on December 31, 2025. Be wary of any quote that still subtracts it from the price. See our 2026 solar tax credit guide for what's left.
What if my solar installer went out of business?
Your panels and inverters are still covered by their manufacturers' warranties; what you lose is the installer's workmanship and roof-leak warranty. If the system is leased or on a PPA, the company you pay each month is usually responsible for repairs, and any active company in the ranking can take over service. See the installers that closed in Seattle and what still works when an installer closes.
What do homeowners in Seattle pay for electricity?
Residential customers in Washington pay an average of 14.91¢ per kWh, 15% below the national average. The higher the rate, the faster solar pays for itself. Source: EIA, Electric Power Monthly, Table 5.6.A.
No company pays to be listed or to rank higher, and any ad on this site is labeled. Before you sign, confirm the contractor license, insurance and recent reviews, and get at least three quotes. If a company in Seattle has closed, moved or changed its phone number, tell us and we'll check it.
How This Ranking Works
Companies are ranked by the residential solar permits they pulled here in 2023–2025, counting one permit per address per year; each needs at least 10 permits and at least one in 2025. Closed or bankrupt companies are removed and listed separately. The count shows local experience, not workmanship or service.
