Great company and would recommend!

We had several quotes from multiple solar installers and went with Cascade Solar because we liked the way they operate. From the beginning, Tom answered a lot of our questions regarding the system, installation process, and cost before we had seriously considered moving forward. They provided details without nudging us towards the solar purchase. We never felt any pressure from them, which is ultimately why we chose to go with Cascade Solar. The solar brackets that were initially delivered were recognized by the Cascade Solar installation crew as suboptimal for our aluminum shingled roof. I am grateful that Maddie and Anja took their time to look into this before moving forward. The professionalism, diligence, and patience by Maddie, Anja, Guillermo, and Andrew did not go unnoticed. There were some hiccups from start to finish on our 1910 home, but Cascade Solar made sure that they were available and responsive throughout the process. Thank you Cascade Solar!

Cascade Solar helped me when others couldn't

Getting quotes to add new panels to my 12 y.o. solar installation proved very difficult for several local contractors. Cascade made it extremely easy and quick for me to expand my system for a very reasonable price. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Amazing End to End

I recently had Cascade Solar install an 8.6 kW system in Oregon City, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The sales rep was low pressure, making the decision-making process stress-free. Working with Cascade Solar was great, and their pricing was competitive. Communication throughout the entire process was perfect, keeping me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Cascade Solar for anyone considering solar installation, and I’ll likely be working with them again in the future for a battery installation.

Excellent Installer, Great Customer Service

Cascade Solar was excellent to work with and did a great job installing our home solar system. From the start, David Nicholls was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and very patient in answering all the questions I had regarding the project. He worked with me to evaluate different sizes of arrays and different equipment options, in order to best meet our current and projected energy use. Cascade Solar’s pricing was the best of the several bids I received through EnergySage and elsewhere, while also including components featuring the latest technology. Once we settled on a design and decided to move forward, David worked hard, under tight deadlines, to ensure we received the best incentives and rebates available. When it came time for installation, David and his crew did a very professional job, and he subsequently returned to ensure everything was in good working order and answered any further questions we had. It was a pleasure working directly with an owner of the company who truly cared about making sure the customer is satisfied and the job is well done. I highly recommend using Cascade Solar.

Complex system, great work

My system was a large and complex system involving permitting from all levels of local and federal authorities, and Cascade Solar handled it all without me having to deal with the legal complexities. The work was professional and looks and works great. I would definitely recommend Cascade Solar to anyone wanting to go solar....
