Joshua Parise

They installed an inverter that stopped working after two years and never responded to the request to get it fixed (under warranty). Must be too busy selling all those solar panels under warranty... Super nice people when you can get a hold of them.

Wow. South sound solar is great. They came in with a good bid equal to the other lowest bid but better than two others. They are local and have an amazing staff. We ran into some unusual difficulties and they went above and beyond. I can not say enough about their work, communication, kindness, and consideration of my home, family and pets. They are professional yet real people that talk to you straight up. I highly recommend this company and would give them 6 stars if I could.

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PASSIONATE South Sound Solar installed/upgraded our off grid system a little over a year ago. We purchased a property/home that had a homeowner built system. It was working... but way undersized and I had many safety concerns. We also started running a business on the property so we had much higher energy demands. Kirk and his team evaluated our electricity needs and designed a system with the capacity to support our home and business. They installed a 8kw solar array, Sol-ark inverter and Northstar battery bank. They also connected us to a local dealer to upgrade our backup generator to something reliable and scaled. They not only upgraded our system but had a massive clean up job to deal with on the old system.... the team showed up every day on time and worked relentlessly. They were so thoughtful about the install that we only had to shut down power for a short period for a few days in a row. This was such a huge blessing for family and business to not have to be without power for 2 weeks! Most solar companies won't even touch an off grid install, much less untangle the mess we had. Kirk's team was undeterred and was excited to have the project. Kirk is knowledgeable and well researched, he built a system for us and we love it! Our battery bank recently had issues and he went to bat for us- battling Outback for over a month. He kept us updated the whole time and thank to his tenacity and persistence in them honoring the warranty we have a new fully functioning bank again. If you want to go solar, call South Sound Solar. Great local company with a talented team.
