The Most Experienced Solar Installer In The Region.

Puget Sound Solar LLC (PSS) was founded by Jeremy Smithson and Pamela Burton with a vision of a green, sustainable future for the residents of Puget Sound. PSS is a Washington General Electrical Contractor (License # PUGETSS920RH) and General Construction Contractor (License # PUGETSS932MU). PSS installed Seattle’s first residential grid-tied solar electric system in 2001 and we’ve been installing Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging stations since 2006.

Over the years, we’ve installed over 27,000 kilowatts of residential and commercial solar PV projects and we’ve installed over 2,200 electric vehicle charging stations. Between 2009 and 2013 we performed 600 complete home energy audits and over 200 home energy retrofits, giving us a deep understanding of the interconnection between renewable energy and energy efficiency.

PSS designs, installs, and services all types of grid-connected solar electric systems. We have licensed electricians on staff and do 100% of our installation work in house. We are located at the geographical center of Seattle at 805 Rainier Avenue South, 98144.

Our work includes promoting the use of solar energy by educating policy makers, architects, engineers, builders, developers, electricians, and the general public, about green power, infrastructure resilience, and sustainable solutions to growing environmental challenges. We have 11 kW of solar systems on our Certified Net Zero business office and we frequently invite interested people to drop in and have a look. 

Now, with more than two decades of experience, Puget Sound Solar continues to be the leader in the region, keeping a staff of 50+ busy. The coming years promise more growth, thanks to our fantastic customers and crew!
