We recently installed a solar system on the home of one of our owners, Adam Lee—who began his journey with us as an installer.

Now he powers his home, electric truck, and mini-split heat pump with clean solar energy.

Puget Sound Solar team members walk the talk when it comes to sustainability.

🚨 Training Day meets Trophy Day

At PSS, we reward top-tier conduit bending with 🐐 trophies and bragging rights. Bonus points if you can bend 4" pipe like our EV Support crew did in the field

Solar, storage, EV charging — we wire it all, and we make it fun.

Clean energy’s future is splitting in two.

📉 Local 25D companies = job losses, shrinking support

💰 48E abusers = cashing in at scale

Congress’ latest bill picks winners — and WA solar workers are the losers.
