Transforming Home Energy with Solar
At Premier Solar NW, we are dedicated to providing clean, affordable solar energy solutions specifically tailored to the needs of our customers. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Samuel B. in Portland, OR, who approached us with the desire to harness the power of solar energy for his home.
The Challenge
Samuel had done his homework and met with ten different solar companies before reaching out to us. He had a specific vision in mind: a robust solar panel system that would not only be efficient but also provide long-term value without unnecessary complications. His concerns centered around roof penetrations, potential damage, and finding a reliable partner who could offer a superior solution over the competition.
The Solution: Our Premier Installation
After discussing Samuel's needs, our team, led by the knowledgeable Dan Tracy, proposed a 26 panel (8.32kW) system featuring 320w Panasonic N320K panels equipped with Enphase IQ7X micro inverters.
Here's how we approached the project:
1. Expert Consultation: Dan took the time to understand Samuel's specifications and addressed all his concerns meticulously, reinforcing our commitment to customer service.
2. Top-Notch Equipment: We selected high-quality panels and inverters to ensure that Samuel would enjoy optimal performance and durability.
3. Responsive Planning: Our team set up a schedule that worked for Samuel, providing timely proposals and updates throughout the installation process.
4. Flexible Installation Option: Recognizing that roofing needs may change, we devised a one-time fixed-price option for dismounting and remounting the array, showcasing our commitment to long-term customer satisfaction.
The Aftermath: A Satisfied Customer
The transformation was more than just physical; it represented a shift towards sustainability and energy independence for Samuel and his family.
> “I am certain we found the best solar company for our solar installation. Premier Solar Northwest exceeded all others... If you want the best quality, performance, cost, and professional installation go with Premier Solar Northwest.” – Samuel B.
Samuel’s feedback emphasizes our dedication to providing not only quality solar solutions but also an exceptional customer experience. Since the installation, he has reported significant satisfaction with both the system's performance and our team’s professionalism.
Conclusion
This project exemplifies our mission at Premier Solar NW to deliver reliable solar panel installations that not only meet but exceed our customers’ expectations. By focusing on quality equipment, expert consultations, and responsive service, we have established ourselves as a leading provider in the Portland area.

Solar Panel Rescue in Portland
Solar Panel Rescue in Portland
At Premier Solar NW, we believe in the power of solar energy to transform homes and lives. Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a customer in Portland who faced an urgent solar panel issue that required our expertise. This project stands as a testament to our commitment to providing clean, affordable solar energy and outstanding customer service.
The Challenge: A Complex Solar Issue
Our journey began when a remodel was in progress at our client’s home. During the renovation, it was discovered that the house had been illegally powered since 1977. With the remodel halted, our client felt the urgency to rectify the situation and bring in legal power.
Upon contacting an electric company for assistance, they faced further complications. Not only did the electric company fail to relocate the solar disconnect panel to meet code requirements, but they also informed our client that they did not service solar equipment. Disheartened and in need of immediate support, they turned to us at Premier Solar NW.
The Transformation: Quick and Professional Action
On receiving the call, our team, led by Reed Gray, sprang into action. We understood the urgency of the situation and made it our mission to provide a prompt and effective solution. Reed went to the client’s home to assess the disconnect panel and properly understand the problem.
Initially, Reed's schedule was fully booked for the next two weeks, which left our client anxious. However, that very night, Reed sent an email with a detailed quote, urging them to sign immediately so we could kick off the work the following day. Our client was thrilled, as they had been waiting for a resolution for far too long.
Reed arrived promptly the next morning, ready to tackle the solar disconnect issue. He communicated clearly about what needed to be done, explained the role of the power company, and even guided them on how to turn on power to the solar panels, which had been inactive for two months prior.
The Results: A Happy Customer and a Functional Home
The outcome of our efforts exceeded expectations! Our client shared their experience, stating:
> "Reed is very professional and his commitment to service is very apparent. I found both of these qualities in Reed Gray and Premier Solar Northwest. I don't know who came up with the rating system of 5 stars as I give Reed Gray and Premier Solar Northwest 10 stars, hands down."
Our team not only resolved the immediate issues but also helped re-establish trust in solar technology for our client. This project showcases how with the right expertise and a customer-first approach, we can turn challenges into successful outcomes.
Conclusion
At Premier Solar NW, we pride ourselves on our ability to respond swiftly and effectively to our clients' solar needs, ensuring they receive the highest level of service possible.

Solar Success: Premier Solar NW's Transformation
Solar Success: Premier Solar NW's Transformation
At Premier Solar NW, we take pride in providing clean, affordable solar energy solutions for our clients in Portland, OR. Our journey with our valued client, Bryson E., stands out as a prime example of how we turn solar dreams into reality while delivering top-notch service.
The Challenge: Navigating Solar Installation
Back in August 2017, Bryson reached out to us during a bustling period when many homeowners were eager to install solar panels before the expiration of various incentives. Understanding the market's rush, we knew that providing accurate and trustworthy quotes was essential. Bryson contacted six or seven installers, but many responses fell short of his expectations.
When he reached out to us, it was clear that thorough communication and professional service were vital. Bryson needed a company that not only provided quotes but also one that would guide him through the installation process effectively.
Our Process: Diligent Estimation and Clear Communication
Our team began by conducting a comprehensive on-site assessment. We believe that getting the details right is crucial, which is why we took the necessary time to understand Bryson’s needs and expectations. Bryson later shared:
> “Premier Solar NW was the most careful in their estimation, taking more time onsite to get the required information... they walked us through what we could expect in the installation.”
Delivering the quote in person was part of our commitment to clear communication. We utilized a detailed PowerPoint presentation that outlined the benefits of the three solar systems Bryson requested, alongside a transparent breakdown of incentives and payment options.
Overcoming Challenges: Installation Under Pressure
Originally, our team set expectations for the installation time frame at 3-4 weeks. However, during a preliminary inspection, we found we could expedite the timeline. Despite challenges such as smoke from the Gorge fire, our dedicated crew worked hard and managed to complete the installation in just a few days.
There were undeniably complications along the way, particularly with city permitting and inspections. We handled all the necessary paperwork and communication with the city officials. Bryson appreciated that we:
> “...hired an electrician on their own dime to correct the issue [with the city inspector].”
Our team ensured that everything was done correctly, even when unexpected hurdles arose.
The Result: A Successful Installation and Happier Homeowners
With the project completed ahead of schedule, Bryson and his family were thrilled with their new solar installation. Their feedback highlights our commitment to excellence:
> “Premier Solar NW is exceptional at everything... They communicate clearly... and take complete responsibility for the job.”
We exceeded Bryson’s expectations at every step, and his satisfaction with our work solidifies our reputation as one of the best solar panel installation providers in the region.
