About The Company
A&R Solar installs solar energy systems for homes and businesses across Washington and Oregon. We have offices and staff in Puget Sound, Portland, Bend, and the Eastern Washington area. We have been designing solar energy systems for Northwest homes since 2007. Our system designers live in Washington and Oregon and have deep experience creating systems that maximize solar potential for each unique project. Here are two other things that set us apart: We don’t use call centers. We don’t subcontract our electrical work. When you talk to an A&R Solar representative, that person is an employee, perhaps even an employee owner. Ask them. And here are the things we promise: 1) We’ll show up when we say we’re going to. 2) We’ll do what we say we’re going to 3) We’ll communicate professionally should complications arise. We're a Certified B Corporation and Social Purpose Corporation, meaning we put people and planet right along with profit. We also are a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer, a 3-star Trade Ally of the Energy Trust of Oregon, and have more NABCEP certified employees than any other installer in the Northwest. Contact us to see about solar for your home or business--or to see if we have job openings. We look forward to hearing from you.
