Solar Installation in Kent, WA

Washington Generators has been designing and installing solar systems in the Pacific Northwest since 2010 — long enough to have seen which system designs actually hold up to this region’s specific mix of overcast winters and long summer daylight. Whether it’s a standalone solar array or one paired with battery storage, we design the system around how your home actually uses power, not a generic national template.

Designing for the Pacific Northwest’s Light, Not Someone Else’s

Panel placement, tilt, and system sizing that work in a sunnier, drier climate don’t automatically translate to a region with more cloud cover and shorter winter days. We size systems around realistic local production data, not manufacturer specs measured somewhere else, so the number on paper matches what you’ll actually see on your energy bill.

What’s Included in Solar Installation

A complete solar installation covers the full system, not just the visible panels:

• System design based on your home’s actual energy use
• Panel and inverter installation
• Permitting and utility interconnection
• Optional battery storage integration
• Optional standby generator integration for full backup coverage

Solar Plus Battery Plus Generator — A Hybrid Approach

More Kent homeowners are combining solar, battery storage, and a standby generator into a single resilient system rather than choosing just one. Our team works specifically with transfer switch compatibility, load prioritization, and communication between inverter, battery, and generator — the part of hybrid systems that’s easy to get wrong if the installer only specializes in one piece of it.
