Forecast Solar is a built on a foundation of successful roofing and electrical contracting. We have not merely hired roofers and electricians but, we actually have decades of contracting experience in these highly competitive fields. By bringing all the traders under one roof, we offer a unique efficiency and seamlessness to the entire process. This translates to lower prices and peace of mind. We are proud of being the first company in Washington to have made PV systems truly affordable. Our state has an enormous capacity for solar that the industry has barely touched.
It all started back when our semi-retired owner Greg Gorsuch wanted to get solar for his own house. After speaking with several installers and receiving high-priced proposals, he realized he could merge his roofing company with another electrical company to offer a superior value within the solar industry. This sparked the creation of what would become Forecast Solar. Hundreds of installations later, we have managed to take this initial energy and turn it into one of the most competitive and well-rounded solar companies in Washington.
Residential solar electricity costs 30% - 60% less then the utility's costs over a 25 year period. This savings depending on your solar exposure, site orientation and how you finance the system. Depending on the size of the photovoltaic (PV) system, prices range anywhere from about $10,000 - $50,000. The larger the system the better the cost/benefit ratio. In effect through 2019, the solar tax benefit is a dollar for dollar credit that allows you to reduce your taxes by 26% of your system cost.*

Greg came to do our free quote very quickly, explained our options and how to get financing, and within only a few weeks our panels were up and running, just in time for the sunny weather! Our roof had some quirks, but the installers were very professional and quickly worked around the issues, finishing right when they said they would. Great company!

The company responded promptly to our inquiry into solar and within a month we had our installation completed on our house! It looks great and I'm so excited to be able to reduce our energy bill! Everyone we worked with was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. If we ever buy another house and want to do solar again, I would go back to this company without question. We're recommending them to everyone who expresses an interest in doing solar themselves!
Snohomish County’s latest solar project was hooked up to our grid yesterday afternoon! This 93 kW system is comprised of 242 panels and is located on the roof of North Creek Presbyterian Church in Mill Creek. The system was funded in part through the Renewable Energy State Incentive Program with...

If you want to help the clean energy industry go to this link and send a message to your representative. Why is this bill important? It extends an already existing subsidy a few more years which the solar industry needs because it can almost sustain itself without any subsidies!
