In 2017, West Seattle Natural Energy and West Seattle Electric, two local businesses owned and operated by the Hughes family, officially merged to become West Seattle Electric and Solar. Founders Keith and Lin Hughes, both proud veterans, co-owner and operate the business along with their children Amy and Ryan. As the only veteran-owned solar company in the Puget Sound area, we are proud to offer a 10% discount off of the labor on both solar and electrical jobs to all veterans every day! Solar Energy is electrical work, but most solar companies hire outside electrical contractors to connect their newly installed solar arrays to the power grid.
In 2008, Keith and his family opened West Seattle Natural Energy, LLC, a company dedicated to the design and installation of Renewable Energy Systems including Solar PV and Small Wind Energy Systems. The company has always offered electrical work to their solar clients, so in 2016 they established West Seattle Electric to meet the demand for high-quality electrical work, especially for small projects, for everyone. In 2017, they decided to merge the two companies - West Seattle Electric and Solar was born!
