Puget Sound Solar, LLC

Puget Sound Solar LLC (PSS) was founded by Jeremy Smithson and Pamela Burton with a vision of a green, sustainable future for the residents of Puget Sound. PSS is both a Washington General Electrical Contractor (License # PUGETSS920RH) and General Construction Contractor (License # PUGETSS932MU). PSS installed the Seattle's first residential grid-tied solar electric system in 2001.

Since then we've installed over 10 megawatts of solar energy projects, including about 35% of all photovoltaic systems in the Seattle City Light service area, and 10% of all such systems statewide. We have also installed about 750 electric vehicle charging stations, and between 2009 and 2013 we performed 600 complete home energy audits and over 200 home energy retrofits.

PSS designs, installs, and services all types of grid-connected solar electric systems and closed-loop solar water heating systems. We have licensed electricians on staff and do 100% of our installation work in house. We are located in the most central location in Seattle at 805 Rainier Avenue South, 98144.

Our work includes promoting the use of solar energy by educating policy makers, architects, engineers, builders, developers, electricians, and the general public about green power, infrastructure resilience, and sustainable solutions to growing environmental challenges. We have 11 kW of solar systems on our Certified Net Zero business office and we frequently invite interested people to drop in and have a look, including participants in the annual Solar Tour.
