Pinnacle Solar NW

We initially chose this installer because they appeared professional and knowledgeable, even engaging us in discussions about optimizing our solar panel layout. Based on their assurances, we confirmed the project nearly 2.5 months before the federal tax credit deadline, expecting timely completion. To proceed with them, we canceled an application with another installer who promised a faster timeline and stopped pursuing two others offering aggressive pricing. Unfortunately, that trust was misplaced. From the moment we signed, there were no proactive updates on project progress. Communication was poor—responses only came after repeated follow-ups. After weeks of pestering for an installation timeline, we were finally told—at the last minute—that they were short-staffed and could not complete the project in December. This left us zero time to approach alternative installers, resulting in the loss of the federal tax credit. This feels like a bait-and-switch tactic: they made viable promises to secure our business, then failed to deliver, causing significant financial harm. If you value transparency, timely execution, and accountability, look elsewhere. Our experience was frustrating, costly, and completely avoidable with honest communication.

It was so much fun to work with Pinnacle on our home solar project. Steve and his team got me a no BS quote on the day I made the inquiry. Their price was more than competitive. Their workmanship is superb. Steve's crew is helpful and friendly. They were able to meet their scheduling targets and now I am pulling down some serious sun action, even during the winter! Make sure to include Pinnacle when you start your own solar project

Steve and Alan did a good job of answering all my questions regarding my solar installation, walking me through the timeline and getting the system installed in a timely manner. One month later everything is running smoothly. 11/25/2025.

I had an excellent experience with Pinnacle Solar NW. After thoroughly researching solar installation companies in Portland, two stood out. Although I was initially hesitant because Pinnacle Solar NW is relatively new, conversations with Dan and the owner, Steve, quickly reassured me—their team is composed of seasoned professionals with deep expertise in the solar industry. The entire process—from design, estimate, and evaluation (handled by Dan, Steve, and Alan) to installation (carried out by Sky, Obie, and Ryan)—was smooth and efficient. I observed much of the installation firsthand and was genuinely impressed by the meticulous attention to detail shown by Sky and Obie. As an added bonus, they are certified installers for REC, which further boosted my confidence in their capabilities. The team exceeded my expectations, using high-quality products at very competitive prices. I can confidently vouch for this crew.

Pinnacle Solar NW is by far the best if you are considering installing solar on your house. I called over 25 different companies trying to find a company that would work with me to install solar panels I purchased myself. At the time I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to find a qualified company to help me get them installed. Pinnacle Solar NW worked with me throughout the process, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. They were very flexible, professional, and supportive of my specific needs, requests, and concerns. Pinnacle Solar NW can take on the full project or help you design the best solution for your specific needs. The finished job looks great, and functions as expected. Really can’t say enough about how positive the experience was working with them to complete my project.

Pinnacle did a great job on the installation of our solar panels. They also explained the system and how to monitor the system.
