Electrical Upgrade Services Paired With Solar Installation
Many Western Washington homes — particularly those built before 2000 — need an electrical panel upgrade before solar can be safely installed. Strong Solar Solutions handles both the solar installation and the electrical panel upgrade in a single coordinated project. That means you work with one crew, not two. It eliminates the need to separately schedule and vet an electrician, compresses the overall project timeline, and ensures all electrical work is completed to current NEC code requirements from the start.
The electrical services included in a combined project cover main panel replacement or upgrade — from 100A to 200A or higher where required — sub-panel installation, dedicated circuit wiring for high-draw appliances or EV chargers, and inspection coordination with the local authority having jurisdiction. All electrical work is performed by Strong Solar Solutions' own fully trained, fully insured staff. Nothing is subcontracted.
Combining Solar and Electrical Work in One Visit Saves Western Washington Homeowners Time
Scheduling both services together means one site visit, one permit package, and one point of contact for any follow-up questions — a practical advantage that national solar companies relying on separate electrical subcontractors simply cannot offer.
Add EV Charger Installation to Your Residential Solar Project
Pairing a home EV charger installation with a residential solar project is one of the most cost-effective ways to get the most out of your solar investment. When an EV charges overnight using solar energy generated during the day — or drawn from the grid at off-peak rates offset by your solar credits — the household reduces both its electricity bill and its fuel costs at the same time. Strong Solar Solutions installs Level 2 home EV charging stations as part of a combined residential solar and electrical project.
Combining the EV charger installation with your solar and electrical work in a single visit eliminates a second mobilization cost and ensures the charging circuit is properly sized and integrated with the home's upgraded electrical panel. For homeowners who already own or are planning to buy an EV, this is the most efficient path to a complete clean-energy home setup.

Residential Solar Installation Common Questions Answered
How long does a residential solar installation take from start to finish in Western Washington?
A typical residential installation takes two to four weeks from signed contract to final inspection, including the time needed to pull permits from the local jurisdiction. The actual on-roof installation is usually completed in one to two days. Weather and utility interconnection timelines can extend the schedule — the Strong Solar Solutions team communicates proactively at every stage so you always know where things stand.
Does Strong Solar Solutions handle all the permits for a residential solar installation?
Yes. Strong Solar Solutions manages the full permit process, including filing with the local building department and coordinating the utility interconnection application. You do not need to navigate the permit process yourself — that is handled entirely in-house.
How does net metering work for Western Washington homeowners with solar panels?
Washington State's net metering program lets homeowners send excess solar energy back to the utility grid in exchange for bill credits. During sunny months, your system may generate more energy than your home uses, and those credits offset your bill during cloudier periods. The specific net metering rates and caps vary by utility provider — Strong Solar Solutions can walk you through how this applies to your specific utility during the free consultation.
How is the right solar system size determined for a Western Washington home?
System sizing is based on the household's average annual electricity usage drawn from utility bills, the roof's usable square footage and orientation, and the customer's energy goals — whether you want to offset 50%, 80%, or 100% of your usage. Strong Solar Solutions conducts a site assessment as part of the free quote process to produce an accurate recommendation specific to your home.
Can Strong Solar Solutions handle both the solar installation and an electrical panel upgrade in the same project?
Yes. Combining solar installation with an electrical panel upgrade in a single project is one of Strong Solar Solutions' core service offerings for Western Washington homeowners. It reduces the total project timeline, eliminates duplicate permit filings where possible, and ensures all work meets current electrical code requirements — with one crew and one point of contact throughout.
