What our Seattle Area Customers Are Saying
Clean Energy Innovators
Jocelyn LawrenceWorking with Randy and Clean Energy Innovators was a breeze! We had quotes from others that were drastically overpriced and felt like just another sale to them. Randy took the time to explain all details and figure out the correct amount of panels we needed for the result we wanted while caring about us as customers. The installation was simple and the crew worked efficiently. We hardly noticed them working, which is huge with four kiddos! Since installation, Randy has checked in and confirmed all details with the final steps with PSE. Would recommend Randy and Clean Energy Innovators to anyone!KELLEY JONESFive stars just isn't enough for everyone at Clean Energy Innovators. Personal service is their game and we were all impressed with their expert attention to detail, quick installation and followup. A big "six stars" shout out to Randy and the crew!Ilia GildermanI received a white glove service from these guys, and also an awesome present on top. Highly recommend.Karen PersonAfter trying to work with two other solar companies who told us we had too many trees surrounding our house to have solar panels, Randy took the time to look at more pictures of our property and said we, in fact, could have solar panels installed and eliminate our electric bills each month. Working with a company that responds immediately to one's inquiries, going out of their way to make it work for you, is not only unusual, but an enjoyable experience. I appreciate the professionalism of Clean Energy Innovators and their customer service and response time are outstanding. R&K Vashon Island, WAXiao YangRandy Sprout, Owner/Operator of Clean Energy Innovators, was incredible to work with. He and his team went more above and beyond to make sure our system was operating correctly and efficiently. Our solar system had problems since the day we moved in the place. We tried many companies and made the countless calls but nobody care about it. We were struggling and almost gave up until we found Randy. We truly appreciated Randy’s professionalism, attention to detail, and his efforts to help us contact with Generac. Clean Energy gets our recommendation. They are the best in this area!!!Julie MillerI had been looking into solar energy when I saw a colleague who highly recommended Clean Energy with cofounder Randy Sprout. She was thrilled with her solar panels and said she pays nothing for her electric bill. I knew a bit more about solar power when I asked Randy to come speak to us. He gave us just the facts, a design plan that would bring us to no energy bills. He presented reflective solar panels, something I hadn't heard from the others, said they take on only one job site at a time and don't leave until they finish. They estimated about a week or so instead of several weeks other companies reported. More importantly he never pressured us to sign up for anything until we said we were ready. It is difficult to trust people who are hard core salespeople but I trusted Randy. His prices were competitive. I encourage anyone interested in getting solar energy to do their research and ask lots of questions. Interview different companies, get back up batteries or not. Clean Energy gets my recommendation.Jason ReeseAbsolutely incredible. We have used a lot contractors in the past several years and Randy and his crew with clean energy innovators are hands down, without a doubt the best. My family is committed to reducing our carbon footprint and self sufficient lifestyle and the solar panels with battery system integrating with our propane generator gives us complete energy independence. Truly remarkable. This is the future and these are the guys to get it done.Michael yonkerRandy Sprout, Owner/Operator of Clean Energy Innovators, was incredible to work with. He designed a back up battery system that works seamlessly with our existing solar system. Randy and his team went above and beyond to make sure our system was operating correctly and efficiently. We truly appreciated Randy’s professionalism, attention to detail, and his commitment to our project. We could not be happier that we chose a Generac battery system, and Randy Sprout and his company to make this project a reality.Roger SwitzerClean Energy Innovators excels in professional planning and support of its Generac-based solar backup solutions. From our first contact with the company owner, communication has been exceptional. The proposed system was customized to meet our backup and electrical usage requirements. A detailed engineering and permitting plan was submitted for our review before installation, and our suggestions were incorporated into the plan before final submittal. The layout of our home was particularly challenging for placement of battery backup since the electric service entrance is at the lower corner of the house furthest from the garage where batteries are normally located. CEI provided great planning support to meet the safety requirements of both the city of Anacortes and the electrical requirements of Washington Labor and Industries. They also went the extra mile to make the equipment installation as neat as possible in our home. We did encounter some intermittent problems with solar production on one of the solar strings shortly after installation, but the owner of CEI stayed in close contact with us and Generac during the debugging process. The issue turned out to be an intermittent solar panel which was quickly replaced under warranty. CEI stands out from other businesses, when it comes to exceptional customer support. We are now producing all of our electricity needs and exporting the excess to the grid to be banked for usage during the lower sun winter months. So far, the electric bill is limited to the monthly connection fee, and we expect to make it through the rest of the year in that situation using the banked production. A feature of the Generac battery backup system that was attractive to us was the modularity of capacity in 3 kWh increments. We have the entry 9 kWh system which could be expanded up to 18 kWh if our electric backup needs should expand in the future. Since our heat and cooking is natural gas, the 9kWh battery will be sufficient for whole-home backup through an overnight power outage. The Generac battery and inverter system has been working well to meet our needs which originally were motivated by a desire for a backup power source. We are happy to have chosen the solar-powered battery backup over a natural-gas powered generator since we get the benefits every day that the sun rises. We are also very happy to have chosen Clean Energy Innovators as our solar backup provider.Kathy WanderThe Generac Solar + battery system that was installed by Clean Energy Innovators has performed perfectly - precisely as promised and expected. We are delighted that Clean Energy Innovators helped us use the Generac PWRview app to diagnose and resolve water heater settings that were adding hundreds of dollars a year to our electric bill.
Our Specialty Design Areas
We offer high-efficiency solar panels that are suitable for residential, commercial, and off-grid properties.

What to Know When Considering Clean Energy
Solar + Battery Cost Optimization
Using solar panels with a battery backup is the most efficient method. The batteries use the same equipment as solar panels, so it’s more affordable to set them up together than have a separate project for each.
Solar Alone Provides No Backup Protection
You can use solar panels without battery backup, but it won’t provide energy independence. Having rooftop solar panels and a battery system together can keep your lights on even when the grid goes out.
Beware National Solar Financing
Be wary of companies in the solar industry that push solar financing options. There may be hidden markup and fees involved when you install solar panels with financing.
Solar Creates Energy for Decades
Our solar panels have a 25-year warranty, but they can last way longer than that. Some solar panels from the 60’s and 70’s still operate effectively, so solar equipment could provide solar power for 40 or 50 years.
Excellent Incentives For Clean Energy
The Inflation Reduction Act allows you to get a 30% tax credit for using solar power. This can make installing solar panels and batteries more affordable.
Solar Has A Good ROI In Washington
Installing solar panels makes strong economic sense in Washington. Our state has a similar climate to Germany, which is the country that uses the most solar power after China.
