Solar Power For Your Home

If you live in Tacoma Washington, you’ve probably noticed your power bill creeping up—and it’s not slowing down. Tacoma Public Utilities (TPU) has been raising electricity rates, and with more rate hikes expected. Staying on the grid is getting more expensive.

Why A&R Solar Is The Best Tacoma Solar Company

Home Battery Storage for Tacoma

Tacoma homeowners know power outages can strike anytime, especially during winter storms. While solar panels alone won’t keep your home powered during an outage, pairing them with a home battery storage system ensures you have electricity when you need it most.

With battery storage, you’ll use more of your own solar energy, rely less on the grid, and save money on utility bills while gaining peace of mind during blackouts.

A&R Solar offers two battery storage systems.

What Tacoma Solar Customers Say About A&R Solar

  • I had a system installed about three weeks ago and couldn’t be more pleased. Communication was excellent. The quality of workmanship was top notch. The installation crew was very careful, professional and friendly. Even the city inspector was impressed with the quality of work and materials. Thank you A&R.

    – Russell H.

  • A&R Solar provided me with first-class service from the beginning to the end of the process of adding a solar system to my house. I cannot praise highly enough the team who initiated my contact, made sure I got the available government rebates, installed the panels and made sure the interface with my utility provider went smoothly, and answered my every question promptly. Absolutely 5 stars!

    – Dean W.

  • I don't do five-star ratings lightly, but these guys (and gals) deserve it. From initial consultation to final delivery, everything went smoothly and communication was excellent. We're very happy with the results.

    – Steve Z.

  • A&R is a great company. Every person I dealt with was kind and professional. They provided clear explanation of the timeline and each step of the process. I recommend them highly.

    – Kristel M.

  • After months of looking and shopping around for different solar companies we chose A&R. The price, warranties, clarity in the sales process, quality of work and product were all better than other companies, and so far our research has paid off. The experience of dealing with A&R has been great so far, with strong early communication and great attention to detail when installing our system. My system just got turned on today so I'm sure things will arise as time goes on but we are happy with A&R and would highly recommend them if you want to go solar.

    – Scottie L.

Beware Solar Scams In Tacoma

Tacoma’s solar installations are booming—but that’s also led to an increase in misleading sales tactics from companies using aggressive door-to-door teams and false promises about “free solar”.

At A&R Solar, we do things differently. Our Zero Slick Promise means:

  • No High-Pressure Sales – We educate, never push. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision that’s right for your home.
  • Honest Pricing – No bait-and-switch tactics or misleading claims about “free solar.” We walk you through real incentives and financing options.
  • Local, Long-Term Support – Unlike companies that disappear after installation, we’ve been serving Tacoma homeowners since 2007—and we’ll be here for years to come.
