Determining whether a solar generator is right for your home depends on your energy goals, your experience with outages, and your interest in reducing dependence on grid power and fossil fuels. A solar generator is ideal for homeowners who want backup power without the ongoing fuel costs and maintenance of traditional generators, those who already have or plan to install solar panels and want to store that energy for use during outages or after dark, households concerned about air quality and noise from combustion generators, and environmentally conscious homeowners who want their backup power to align with their sustainability values.
Common reasons homeowners choose solar generator installation include wanting silent, exhaust-free backup power that can operate indoors without ventilation concerns, reducing or eliminating monthly electricity bills by combining solar generation with battery storage, protecting against the increasing frequency and duration of Pacific Northwest power outages without fuel dependency, creating energy independence that insulates your household from utility rate increases and grid instability, and qualifying for federal and state incentives that make solar generator systems increasingly cost-competitive.
More importantly, solar generator installation involves solar panel mounting, electrical integration with your home’s system, battery storage installation, and utility interconnection requirements that demand licensed professional expertise. Proper installation ensures your system operates safely, qualifies for all available incentives, and performs reliably for decades.
Call us anytime at (425) 371-8570 to learn if a solar generator is right for your home.
A solar generator system combines solar panels that capture sunlight and convert it to electricity with battery storage that saves that electricity for use when the sun isn’t shining or when the grid goes down. An inverter converts the DC electricity produced by solar panels into the AC electricity your home’s appliances use, and a charge controller manages how the batteries are charged to maximize their lifespan and performance.
During daylight hours, your solar panels generate electricity that first powers your home’s current loads. Any excess generation charges your battery storage rather than being sent back to the grid at low compensation rates. In the evening and overnight, your battery storage discharges to power your home from stored solar energy. When a grid outage occurs, the system automatically disconnects from the utility and begins operating in island mode, continuing to power your home from stored energy and ongoing solar generation as long as sunlight is available.
Modern solar generator systems include smart monitoring through smartphone apps that show real-time solar production, battery state of charge, home energy consumption, and grid interaction, giving you complete visibility into your home’s energy situation at all times.
Curious how a solar generator system would perform at your home? Call us anytime at (425) 371-8570 for a free assessment.
Our solar generator installation process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your home’s energy consumption, roof or ground mount solar potential, electrical system capacity, and backup power goals. We analyze your utility bills to understand your energy usage patterns, assess available solar installation locations for optimal sun exposure, evaluate your main panel’s capacity for solar and battery interconnection, and design a system sized appropriately for your energy goals and budget.
The installation process involves mounting solar panels at optimally positioned locations on your roof or in a ground mount array, installing solar inverters and charge controllers with proper weatherproofing and electrical connections, mounting battery storage units in a suitable indoor or outdoor location, connecting all system components with properly sized conductors and overcurrent protection, installing a critical loads panel or whole-home backup configuration depending on your system design, and commissioning the system with thorough testing of all operating modes including grid-connected, battery backup, and solar charging.
We coordinate all utility interconnection applications and inspections required for grid-tied solar systems, ensuring your installation is fully approved and qualifies for net metering and all applicable incentive programs.

Using a solar generator for home backup power provides distinct advantages over traditional fuel-powered generators, most notably the ability to recharge from sunlight during extended outages rather than depending on fuel supplies that may be difficult to obtain during widespread emergencies. While a traditional generator requires a steady supply of gasoline or propane to continue operating, a solar generator with adequate battery capacity and solar panel production can theoretically provide indefinite backup power as long as the sun rises each day.
The practical backup capacity of a solar generator depends on your battery storage size, your solar panel production, and your household’s power consumption during the outage. We help you understand these relationships and design a system that meets your backup goals, whether that means powering a few critical circuits for several days or maintaining whole-home operation through extended cloudy weather periods with generous battery reserves.
Want to understand how long a solar generator could power your home? Call us anytime at (425) 371-8570 .
Choosing between a solar generator and a traditional combustion generator involves weighing upfront costs against long-term benefits, convenience factors, and your values around energy independence and environmental impact. Traditional generators have lower upfront costs and proven reliability for extended high-power output, but require ongoing fuel purchases, regular maintenance, produce noise and exhaust, and cannot operate indoors.
Solar generators have higher upfront costs but zero ongoing fuel expenses, silent operation, minimal maintenance requirements, and the ability to generate their own recharge from sunlight. They also provide daily energy storage benefits beyond just outage protection, reducing your utility bills during normal operation and potentially generating utility bill credits through net metering. Federal tax credits currently available for solar and battery storage systems significantly reduce the effective cost of solar generator installations.
Many homeowners find that the combination of daily energy bill savings, available tax incentives, and elimination of fuel costs makes solar generators highly competitive with traditional generators on a total cost of ownership basis over the system’s multi-decade lifespan.
Want help comparing your solar generator options? Call us anytime at (425) 371-8570 for an honest assessment.
Solar generator installation requires permits and inspections from both local building authorities and your utility company in all jurisdictions throughout Snohomish and King Counties. Grid-tied solar systems must meet utility interconnection requirements and receive utility approval before being energized, and battery storage systems require additional permitting to ensure safe installation and operation.
We handle all permitting, utility applications, and inspection coordination for your solar generator installation, including structural and electrical permits, utility interconnection applications, net metering enrollment where applicable, and all required inspections. Proper permitting also ensures your installation qualifies for the federal Investment Tax Credit and any applicable state or utility incentive programs that can significantly reduce your system’s net cost.

Eddie was an absolute pleasure to work with. Due to a scheduling mix-up, I found myself in a real bind, with other workers scheduled for the following day who couldn’t do their jobs until I had electricity run above my fireplace. Eddie went out of his way to rearrange his schedule and somehow managed to get someone to my house within just a couple of hours. The electrician he sent—I wish I could remember his name—did an excellent job. He asked lots of questions to make sure everything was done exactly the way I wanted it, carefully measured and double-checked the placement before drilling, and the finished work looks beautiful. He also cleaned everything up thoroughly before he left. I really appreciated Eddie going above and beyond to help me out on very short notice. Great service, excellent workmanship, and a company I would definitely use again.Posted on Google![]()

I found REddie Electric on a Google search looking to update all 9 of the hardwired smoke detectors in my home. Communication has been exceptional, I have been able to text with questions and requests, and received prompt responses, this quality of communication is really important in my world! I received a quote quickly for installation of 9 hardwired “smart” detectors, and was required to pay a 30% deposit to schedule. Yasir arrived on time, was professional, and did an excellent job with installation, testing and clean up. Wonderful attention to detail and was kind enough to greet all my cats and allow them to “help out”. He connected all detectors to my WiFi and Ring app. I really appreciate the ability to be notified of alarms when I am away from my home, and to be able to turn them off without having to push the physical button. I highly recommend REddie Electric, and will use them in the future for other services they offer.Posted on Google![]()

Eddie was wonderful working with for booking our recess lighting project. He gave us an upfront quote, was very responsive and didn't mind me asking a ton of questions. He answered every single one of my questions and I decided to book his company. Yasir worked on our home project and was polite, attentive and did a great job. We had 8 recess lights installed in our living room. Would highly recommend Reddie Electric!Posted on Google![]()

Reddie Electric is the best. They are one of the few that handle 24 hour electrical issues. I had a power failure and it was 12am and Eddie was out there at 1am and worked until it was fixed. I use him for all of my electrical needs.Posted on Google![]()
Joann Sykes10 September 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Found Reddie Electric on the web via Google. Had a problem with a single outlet that we couldn't figure out. They came and fixed it. Thru conversation I realized that I wanted to fix the issues from our inspection from when we bought this house a few years ago. Discussed it with Eddie, the price was doable, time frame was fairly quick considering he had to set up with PUD to cut power and the county to have an inspection. Eddie & Yasir replaced our breaker box, changed 8 outlets to gfci, both inside and outside & added 2 junction boxes in the attic for wires that were just laying on the insulation. Very happy with the results, everything looks good, everything works. We now have peace of mind now that our electrical is in good shape. Eddie always took the time to answer my questions and listen to me. Pics show new stuff. You can see in the 3rd picture a hole in the wall on the right one of the previous owners had put an outlet there connecting it straight to the breaker box which would not have been code. They put a new outlet in for us down below. Overall, I would hire Reddie Electric again and recommend him.+2Posted on Google![]()

Reddie Electric really helped me out! At the last minute we needed help with a security system install. Eddie had me scheduled and had an electrician, Yasir, at my door the next business day. Yasir was a pleasure to work with. He was patient with my requests and took the time to understand my needs. Thanks!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
