Learn MoreSolar panels are considered more valuable where they can offset high energy prices or high energy consumption. The electricity rates in Washington are the second-lowest in the nation, and the energy usage is not that far above average. As such, solar panels aren't as valuable in Washington as they are in most other states.
The climate in Washington State is generally moderate, which is good news for solar panel efficiency. Most solar panels have efficiency ratings between 15-20% from the manufacturer, although some newer panels can be as efficient as 22%.

Solar energy can be effectively used in Washington State, especially during the long sunny days of summer to produce electricity and sell it to the grid for later use during the short, dark winter days. However, there are instances where solar energy may be the only source.
In Washington, it is allowed to sell excess energy produced by solar panels back to the local utility grid through net metering, receiving credits that can be used against future energy bills.
In Washington State, solar panels should be angled around 30 degrees to the south for optimal efficiency during the summer. In the winter, they should be angled even steeper. This is most often achieved by mounting solar panels on a south-facing pitched roof.
