What are the benefits of a commercial solar system?
In a world grappling with the consequences of climate change, businesses are increasingly turning to sustainable practices to meet their energy needs. Among the myriad solutions available, the installation of solar panels on commercial buildings stands out as a powerful and transformative choice. Not only does this approach align with environmental goals, but it also presents a host of tangible benefits for businesses, ranging from cost savings to enhanced corporate responsibility. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the compelling reasons why opting for a commercial solar system, with MAD Energy NW leading the way, can revolutionize the energy landscape for your business.
Reducing Energy Costs: A Strategic Investment
At the forefront of considerations for businesses is the imperative to control operational costs. Traditional energy sources, subject to volatile price fluctuations, pose a continuous challenge for budget planning. By investing in a commercial solar system, businesses can exert greater control over their energy expenses. MAD Energy NW specializes in creating tailored solar solutions that not only meet the unique energy demands of commercial buildings but also optimize energy production, ensuring maximum cost savings over the system’s lifetime. As electricity costs continue to rise, the decision to harness solar power becomes increasingly strategic, offering a stable and predictable energy expenditure.

Client Testimonials
Mike put a couple of outlets in our deck ceiling for a heater and a string of patio lights. He explained everything he was doing in layman’s terms, and suggested moving a light switch inside so our existing deck lights and patio light switch would be in the same spot. We would never have thought of it, but much more convenient! He was nothing but professional and pleasant throughout the process. Highly recommend him!
I've worked with Mike for many years and have always seen the quality of his craft be nothing short of pure excellence. He's a treasure trove of electrical knowledge and truly a skilled artisan, I would not hesitate to recommend him as not only an electrician but also a stand up, honest man.
These guys are so good! Hire them! They're very communicative, professional, old-school polite in office and in home. There was no question when they'd show + cleaned up after themselves. Was a job well done on 2 ceiling fans, a floor outlet and a ceiling fixture.
Wow!!! From the time I called (talked to Hailey) to having the owner/electrician come fix some can lights I received excellent service. THANK You!!
Mike is the best electrician I’ve had worked with. He explained the process, cost and time accurately. Most importantly respectful and trustworthy. A+ class experience. I would recommend for anyone that needs a dependable and trustworthy contractor for any job size. Thank you again for your wonderful work!
Mike, Dixon and Frank we're very easy to work with. Communication was always top notch. Project started and finished on time. Plus the passion for their work really comes through.
The owner and Master Electrician of MAD Energy NW, Mike Dalton, is now our go to guy for all things electrical and also for general contracting. He came to our newly purchased but dated home and helped us design a lighting set up that worked well for us and updated our 1970’s condo electrical to current standards. His work is beautiful and he is both professional and efficient. He was willing to work with me to get every part of the job right the first time and walked me through each step of the process, answering any questions I had along the way. I wish every contractor out there was like Mike; his attention to detail sets him apart. I am so glad we hired him and we will both used him again in the future and recommend him to all our friends! Give yourself an easy remodel, call him.
I had a bad experience with an electrical contractor so I reached out to Mad Energy NW to fix all the errors from the other guy. Mad Energy NW is so professional, they quickly identified the errors and remedied them. I was very frustrated with the other guys and just needed the job done with the minimum of stress possible. They charged less then the first guy, was easier to work with and the work was so professional when he was done. Organized conduit and properly labeled panels and switches. 1000% better. Don't make the mistake I did, just hire these guys first.
They're very communicative, professional, old-school polite in office and in home. There was no question when they'd show + cleaned up after themselves. Was a job well done on 2 ceiling fans, a floor outlet and a ceiling fixture.
I bought a home with a number of electrical issues and Mike was able to quickly solve each issue so I could move into a safe home. Mike was easy to work with, I was impressed with his wide electrical knowledge, and I will call him the next time I have any electrical needs. Thank you MAD Energy NW!
I thought most contractors were like Mad Energy Northwest but that’s not the case. I recently had a different contractor work on my house from tree damage I had no idea when they were coming and still don’t know when they’re going to come back and finish the work and messy. It’s great to know when your contractor is coming, what work is being done and a clean workspace which is what is what I received from Mad Energy NW.
Our kitchen lights and bathroom outlets just randomly stopped working after being in our house for a year. I reached out to MAD Energy NW after seeing a Facebook post about them. Hailey responded within hours to see when we could have Mike come out and gave us a quote for what to expect. They were able to come out within one business day. Mike was on time and really friendly. He was great with the dog, explained everything he was doing, and upgraded our stuff where he could. He was so understanding and careful with our belongings and kept everything clean. I would recommend Mike to anyone who needs electric work and wants to support an amazing local business!
I was referred to MAD Energy NW through a colleague of mine who hired Mike (the owner) to do some electrical work on an investment property of his. After looking up and verifying his license with the county to be active and free from violation I gave him a call to pick his brain and get a second opinion estimate. Mike was able to quickly and concisely explain the work to be completed in such a way so that anyone could easily understand it's complexity. He offered two options that would bring the electrical up to code giving me the choice of how to proceed and I really appreciate that. I didnt feel like I was being sold. He showed up early and stayed until all my questions were answered leaving me with peace of mind. Very glad to have finally found an electrician I can trust. Mike is a Master Electrician and a perfectionist in his trade, he was also polite and courteous. It has been my experience in dealing with home remodels with all types of tradesmen and general contractors that there is an overwhelming level of arrogance and bravado that one has to navigate through. You won't experience that when you choose to do business with the professionals at MAD Energy NW. Thank you Mike for all your help! You've definitely earned my business!
Mike did such an amazing job upgrading my electrical panel that we had him come back to install can lighting and remove some old wiring in the attic. He also has a great work ethic and attitude.
Highly recommend MAD Energy. Mike did great work and explained everything in a way I could understand. We will definitely be using him again. Thank you for your great work!
I would recommend Mike as an electrician to my friends, because I know the quality of work he does, he treats his installations as it would be his personal home projects. No need to say more!

Solar Systems
What we offer
Roof System
This is the most cost-effective application, which in turn provides the best return on your investment. Solar panels are more efficient than ever! Couple that with a 30% income tax credit, there’s never been a better time to install solar panels on your home.
Ground system
Rooftop solar is not your only option for panel placement, and sometimes is not the best option. If you have the space for it, a ground mount solar array offers the opportunity to install more solar than what may fit on your roof. In addition to being easier to clean, ground-mount solar will typically run more efficiently since the system operates under less heat creating less friction as the solar energy transfers to your home electrical system.
BATTERY BACKUP SOLUTIONS
Considering a backup source for power during a power outage? Adding battery backup to your solar project is a great way to store energy for those stormy days, and eliminates the need to maintain a gas engine like a generator. These batteries run noise free and automatically transfer power when needed. And YES, these do also qualify for the 30% federal income tax credit!
We are the premier commercial, residential, and new construction solar company in Washington State.
