Company Overview
A&R Solar, an employee-owned company structured as a Social Purpose Corporation (SPC)
Seattle, Washington, United States
2007
Approximately 50 employees (source: a-rsolar.com). No specific revenue figures from 2023 or later are publicly available, but the company is recognized as one of the largest and fastest-growing solar providers in the Pacific Northwest (source: amicussolar.com).
What They Do
A&R Solar specializes in solar photovoltaic systems, battery storage solutions, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, focusing exclusively on these technologies without involvement in wind or hydrogen solutions. The company provides comprehensive services including custom design, permitting, installation, and maintenance for residential solar panels, which average over 12 kW per modern system. They also offer tailored home battery backups designed to address Seattle's frequent outages and overcast conditions, as well as commercial systems for businesses, schools, and public utility districts (source: a-rsolar.com). A&R Solar targets residential homeowners in Washington and Oregon who are facing high energy bills from local utilities, leveraging net energy metering and available rebates to make solar more accessible (source: a-rsolar.com). Their competitive edge lies in their employee ownership model, B Corp certification, and a strong commitment to social and environmental standards, which has earned them recognition on Solar Power World's Top Contractors lists from 2015 to 2024 (source: solarpowerworldonline.com).
Projects & Track Record
A&R Solar has a notable track record of completed projects, including the installation of a solar hot water system at the Seattle Aquarium in 2009 and a significant 73.6 kW photovoltaic array at Neighborhood House in 2010, which was the largest in Seattle at that time. They also completed the first commercial PV system at Walla Walla Community College, showcasing their capability in both residential and commercial sectors (source: a-rsolar.com). Over the years, A&R Solar has installed more than 4,000 residential solar systems, contributing to their reputation as a trusted provider for public utility districts, schools, and various businesses, including those near Starbucks headquarters (source: a-rsolar.com). Their participation in the 2012 Solarize Northeast campaign, which involved installing solar on 52 homes in Seattle, further highlights their commitment to community solar initiatives (source: a-rsolar.com). While specific ongoing projects are not detailed in recent records, their geographic presence primarily spans Washington and Oregon, serving a diverse clientele (source: a-rsolar.com).
Recent Developments
