Why Everett Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Snohomish County's energy landscape is evolving rapidly. With Snohomish County PUD rates rising 2.5% in 2026—on top of significant increases in 2024 and 2025 driven by extreme weather events—and Washington's Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) pushing utilities toward carbon neutrality by 2030, homeowners and businesses throughout the Everett area are discovering the financial and environmental benefits of solar energy, battery storage, and reliable backup power systems in the Pacific Northwest.
💰
Rising Utility Costs
Snohomish County PUD residential rates will reach 10.61 cents per kWh in April 2026, after consecutive increases driven by $45 million in additional power costs from the January 2024 MLK weekend deep freeze and $16 million in storm restoration from November's bomb cyclone windstorm. Puget Sound Energy customers in parts of Snohomish County face even steeper increases—11.5% in 2024 with another 9.3% proposed for 2026. As Washington's CETA mandates drive infrastructure investments in clean energy, grid modernization, and wildfire prevention, further rate increases are expected across all utilities. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as PUD and PSE rates continue climbing.
🌧️
Pacific Northwest Storm Resilience
Everett and Snohomish County face increasing severe weather threats—from atmospheric river events and bomb cyclone windstorms to Puget Sound convergence zone snow, ice storms, and the rare sub-freezing temperature events that have devastated the regional grid in recent years. The November 2024 windstorm left hundreds of thousands without power across western Washington, and the January 2024 deep freeze sent electricity prices soaring. Battery storage and standby generators provide essential backup power for heating systems, sump pumps, home offices, refrigeration, medical equipment, and business continuity when Pacific Northwest storms knock out power for hours or days at a time.
☀️
Solar Works in the Pacific Northwest
Despite its reputation for rain, Washington State averages 135 peak sun hours per month—comparable to Massachusetts and New Jersey, two of America's strongest solar markets. Everett's long summer days (15+ hours of daylight in June) generate the bulk of annual solar production, and Washington's 1:1 net metering lets you bank those summer credits to offset darker winter months. The Puget Sound region's cooler temperatures actually improve panel efficiency, allowing systems to produce approximately 80% as much power as Los Angeles despite receiving only 70% of the sunlight. Well-designed systems generate approximately 1,100 kWh per installed kW annually—more than enough to dramatically reduce or eliminate your electricity bills.
🌿
Washington's Clean Energy Commitment
Washington's Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) requires all utilities to be carbon neutral by 2030 and 100% carbon-free by 2045—among the most aggressive clean energy mandates in the nation. Snohomish County PUD already sources the majority of its power from Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) hydroelectricity, and is investing heavily in renewable generation and grid modernization. For Everett homeowners and businesses, going solar aligns with the Pacific Northwest's environmental values while providing immediate financial returns through Washington's strong net metering program, sales tax exemption, and protection against the infrastructure costs being passed through to ratepayers as utilities comply with CETA requirements.

Yes—and this is one of the most common misconceptions about Pacific Northwest solar. Washington State averages 135 peak sun hours per month, comparable to Massachusetts and New Jersey, two of America's top solar markets. Despite its cloudy reputation, the Puget Sound region benefits from exceptionally long summer days (15+ hours of daylight in June) that generate the majority of annual solar production—and Washington's 1:1 net metering lets you bank those abundant summer credits to offset darker winter months.
Everett Solar Performance Facts:
Annual production: Well-designed systems generate approximately 1,100 kWh per installed kW—about 80% of what the same system would produce in Los Angeles, despite receiving only 70% of the sunlight, thanks to cooler temperatures improving panel efficiency
Seasonal pattern: 74% of annual production occurs May–October; net metering credits banked during these months offset November–March grid consumption
Cloudy day performance: Modern panels produce 50–70% of rated output under bright overcast conditions and 5–10% even under dark overcast—meaning they generate power year-round, not just on sunny days
Cool-temperature advantage: Solar panels operate more efficiently in cooler weather; the Puget Sound region's moderate temperatures (rarely exceeding 90°F) mean panels maintain near-peak efficiency throughout summer, unlike hot-climate installations where heat reduces output
Rain benefit: Pacific Northwest rain naturally cleans panels, reducing maintenance needs and avoiding the dust/pollen buildup that degrades production in drier climates
Long summer daylight: Everett's 48°N latitude provides 15+ hours of daylight from late May through mid-July—more daily sun hours than locations much farther south
Real Everett System Performance:
A typical 8kW residential system in Everett produces approximately 8,800 kWh annually—enough to offset 70–85% of average Snohomish County household consumption. With Snohomish PUD's 1:1 net metering, homeowners bank generous summer credits that carry them through the darker months. When paired with battery storage, Everett-area solar systems provide both energy bill reduction and critical backup power during the Pacific Northwest's increasingly severe storm events—a combination that's driving record solar adoption across Snohomish County.
