Meet the family
Owner CEO and Master Electrician Derek started the company in 2011, using a decade of electrical experience with commercial and residential firms. Responsible for setting the standard of excellence here at NWES, ensuring that our teams build systems better than “to code” by using the best, not simply adequate, methods and products in all our projects. Derek has built strong relationships with the local jurisdictions and utilities, not one to sit back and wait for the industry to keep up with where he thinks it should be. He’s held multiple classes at our offices, teaching inspectors and utility professionals about the latest advances in technology, particularly his knowledge of the interconnection of Tesla’s Powerwall battery system.

About the Office
Exemplifying an all-electric building that runs on solar energy, our Kenmore office features solar PV systems on the roofs of the main office and the energy office. We have three EVs regularly at the shop, two Teslas and one Rivian. LED lighting, ductless heat pump, and polished concrete floor keep our energy use low, allowing for maximized usage of the solar energy we generate on-site.
If you drive an EV, we invite you to come by our shop and charge up on solar energy! While you wait, you can meet the team and the office pets and have a freshly brewed coffee or tea! If you are reading this during the day, you can see how much solar energy our office produces in real time! Look at our energy production monitoring by clicking on the button below.
