This year, Ecotech Solar marks a major milestone—our 20th anniversary! What an incredible journey it’s been, from humble beginnings to becoming one of the leading solar energy companies in Bellingham. Our 20th Anniversary Celebration was a true reflection of our community-centered ethos, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing local businesses and neighbors that helped make the day extra special.
A Day to Celebrate Solar and Community
Held at the picturesque Port of Bellingham’s Squalicum Boathouse in Zuanich Point Park, the event was a wonderful mix of fun, reflection, and appreciation for everyone who’s been a part of Ecotech Solar’s journey. The setting was perfect for reconnecting with old friends, meeting new faces, and celebrating the collective achievements of our community in advancing renewable energy solutions in Whatcom, Skagit, and Island County .
