"Great information and Product selection."Reviewed"Great information and Product selection."Reviewed Aug 08, 2022
Quote turned out to be the best products submitted. Although, I went with a local installer, Max of Solar SME gave me great advise. In the end, I was afraid of the distance from Quote office to my house. Selected installer gave same product guidelines.

"Poor Customer Service experience"Reviewed
Updated"Poor Customer Service experience"Reviewed Apr 01, 2022
Updated Aug 04, 2022Update: 08/04/2022
Today make it two months and two days after a solar panel fail off my roof and another panel was dislodged and damaged. Although Solar SME Inc ordered replacement panels and optimizers, but their installers does not have any experience about solar. Before they sent installers to my property to replace the damaged solar panels and optimizers, I had at least 35 functioning panels. Today, only about 30 panels is barely working. Texas have had extreme hot temperatures for weeks, but each month, since the incident of 06/02/2022, my system barely produce more than 450 kwh of energy. Considering that I paid for 39 370 watts panels. In June, I paid almost $150 in energy cost. In July I am paying $366.64 in energy usage cost. Only God knows how much I'll pay for the month of August. I've given this company the benefit of the doubt, but they're only interested in new customers and does not honor warranty for existing customers. Please avoid this company if you can. Use them at your own risk.Update: 06/24/2022
After I posted my review of 06/20/2022, Solar SME Inc. finally begin to address my concerns. When their technician visited my property, it turns out that more panels were lose from their clamps and could have fallen off the roof if not repaired. Basem Yani my customer support specialist is addressing my system issues. It's very unfortunate that Solar SME Inc needed a scathing public review to finally make a move. I'm giving them 3-star for good effort.Review Update: 06/20/2022
In terms of customer support and customer service, this is the worst company to use. After six months of installing my system, on 06/02/2022 I reported to Solar SME Inc that their solar panels are falling of my two-story building roof. Luckily, no one was outside when the panel fall of the roof, it could have been life threatning. Due to the damage caused by the fallen solar panels, my system has been operating at 50% capacity. Now three weeks after repoerting this issue Solar SME Inc. is yet to send a technician to come to my property and confrim that remaing panels are properly secured. My life and that of my family are in danger because of their sloppy work. If there's anything like a nagative star rating, I would have given them minus nine stars for endangering my life. If you plan to use them, bear in mind that your life could be in potential danger too. Be warned!I worked with Michael Lewis as my project manager and Michael was very helpful to get my system start and running. However, my installation exceeded expected project timeline due to exessive SolarEdge hardware failures. I guess COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to the delay. You have to be a very engaging customer to get them do their job. Overall, they're very knowledagle on residential solar installations. Basem Yani provided excellent customer service to provision my system for optimal performance. I'll recommend Solar SME to other customers.

How Solar guarantees Return on investment
• Savings on utility bills
Solar saves on energy costs and electric bills. One of the leading reasons to go solar is that you can either eliminate or significantly reduce your electric bill. Your savings are far greater over the period of next 10 to 25 years since electricity prices will continue to rise, your savings will continue to grow every year over the 25+ year lifespan of your solar panel system. Similarly, many consumers can now get a leveled cost of energy of $0.10 per kilowatt-hour. When you compare this to the average amount, you will pay to your utility for power over the next 25 years that is exactly the time Companies ensure warranties for solar panels, the average consumer with a $150 per month power bill can see savings in the range $60,000 - $100,000 plus over the life of a solar system. Any energy post that warranty period is an additional bonus for the lifetime. Energy demand is higher in the mornings and then early in the evening. This is the period when the price of the electricity peaks. Solar energy performs its maximum production capacity during these times. Eliminating or reducing one of your largest monthly expenses alone makes all the difference. More so, you can sell any excess electricity from your solar panels back to the grid.
• Tax Credit
Federal solar tax credit gives you a dollar-for-dollar reduction against your federal income tax. Starting in 2020, the value of the tax credit will step down to 26%, and then again to 22% in 2021. After 2021, the tax credit for residential solar ends. There are state tax programs and rebates in your area that encourage solar too, but the benefits of solar aren’t just financial.
.
• Property Value Increases
Many studies the most notable of which are from Wells Fargo and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab have shown that Solar panel system ownership increases your property resale value by 3 to 4%, while third party ownership (e.g. leasing) does not. That automatically secures your investment on solar from day one.
• Clean Energy
Solar energy produced by solar panels will help reduce the production of potentially dangerous and environmentally hazardous sources of energy. Solar energy will not only help you revert your carbon footprint but also enhance your systems to ensure you live in a carbon-free home. There are some states in the U.S. that encourage individuals to invest in other people’s roofs to create a lot more solar energy.
Solar energy is an environmentally friendly and healthy alternative for fossil fuels as it is non-polluting, clean, reliable and renewable source of energy. It does not pollute the air by releasing harmful gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide or Sulphur oxide. Above all, solar energy does not require any source of fuel to produce electricity and thus eliminates any transportation of fuel or storage of radioactive waste. Decreased environmental pollution will naturally create much healthier atmospheric conditions for current and future generations.
• Easy Install & Zero Maintenance
Unlike wind and geothermal power stations that require them to be tied with drilling machines, Installing Solar Panels does not require any wires, cords or power sources. It can be installed on the rooftops, which means no new space is needed and each home or business user can generate their own electricity. Moreover, it can be installed in distributed fashion which means no large scale installations are needed. With advancements in technology and an increase in production, the cost of solar panels has come down greatly.
Once installed you will enjoy the benefits for generations, while injecting either none or almost any amount for its maintenance. Overtime, if your energy needs change and it would be a lot easier to upgrade on an existing system. Also, Solar works exquisitely well in remote locations where running power lines would not be cost effective.
• Solar Energy Life Span
As long as there is sun, solar energy can be deployed anywhere. Even when it is cloudy, you can still use the solar panel system. More so, contrary to general belief that solar panels life span is around 20 to 25 years that is generally confused with the warranty of quality Solar Panels. Most manufacturers offer the 25-year standard solar panel warranty, so power output should not be less than 80% of rated power after 25 years. Consequently, Solar scientists insist that the life span of a Solar Power is at least Lifetime and most times it can last up to generations. A 33W solar panel (Arco Solar 16-2000) outperformed its original factory specifications 30 years after it was manufactured and World's first modern solar panel still works after 60 years. Solar Panel technology and quality today are much more robust, durable, and effective like any other technology in the world. Scientific and research evolution has improved and upgraded everything present from its origination overtime. For that reason, modern Solar panels are surely designed to outlast and outperform any of its technological predecessors. Research available in the following link establishes it as a matter of fact.
