Smart Solar = Smart Choice

We had a great experience using Smart Solar. They provided prompt service, used high quality panels (made in the USA), and were extremely competitive on pricing. Their team responded to questions quickly and were helpful every step of the way. I interviewed 6 different companies to provide solar for our home and Smart Solar was the best choice by far. I highly recommend them!

Solid Company

After considering solar for many years, I finally decided to investigate what was truly possible beyond just “lowering my electric bill”. I started my search through Energy Sage and was brought into contact with several companies, who to their credit, all came out personally to meet with me and discuss their products. In the end, one company stood out above them all and that was Smart Solar. Throughout the entire process, they have been up-front, consistent, reliable, communicative, and responsive. Jordan, who was the initial sales representative, worked with me through the 2022 Christmas and New Year period to put together the final installation package as well as shepherding the permitting and financing process all the way through. Jenn, the project manager, then took the ball and made sure that everything never missed a beat by answering any questions almost immediately, coordinating the schedules, and making sure that I always knew what to do in order to keep the project moving forward. After getting everything signed off on and approved, they were able to complete the installation in around four months, which was early January to early May. Granted, my 14kW system was a large investment for our family, but for this type of product you are also investing in a company. It has been a few weeks since we were turned on by PGE, and we have already far exceeded our first 1,000kwh of total energy before the end of the second week. The solar hardware is solid, and the supporting app is easy to use and very useful as it allows me to track everything down to what each individual microinverter is doing. The physical installation was large at 35 total solar panels, but it was done in such a way that the aesthetics and performance of the system are very balanced. The icing on the cake is that the final bid per kwh was lower than the others that I had received and offered better overall terms with respect to warranty and servicing. However, I was not sold on them being the lowest overall bid, I was sold on their dedication to what they do and what drives them in this industry. Granted, there any many suspect companies out there in the world of solar, but this one is doing their level best to give the industry a very good name indeed.

SMART SOLAR is the way to go!

I highly recommend Smart Solar. The quality of product is excellent, while the pricing is very competitive. They do a great job explaining how the solar process works. I am very impressed with the people that work for Smart Solar, from the sales staff to the project manager to the installers. They take care of everything with setup and the energy company. I really appreciate how clear and accurate they were with respect to the procedure and timelines. AAA rating from me!

Smart Solar is a Great Company Overall

Our recent experience with Smart Solar was a very positive, straight forward, and simple process. We had been shopping around for solar panels with several companies, but once we met with Smart Solar, our search was over. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with, professional, not pushy or aggressive, and very upfront with the overall process and what to expect. All of the staff we interacted with were prompt, kind, and overall seemed to like their job. We were impressed and would recommend them if you are looking to go solar.

Awesome Solar Team!

They were very professional, they did all the work, setting the appointments with us and showing up when they said they would. They stayed in communication with us. They walked us through how to monitor our system with their app, monitor our system with us, and called when our system was started to ensure everything was working as it should be. Everything they promised they delivered. They were on time and courteous when they were here. They always answer their phone. Our system is up & running and doing very well. We would recommend them to anyone who wants to install solar.
