Smart Solar Energy

Highly recommend Smart Solar Energy! I am a very satisfied customer. If you are looking for solar panels on your home, look no further than Smart Solar Energy. I did my research by examining the best solar companies in the Portland area and receiving quotes from the top rated companies. Smart Solar Energy was the best company for several reasons. I worked with Jordan to receive a quote and he was extremely patient, walked me through the process of going solar, provided me multiple options for solar, and was not pushy in the slightest. He helped educate me on the various factors to consider when evaluating if solar and what type of system was right for me. The best part was Smart Solar Energy had the lowest price-per-watt (make sure to calculate this when shopping offers!) and worked with me to install a system to cover almost all of my energy needs. After signing with them, I worked with Jenn (the project manager) to organize the install. Installation was completed within a week and was done flawlessly! Jenn was extremely communicative during the install process and handled scheduling the inspection, the smart meter install with PGE, and setting us up on the app to monitor our system. After the system was turned on, there were 2 panels with issues and Jenn handled everything to get the microinverters fixed. Smart Solar Energy worked very hard and provided an excellent product at the best price and flawless installation service. You should go with them, and I am confident if you research other options you will come to the same conclusion.

I had no knowledge and was a little skeptical about Solar energy or Solar product in general. But when I contacted Smart Solar Energy they really took time and went through every steps and questions that I had. I want to give a credit to Taylor, Jordan, Jenn particularly and the installing team for their prompt and excellent service. The best part about their company is they are not pushy and pressure me to buy the product. I’m enjoying my solar energy now and it has saved so much money from electric bill.

I found information about Smart Solar from the website of energysage. I put my information there and after a bidding process, I selected Smart Solar for my project. They offered me a compititive quote for my project and also, they went through multiple meeting sessions to explain the process and address any queries I had. I have found them to be punctual about the schedule be it meeting or installment setup. On the day of installment, I have found them to come on time and complete the instalation with very minimal issues. The system went through inspection and turned on by PGE officials and all of these was co-ordinated by Jenn (my project manager). In brief, it was easy to work with Smart Solar.

Smart Solar Energy installed a 9.43 kilowatt system, generated by 23 solar panels mounted on our garage roof, in May 2024. Our electricity power bill was reduced by 85% compared to our May, 2023 bill. To say that we are delighted is a gross under statement. A Smart Solar representative returned my call on the same day of my initial inquiry. Our first Zoom consultation meeting occurred only a few days later. At that time, we were presented with a detailed engineering plan for our project, including a diagram of optimal solar panel location, our power consumption needs, and realistic cost-reduction offsets by going solar. All steps involved in the process were clearly spelled out, from an on-site survey with an engineer to permitting, installation, and inspection processes. After personally contacting references from other Smart Solar customers—who all sang the company’s high praises, without reservation—we signed the contract for Smart Solar to do the job for a very competitive and reasonable cost. Every aspect of the proposed work proceeded flawlessly and exactly according to the planned timeline. High quality, USA manufactured panels were installed by two licensed electricians and two skilled technicians. All of the daunting permitting, paperwork, and arrangements for inspections were handled by very well-informed Smart Solar administrative staff. Upon job completion, we received a thorough exit interview with technical experts who explained how the system works and how to monitor it using an intuitive phone application. Smart Solar is the most professional contracting company that I have ever dealt with in the course of my 50 years as a home owner. This is a well-established top-drawer, reputable solar contractor that operates as a well-oiled machine. All company staff, including administrative and technical support, are promptly accessible by phone and email. Their competence and responsiveness is unparalleled. Smart Solar’s warranty on labor and parts exceeds that of competitors by a country mile. Final project costs were exactly as proposed, with no hidden fees or after the fact charges. I readily refer my friends to Smart Solar owing to my total trust in and satisfaction with the integrity of this local company.

Getting a solar system done is no easy job for someone who hasn't done it before - and most of us have not. Talking with vendors and installers, and possibly roofers, shortlisting candidates for negotiations, deciding on the best you consider trustworthy and signing the contract is all stressful, even with knowing the big reward ahead. Frankly, everyone would go through these no matter what awesome references you got from neighbors, HOA board, or friends. However, out of all five solar companies I started with, working with Smart Solar Energy was very quickly surfacing to the top, for a number of reasons, the warranty, the know-how explaining process, the price and personnel. Jordan was genuinely interested in helping you and I don't think he is disguising that for pitching a quick sale. From the beginning to the end, I certainly would not know everything about solar panel brands (foreign or domestic), inverter capabilities, and other specifications thrown at me, yet the common sense seems to go well with what Smart Solar Energy introduced all the way. Now the system is up and running, I cannot say any bad things about the experience. In fact, I think it was a very pleasant one.

Smart Solar Energy has been an amazing installer for our 5.7KW solar system on our house in Portland Oregon. We're very satisfied with their service and happily recommend them to anyone looking for solar installed on their home. We were given very clear quotes for cost and timeline for installation which they held precisely to. Their workers were professional and very quick.
