Smart Solar Energy

Smart Solar Energy offered a competitive price and I enjoyed working with them at every step of the process. The project management team was informative and quick to respond to all of my questions, and the installation team was professional and executed well. I would recommend Smart Solar Energy to anyone interested in installing a residential solar energy generation system.

Working with Smart Solar Energy has been a great experience. Jordan worked with my husband and me on the quoting. We selected to have Smart Solar Energy install our roof solar system due to their 1. Responsiveness 2. Professionalism, and 3. Knowledge. These three attributes are not common for the entire solar industry and really made Smart Solar Energy stand out from their competitors. Jenn from Smart Solar Energy managed all of the communications with the utility company, installers, and our city. Thank you Jordan and Jenn. Thank you Smart Solar Energy.

After months of debate, we decided to go solar. Checking with several companies, we chose Smart Solar Energy and couldn’t be happier about our decision. They were very professional from the beginning, being sure that we understood how the systems worked and what we should expect. At every stage the people involved were punctual and efficient. The installation was done quickly and the site was left spotless. Jenn, our project manager, has followed up on all inspections and made sure we understood how to use the monitoring software, etc. and has been a delight to work with. Such a major project could not have gone smoother. And you get a really nice t-shirt.

Our experience with Smart Solar Energy has been overwhelmingly positive and I recommend them without hesitation. I submitted an online query from an aggregator site and received communication from Smart Solar and some other solar contractors and met with Jordan from Smart Solar and a sales rep from one other company. I got two bids. Smart Solar and their competitor provided plans for the SAME sized system, offered the exact SAME warranties, and sourced the components from well-known suppliers. (Heck, Smart Solar even sourced solar panels from a Washington-based manufacturer while the other company’s panels were manufactured in China.) Smart Solar’s bid was 45% less than the competitor! All things being equal, Smart Solar was a no-brainer from the start! But it isn’t just the cost. Project Engineer Jake was available at my convenience and did a quick but thorough inspection before he drew the plans and our project manager Jenn has been an absolute jewel. Jenn was in frequent communication and available to offer answers or guidance at every step of the way; when our local permitting process got bogged down, she was able to get it taken care of; she communicated with us about when to expect delivery of the panels and the arrival of the installation crew; she coordinated the inspections from our local authority, Energy Trust of Oregon and Pacific Power, and walked me through the steps to turn on the system and use the monitoring app. I would – and will – highly recommend Smart Solar to friends and family.

From the start of discussions to installation, to the “how to monitor your system call” Smart Solar is great to work with. Smart Solar kept us in the loop at each step, answered our questions, was professional and friendly and has great follow through. Smart Solar made the entire process easy for us, their customer.

Smart Solar made our process easy. I researched seven companies and requested bids from five. Three of the companies did an equal job helping me understand panels, microinverters, system configuration, etc. Next, I researched reviews for after care - monitoring, service, maintenance. Smart Solar was not the least expensive bid (the one that was had TERRIBLE reviews on after care/service) but they had great reviews on after care. Jason from Smart Solar was the only rep who went through in detail where utility boxes would be placed on my house and where we could run conduits. I really didn’t want crazy contraptions coming over the front of my house to our utility meter. They helped me understand all of my options and I ended up with an install that is invisible from the street. The installation happened in the timeframe they originally set out, the crews (install and electricians) were professional and helpful, explaining what they were doing as they went. Jenn Showers shepherded me through inspections, go live of the system and with my utility for net metering, and my first microinverter glitch (service ticket logged right away with Enphase before I even saw it). She’s been a true partner and I couldn’t be happier. We’re generating energy even on a cloudy winter Seattle day!

I loved working with the crew at Smart Solar. They explained how the plan works in terms anyone can understand. Jenn kept us informed from the start and answered all of my phone calls and texts promptly. I recommend them to anybody. Thank you Smart Solar Energy.

The entire solar process was so quick, easy and convinient with Smart Solar Energy. They were friendly from the get go, even if I forgot and missed our initial call! I will Definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in installing solar.

Smart solar was awesome! They were super responsive to all my emails and questions. They guided me throughout the process and made sure I understood everything. They kept me up to date with our next steps. Also they made sure to consistently stick to their time frame and update me when changes needed to be made. Definitely worth the money.

Our experience with Smart Solar Energy has been positive from start to finish. From initial planning to beginning PV production, they were helpful and pleasant every step of the way. The installation crew and electricians were friendly and positive. When Pacific Power went to the wrong address for final inspection, Jenn got them squared away. She also walked us through every step of finally getting online including the app which allows us to monitor many production details. We full-heartedly endorse Smart Solar Energy for solar panel installation and support.
