We stand by our work and want you to feel smart when you purchase solar from us. All of the work performed on your solar system is 100% guaranteed.

We back up our work with the best guarantees in the Pacific Northwest:

We offer a 25 year warranty on all labor and services performed. Any required repairs will be performed at our expense. This is in addition to all of your solar system’s factory warranties.

- 25 Year Power Production Guarantee

Every solar system’s power production decreases over time, but our German engineered panels only decrease by 8% over a 25-year span. If system production falls below that threshold, we’ll compensate you with cash.

Your entire solar system comes with an industry-leading 25-year factory warranty. This covers every aspect of your solar panel installation.

- 24/7 Real Time Monitoring

Our monitoring staff reviews performance data on every system we’ve installed on a monthly basis. Our team will monitor your system’s performance to ensure the system is producing as designed. Every client receives their own personal monitoring portal, so our clients can track their system’s performance data as well.

- 15 Year Project Management Support

Smart Solar Energy is with you every step of the way. Your solar system comes with 15 years of project management support. We’ll take care of the incentive programs and payments, supply all the information necessary for your tax documents, and communicate with your tax professional.

Great solar system and wonderful people at Smart Solar Energy

My wife and I recently had a solar system installed onto our 6 year old home in Happy Valley, OR by Smart Solar Energy. Wow, they took care of submitting all permits and the system was installed quickly. It was just turned on and is working perfectly. But more than the quality that I see in this system is the quality and professionalism that I have experienced with their staff. From the initial contact with Jenn, Jordan and Taylor to the electricians and panel installers that did their work, everyone was truly a joy with which to work and meet. I highly recommend this company and appreciate being able to take advantage of the Federal tax credit as well as the Energy Trust of Oregon's Solar Initiative rebate.

Great Company

We are glad we chose Smart Solar Energy for our conversion to solar. They answered all our questions, and communicated well throughout the process. Our electrical inspector commented on the high quality of our system. So far everything is working well, but if we run into issues, we are confident that Smart Solar will be there to help us resolve them.

Smart Solar Makes it Easy

Smart Solar was a great company to work with from start to finish. Solar is something we have wanted for over a decade so when it was possible, we were excited to get started. We got multiple quotes, including doing DIY installation. Smart Solar came in the clear winner in terms of cost and stress reduction. They were not pushy and easy to work with on my timeframe. They were gracious when a week before install we found a problem with our roof that needed repair which delayed the installation team. Our installation was difficult as our roof is very high and hard to access, but at all points the inspection teams following were full of praise even asking who did the work as it was such a nice job. Now everything is up and running and we are looking forward to seeing our energy savings start with the new year. You will not regret working with Smart Solar.

Great Local Company

After moving into a new house in Hillsboro, we were visited by 2 national solar company reps who gave us their pitch. Since we were thinking about switching over to solar, we were very excited to listen to them and proceed with the process. However, we found out that we were misled, lied to, and left with a very negative view of the whole solar industry (e.g. I almost had to trespass one of the reps because he would not leave my house when I told him that I needed to speak with my wife about proceeding with the company). We decided to look into a local company and came upon Smart Solar Energy. We are so glad we did. From the first call with Taylor to the final installation, they were completely transparent, honest, and maintained a clear line of communication with us. Even though there was a delay in the final approval by PGE, Smart Solar Energy advocated for us to the final step. We are very happy with our decision to go with Smart Solar Energy for our solar transition.

Great from start to finish

From start to finish my experience with Smart Solar Energy was great. I was a bit skeptical about putting on Solar panels in Oregon but the team at Smart Solar were great to work with. I was not shy about asking hard questions and exploring the math behind the return on investment which was the biggest motivation. I really appreciated the post sales follow-up and their dedicated project manager ensuring things were on track and went smoothly. I will certainly be willing to refer them in the future.
