Super happy with solar!

We had a great experience with our Smart Solar install. Jordan walked us through the initial consultation and was extremely competent in answering all of our questions. We got quotes from 2 other solar companies, and Smart Solar came in the lowest. They also provided a breakdown of the costs associated with each piece of hardware and labor, which I found incredibly transparent and beyond what I got from other companies. Throughout the process, Jenn was super responsive and helped reassure us that everything was going according to plan (even when we hit some snags with PGE). Highly recommend!

Solar Energy Done Right

I found Smart Solar Energy through my search in Energy Sage for solar installers in my area (Columbia River Gorge) after doing considerable research about solar. There is a lot of information which can be confusing , but I wanted to make informed decisions about size, materials, efficiency, financial incentives, etc for our home installation. I contacted Smart Solar and got a response within a day to set up an online visit time and what documents were needed to assess and design a system, like current electrical usage from the PUD. The online interview with Jordan Showers was very helpful and informative. I got clear, respectful answers to my questions and he spelled out the phases of the solar installation process, product & service warranty, cost & incentives available. It was my decision to proceed--no pressure from Jordan. Smart Solar took responsibility for the permitting processes and WA sales tax credit, set up the installation schedule and solar production & monitoring app, and kept me advised of the steps as installation progressed. This effective communication and keeping to the planned process and cost instilled a confidence in their work & services, which I greatly appreciate. All together, my Smart Solar experience went very smoothly--a testament to their professionalism, belief in the value of solar, and caring for customers in both Oregon & Washington.

My comfort level was very high throughout our solar panel installation and continues during the operational phase. I absolutely recommend Smart Solar Energy for residental solar panel installations.

Solar Installation

After researching solar installation companies I chose to work with Smart Solar. They had top notch panels and inverters, there was no bullshit as with other companies who were too glowing in their promises. Their installation went swiftly & very workmanlike. Panels were up before I knew it & were generating electricity. Even PGE moved swiftly. The cost was about half of the top bidder; that bidder claimed to be a "premium company" but there was no satisfactory explanation for being twice as expensive. Although much less expensive than some others, Smart Solar did not cut corners with panels, other equipment, or labor. Time will tell viz the panels, but they are all working and I am tracking energy production with their software. Smart Solar was easy to work with, followed through on their appointments, coordinated with my house painters (everything happens at once).
