Great experience
We had an excellent experience working with Smart Solar Energy. The explanation of the process, system design, and components used were all top notch. They handled all permitting with the city and kept us updated on where we were at every stage of the process. Communication was excellent throughout. We're really glad we went with Smart Solar!

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.

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.

Solar Made Stress Free
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.

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 Overall Experience and Service
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.

Worth It!
We had previously researched solar panels and didn’t think it was viable. But after taking down a large tree, we researched again and found Smart Solar Energy. Our new panels will cover 100% of our energy needs and this company helps with all the energy rebates. Worth it! Jordan was honest, clear, and organized with what his company could offer. The installers were professional and efficient. Activation was slower than hoped for, but that was a city/utilities delay. Smart Solar kept us in the loop with updates and communication. My favorite part of this company is their warranties and continued 24/7 monitoring support. I love that we have a local company to pair with on our new solar journey. Highly recommended.

I was impressed with Smart Solar from start to finish. I always felt like I understood the process and the timing and cost of the project. Everyone I worked with was very professional and competent. The schedule expectations I had were met, which was not the case for friends in Portland who got solar panels with a different company. I always felt like my time was respected. The panels are now on the roof and generated power, and it's really exciting! A bonus - we have a tile roof and they (1) were willing to work with us and (2) did the work without leaving any broken tiles (one was cracked during the process but the worker on site was a former roofer and repaired it).

Great Experience
Smart Solar was easy to work with and had a reasonable price. They took the time to discuss my many questions. I would work with them again.
