Professional

Doing business with Smart Solar Energy was smooth and efficient. We had help every step of the way, and the installers even worked despite a very cold and windy rainstorm. Support before and after was very helpful and easy to contact. There was a wait for permits, but when they came through the installation was quick. A very efficient company.

Great Company for Solar

I contacted Smart Solar after searching for a Company in my area. Approved in Oregon by the Trust Uses quality equipment made in America Has a 25 year warranty on the complete installation They explain everything and used top notch software to get the solar numbers that worked for me. Sent a guy to my house to make assessments and install data. Handled all the permits and inspections. Walked me through everything and listened to my ideas and thoughts of the system. Did a profession job with Electricians and solar installers. Contacted the Power Company for my job. Answered all my questions in a timely manner via email. Very Professional company. I would give them a 10 if I could. Price is good with tax breaks

Thank you Smart Solar Energy!

We recently completed the addition of solar panels to our home. We elected to go with Smart Solar Energy, and we couldn't be happier. From the very first call, to the end of the installation process, the professionals at Smart Solar were reliable, communicative, and responsive. Our project manager, Jenn Showers, was available through every step of the way. Jenn took care of everything from permitting, to incentive submissions....everything! Do yourself a favor and if you're even considering upgrading your home or business with Solar, reach out to the folks at Smart Solar. Tell them Tina sent you! Their number is 503-694-4600.

Excellent company to work with.

Smart Solar was so amazing all the way through the process start to finish, including all permitting with the city and state. I had concerns about this process from reading about other solar companies, but these guys came through. From sales, to cost, to explaining the process everything went well, and it looks great. I spent many days researching different Solar companies in my area and narrowed it down to three which all provided the same Solar Panels and Inverters. The reviews for Smart Solar is what set them apart from the other two. Also, the price and service warranty is better with Smart Solar. Jordan, Taylor, Jen and all of the technicians were very professional and answered all of our questions. I have recommended them to our family and neighbors.

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.

The Wades | Portland, Oregon | 01/07/2025

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.

Joey Y | Hillsboro, Oregon | 01/04/2025

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.
