Smart Solar Energy Portland Oregon

I will give them 5/5 stars due to their knowledge, competitive price and professionalism in solar space. The team is great to work with and very realistic on estimation and feedback. We had a great experience quote through install and thanks to Jordan/Jenn for all the support on this journey. We would highly recommend Smart Solar Energy System size- 8.61kW Microinverter - APS Panels: REC Cheers! PB

We had a great experience with SmartSolar and I have since recommended them to a few of my coworkers who are looking for solar panels. Our roof doesn't have too much usable area for the panels but they were willing to do a smaller system for us from what they typically do. Troy and Jenn have been fantastic to work with - extremely prompt in their responses to the avalanche of questions we had and very communicative throughout the entire process. Troy was excellent during the initial presentation of the solar design as well as the financial aspect of it while Jenn took the reins once the project got under way. They did a great job getting all the necessary paperwork/permits/install coordinated. We are super happy with our new panels and with the entire experience.

Smart Solar Energy did a bang up job designing and installing our system and electric vehicle charger here in Portland. They met all of our needs and thoroughly communicated installation expectations. Despite the challenges we were faced with (solar on roof of our home and garage, relocating electrical service to garage, burying power line so it didn’t go over the backyard anymore) they went above and beyond for us. Looks great on the house, no more ugly power line over the backyard, and our electricity bills are $0. Thanks, Smart Solar Energy!

Smart Solar Energy did a fabulous job of putting solar panels on our small house in Portland. When other solar companies couldn’t be bothered with a “small job” like ours and wouldn’t even give a bid, Jordan from Smart Solar studied our home roof and gave us a thorough explanation of what a small solar system could do for our energy bills as well as the resale value of our house, He was explicit about both the cost of the project (including available rebates) and the projected slow timing to completion due to expected permitting delays. He was also very honest about what made the most sense for this project rather than what might make the most profit for the company – and only the most trustworthy will put the customer first like that. Once we had an agreement, the project was turned over to Jenn to manage – she kept in touch with us every step of the way so we were always clear on what needed to happen next. Everything was efficiently taken care of from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We have no hesitation in recommending Smart Solar for residential solar projects!

I recommend Smart Solar Energy to any home owner or Business trying to go solar. Initially, worked with Jordan in deciding the costs, equipment and timelines to install Solar. Jenn was assigned as a PM to our project. Overall experience working with Jordan and Jenn is Awesome. The work was completed as planned and discussed during the contract. The Crew was very professional, pro-active and cleaned the works space afterwards.

Highly recommend. Great company. They were super helpful throughout the process. Clear instructions and good visibility of all the steps in advance. Everything is taken care off, even the Oregon incentives. Also super quick timeline.

I found information about Smart Solar from the website of energysage. I put my information there and after a bidding process, I selected Smart Solar for my project. They offered me a competitive quote for my project and also, they went through multiple meeting sessions to explain the process and address any queries I had. I have found them to be punctual about the schedule be it meeting or installment setup. On the day of installment, I have found them to come on time and complete the installation with very minimal issues. The system went through inspection and turned on by PGE officials and all of these was coordinated by Jenn (my project manager). In brief, it was easy to work with Smart Solar.

We chose Smart Solar because they had by far the most experience of any local installer. And, it’s obvious why that is. Smart Solar was AMAZING to work with. First, their bid was the lowest of the 5 we received. They explained things clearly from our 1st contact, never over-promised, and did everything they said they would on time and on-budget. They installed the panels despite nasty winter weather, which allowed us to have the job completed in time for receiving the federal rebate on our 2023 income tax filing. The installation was neat and quick. I’m not great at tech so I was especially pleased that, when the job was finished, they hand-held me through the process of getting the monitoring app working. I tell my home-owning friends that solar is a no-brainer, and using Smart Solar is too! We could not be more pleased with their service.

Smart Solar was our best price per kWh out of six bids. They were quick and responsive to questions while I was reviewing options. They did not try to upsale, if anything they did the opposite and recommended providing what I needed and not more. I was most impressed by their follow-through after we signed a contract. They were clear on the next steps and the permitting took a little less time than anticipated. I appreciated the project management support provided to answer questions during the process and the set-up.

Smart Solar Energy has been an amazing installer for our 5.7KW solar system on our house in Portland Oregon. We're very satisfied with their service and happily recommend them to anyone looking for solar installed on their home. We were given very clear quotes for cost and timeline for installation which they held precisely to. Their workers were professional and very quick.
