AMP Smart began primarily as a home security company, but it now provides solar installation and services. AMP Smart was founded in 2007 under the name AMP Security but later changed its name to better encompass all of the services offered by the company. The company supplies security and solar services in 16 states.
AMP Smart offers comprehensive solar power solutions with a focus on simplicity and customization while providing various financing options to make solar installation accessible to a wide range of homeowners.
The Good
- Battery Systems
- Multiple Financing Options
- Hassle-Free Installations
- 24/7 Access to Solar Professionals
Battery Systems
With its solar systems AMP Smart can also install solar batteries for backup energy storage. Battery systems are yet another way to save money on utility bills. Any excess energy supplied in the daytime gets stored in the battery for nighttime use or power loss.
Multiple Financing Options
The site indicates that the company has financing options that require $0 down. AMP Smart offers several financing options, including solar loans, leases, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
This variety allows homeowners to choose the option that best aligns with their financial situation and goals. The availability of solar loans with competitive rates can make solar more affordable from day one.
In regard to signing a contract, whether for a loan, lease, or PPA, that does involve a long-term commitment. Homeowners should carefully review these agreements to ensure they align with their financial and lifestyle goals.
Hassle-Free Installations
AMP Smart prides itself on hassle-free installations. Their experience and expertise in the field make the process smooth and efficient, reducing any disruptions to the homeowner's daily life.
24/7 Access to Solar Professionals
The AMP Smart website lists a phone number and states that its customers have 24/7 access to solar professionals. Whether a customer needs information about a system’s energy production and usage, is seeking details about tax incentives in a specific state, or wants an estimate for a solar and battery system, AMP Smart is available to answer these questions around the clock.
The Bad
- Not NABCEP-Certified
- Panel Types Undisclosed
Not NABCEP-Certified
Quality solar companies in the industry often have at least one employee who is NABCEP-certified. A quick search of the NABCEP certification database suggests that AMP Smart does not have any employees with this certification at this time.
Panel Types Undisclosed
Available information about AMP Smart’s solar products is somewhat limited. The company’s website does not disclose where its solar products are sourced. Typically, a solar company will specify the manufacturers of the solar panels — some of the most well-known are LG, Panasonic, SunPower, etc. However, AMP Smart does not name its solar panel or inverter manufacturer(s).
The Bottom Line
AMP Smart strengths lie in its solar energy storage, financing options, and 24/7 customer service.
As of now, there is limited information available regarding customer reviews and satisfaction with AMP Smart. Potential customers may want more feedback from existing customers to assess the company's performance and reliability.
