The Bad

  • Limited National Reach

Limited National Reach

Solar SME currently provides residential and commercial solar services to nine states: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. While this is demonstrably more than the majority of solar contractors, whose service areas are limited to one or two states, some industry-leading companies span as many as 25 states without sacrificing quality of service.

Danny Russell presented a terrific opportunity for me to understand the correct purchase of a Solar Panel Installation on the roof of my townhouse. He was also able to show me the wisdom of adding a Tesla battery to the packet. The cost was just within my budget, but the long term savings and convenience was well presented. I found his knowledge of the components and their value to cost was exemplary. Thank you Danny for your support and making this installation an easy one Brendan Redhead

This is our first solar installation process. While it took some trial and error to get all of our paneks online, it was Faris and team's reliabilty that accounts for my five star review. Definitely ask for in-house technicians. It makes the difference!

Part of my system went down due to a gateway failure, so I reached out to Farris to inform him of the issue. After a few days, he was able to get a tech out to me & had the tech install my spare Gateway board for me. After about 3hrs, I was back up & running @ 100%. Thanks
