The Good

  • Top-Level Solar Products
  • Zero Down Financing
  • Professional Roofing Contractor

Top-Level Solar Products

TriSMART Solar uses some of the best solar panels, inverters, and backup battery systems to build its solar energy systems. Manufacturing partners include the following:

  • REC Solar — REC Solar’s panels are widely considered to be on par with industry leaders like SunPower and LG in terms of energy efficiency, durability, and price. REC Solar panels come with a 25-year warranty.
  • Enphase — TriSMART Solar is an Enphase Premium Installer, meaning the company is well versed in all of Enphase’s products, including microinverters, and demonstrates outstanding customer service.
  • Unirac — TriSMART is also a Platinum Certified Unirac installer, and maintains strict roof mounting installation standards that are unmatched in the solar industry.
  • Generac — TriSMART Solar also installs backup battery and generator solutions from Generac, one of the leaders in solar energy storage solutions.

Zero Down Financing

TriSMART Solar provides customers with zero-down financing, which allows them to take full advantage of state rebates and the Federal Tax Credit, while also saving hundreds of dollars on their utility bill during the first year.

Professional Roofing Contractor

TriSMART Solar is also a professional roofing contractor. All roofing projects, be it repair or replacement, come with a five-year labor warranty, and TriSMART Solar is well-versed in handling insurance claims relating to roof damage.

If your roof has been damaged by wind or hail, TriSMART Solar may be able to help you facilitate a new roof replacement that is paid 100 percent by your insurance provider.

The Bad

  • Mostly Available in Texas
  • Not NABCEP Certified
  • Solar Workmanship Warranty

Mostly Available in Texas

In addition to Phoenix, Arizona and Salt Lake City, Utah, TriSMART Solar is only available in the following Texas cities:

  • Austin
  • Amarillo
  • Dallas
  • El Paso
  • Dallas–Fort Worth
  • Houston
  • Lubbock
  • San Antonio
  • Midland

Consumers located elsewhere in the United States will need to find a different solar company. 

Not NABCEP Certified

Though the solar provider has achieved numerous manufacturer-specific certifications, it does not appear to hold an industry certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).

The NABCEP is responsible for upholding high installation standards at the industry level, and produces some of the most rigorous solar technician training programs in the country. Companies with this certification identify themselves as true experts in solar.

Solar Workmanship Warranty

Despite 25-year equipment and production guarantees that come standard with every TriSMART Solar system, the company has yet to disclose what workmanship warranty is available for a solar panel system. The workmanship warranty covers damage caused by installer error, and leading companies provide this coverage for up to 25 years.

The Bottom Line

TriSMART Solar installs robust solar panel systems that are built to last and provides flexible financing options to help homeowners begin saving money from day one. If you live in Texas, Phoenix, or Salt Lake City, TriSMART Solar could be the right choice.

In order to know for sure, we encourage homeowners to read the latest TriSMART Solar reviews to see if the company lives up to its impressive resume, and to compare what they find with reviews for different local solar companies. And, as always, ask companies lots of questions as you comparison shop and read all fine print before signing a contract.

todd Reeves Round Rock, TX

It is hard to say, I am not unhappy and I am not necessarily impressed. They did a great job of installation and it works, as far as I can tell well. But I need time to determine if it was worth the investment or not. I installed in last spring, so performance in the summer in texas is not going to great. I need a whole year to judge. I would like to see them offer an evaluation of performance report every 3 months. Which is almost how long I have had my system. then maybe a clearer conclusion. Right now, with the payments spread out over 25 years even at 2% at my age of 59, does not really look like the smartest decision on my part. Of course, I am not a greeney. All I want to do is not be affected by stupid goverment regulations and policies, which this system may do over time. I do not like that I can't easily disconnect from the grid and reconnect when I so desire. This makes installing batteries illogical.

Everybody that is associated with TriSmart Solar has been extremely professional and it's been very helpful in the process of getting the solar panels. It really made it a lot less painful for me to have really good employees for Tri Smart I could talk to whenever I had questions. Install was quick. They found a problem that originated with the builders and was still under warranty that I got fixed.

We've had it probably for over a year now and it's, it's still good quality. They came out, installed the panels on the roof, and then came back out and installed the power wall. All the technicians they had were very courteous and very friendly and they did a good job. It was real clean. Whenever I have called and left a message about a situation, they would call me back within a day or so.

The installation process was bumpy. The guy said what time he would show up and then he actually showed up thirty minutes later. They had to come back and finish the job, it was about a three week process. Actual work time was probably about 5 hours. I have no issues with the product, it has worked great. I would definitely recommend them to anybody.

They've been quick to answer any questions that I have and any needs I have. They took care of me. Installation went pretty smooth, they were very good with communication on appointments. Whenever a service tech was coming out I had a proper notice of when they would arrive. They were on time and they kept a clean work site. They were just really good to work with. I have had no issues with the equipment. I recommended them to my stepdaughter.

The rates were pretty good at first. You can never get a hold of customer service. Installation was not very good, it took them several times to get the panels up and then when they did get a mop they left the mess and they had to come back out and clean it up after I complained about it. I'm not getting a lot of savings from the product. I'm not very happy with the service at all actually. I did recommended it to a couple of friends and the guy never got back to him.

I get good information from them. They do answer your questions and you can get in contact with them when you need to get answers. The installation process was done really quickly, they installed them and they cleaned up after themselves and it didn't take a long period of time so I was satisfied with that. They told me a battery would be included with the equipment but I didn't get that. They are a pretty good company.

Installation was very fast. I have two microcomputers that are not responding and I've had it for quite a while now. The installers did not do a very good job of cleaning up after themselves. It's been almost a year and a half now and I still have electrical trash as you go down around in the yard from wires and stuff like that. I have recommended them twice.

The people that came to visit agave me a detailed explanation about trismart. They have gotten back with me pretty quickly about issues concerning my complaints. It took a week to have a third party company come out and they did make a few mistakes on my home and on my property but I was able to call and trismart took care of it. So far it's been pretty good. I just haven't seen the wattage that would like to see, but overall a positive experience, just not exactly what I was expecting, but it's still good.

they came to me and they explained everything to me about TriSMART so I like maybe the pricing and the warranties. when I had a damaged during that time I called TriSMART for removing the panel and getting back installed once the roof got installed so it was like they they made it on time and they are professional to get back all the things on track.

I went through my security company to ticket TriSMART Solar and they made the price was really good and I like the look of the panels as well. The panels going up really quick and easy and the whole time process was really easy like I don't have to do anything so it was it was pretty smooth. Everything looks really good but I'm still paying an electrical bill. The integrated app is really nice to be able to like see how my panels are doing.

Always there to answer questions and try to make sure that the job gets done right the first time. They're always very willing to go the extra mile to help out where they can. I think equipment's style is really good. I've had some repeat issues with one specific section of the equipment, but nothing super major. They came to install early in the morning. It was a pretty big systems (was going to take two days) and I didn't even notice them really. It was very painless, and very quick.

Very reliable; everything works great and I'm having no issues. Great attitudes and very helpful. Our rep dropped off the panels a few days before subcontractors got here. And then after that within 24 hours they went up there and installed the panels and and had everything working pretty quick actually. They damaged my roof and that still hasn't been repaired yet.

I had one little hiccup and through the whole process. It was actually amazingly quick. I was really surprised the crew that came in, they came all the way from San Antonio and they installed on my home in three hours. I haven't had any problems with any of it. I've not had any panels not functioning where they placed it, I get good sun unless of course you have an overcast day. We're producing every month more than what we're using. The hiccup I mentioned was with the electric company.

Our rep was always in contact, always gave updates. It had a couple of bumps, but it wasn't bad. TriSMART handled everything for my HOA, which was really nice and everything with the city, which was also very nice and handy. Our rep handled any kind of issues that came up. And we didn't even have to be there for any of it. That's really nice.
