The Good

  • Installation Experience
  • Free Solar Savings Estimate
  • Roofing Repair Services Available
  • Mono-Crystalline Panels

Installation Experience

The team at Smart Solar is incredibly experienced. The installers on the team have over 20 years of combined solar and roofing experience. On top of that, Smart Solar employees have installed over 10,000 solar systems combined throughout the southeastern part of the United States. Not every solar company has installers with this much experience in the industry, setting Smart Solar apart from other providers. 

Free Solar Savings Estimate

Most solar companies will visit a property and conduct an analysis, providing a prospective customer with a quote for solar services. Smart Solar goes above and beyond providing a comprehensive breakdown of the actual savings customers will enjoy if they decide to utilize solar energy. This data will help customers make an informed decision about their home’s future energy system. 

Roofing Repair Services Available

Solar systems are designed to last at least 25 years. Unfortunately, roofs do not last that long. Smart Solar also provides roof replacement services within the state of Florida. Customers do not need to be installing a solar system in order to use the Smart Solar roofing services.

Additionally, the Smart Solar team is equipped to handle air conditioning and water heater installation in available service areas. Most solar companies are solely focused on solar sales and installation. If the roof needs to be repaired or replaced prior to solar installation, most solar companies will require customers to have that work done by a different company.

Smart Solar provides comprehensive services allowing it to take on all related work prior to solar installation. 

Mono-Crystalline Panels

Florida can experience extreme weather conditions. As a result, Smart Solar only installs Tier-1 high-efficiency mono-crystalline panels. These panels are designed to withstand adverse weather conditions and continue to perform at a high level. While it is not known what brand Smart Solar specifically installs, knowing that the company only utilizes top-of-the-line mono-crystalline panels goes a long way.

The Bad

  • Undisclosed Equipment Information
  • Limited Service Area
  • Warranties

Undisclosed Equipment Information

Most solar companies partner with a Tier-1 solar provider or manufacturer. This means that the company has access to install some of the latest and greatest solar equipment on the market. Smart Solar has not made equipment information public, meaning prospective customers do not know what brands of panels, inverters, or batteries will be installed. 

Limited Service Area

While members of the Smart Solar team have worked on installation projects in the southeast, Smart Solar as a company only services Florida. More specifically, Smart Solar services these areas: Central Florida, Orlando, Kissimmee, Disney World Area, Orange County, Osceola County, Polk County, Seminole County, Volusia County, and Brevard County. While many solar installation companies are locally focused, typically a solar company will at least cover the state in which it operates out of. That is not the case with Smart Solar. 

Warranties

A solar system is an expensive investment — both the equipment and the installation are pricey. To put the customers at ease, most solar companies offer warranties on both the equipment and the workmanship. The industry average is 25-year warranties on the equipment and 10-year workmanship warranties. Smart Solar does not appear to offer either.

The Bottom Line

Smart Solar specializes in roofing and solar services in the central Florida region. The team at Smart Solar is experienced and has worked on thousands of projects. Unfortunately, Smart Solar solely operates in the state of Florida and has not publicly made much information about the equipment it uses or the warranties backing the installations public knowledge, leaving more questions than answers about its services.
