Quality Solar Products

Solar Smith stocks some of the longest-lasting and energy-efficient solar products on the market. These include solar panels and backup batteries from LG, and solar inverters from Enphase — industry leaders in each of their respective technologies.

The company also installs roofing materials from Owens Corning, and mounting/racking systems from Unirac. In other words, every aspect of the solar panel systems from the physical products to the monitoring software is supplied by manufacturers at the top of their game. This, paired with Solar Smith’s unique expertise, will ensure the solar energy system will perform as expected.

Competitive Warranties

Backing Solar Smith’s solar power systems is an array of competitive warranties designed to protect homeowners from unforeseen issues affecting system performance:

• 25-year labor guarantee — protects homeowners from paying for damage caused during the installation process along with necessary maintenance
• 25-year production guarantee — guarantees the solar PV system will perform at projected levels through its entire expected lifetime
• 25-year equipment warranty — guarantees that if products are defective or underperforming, the manufacturing company will make things right
• 25-year leak-proof warranty — applies to roofs on which the company is building a new solar system. 

Roofing Experts

In addition to installing quality solar energy systems, Solar Smith also provides expert roof assessments and, if needed, complete roof replacements. The company is well-versed in all types of roofing materials and components, and will conduct a full re-roof prior to installing a solar system if your roof is older than 15 years.

As mentioned above, Solar Smith guarantees all roof work for 25 years, meaning if you experience a roof leak at any point following the installation of a new roof or solar panel systems, the company will repair that leak or leaks free of charge.

• No NABCEP Certification

Purchase or Loan Systems

Solar Smith’s solar energy systems appear to only be available for direct purchase or via a solar loan. That said, if you are currently leasing a solar panel system and are preparing to move to a different home, Solar Smith’s expert team can help you transfer the solar lease to the new homeowners. 

Only Available in Virginia

Solar Smith provides residential solar installation in the following Virginia cities:

• Warrenton
• Bristow
• Gainesville
• Haymarket
• Leesburg
• Ashburn

While this narrow service area can be a real plus for homeowners interested in working with a local company, it can also limit Solar Smith’s ability to stand apart from larger, nationally recognized solar brands. Promoting verified Solar Smith reviews can be an effective way for the company to highlight its services and emphasize its unique offering and expertise to a statewide audience.

No NABCEP Certification

Although Solar Smith brings years of experience to the solar installation business, the company does not appear to be NABCEP certified. The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners is an industry-recognized organization responsible for a litany of “gold standard” solar certification programs.

The lack of a certification from the NABCEP does not suggest Solar Smith offers poor installation quality; however, the presence of such a certification can help homeowners searching for solar installers that have proven industry expertise.
