Their pricing came in better than the others, and they also threw in a whole-home surge protector at no extra cost. I ended up going with a 12-panel, 5.28 kW system and have been really happy with it so far. I financed through Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union, and my monthly payment is actually lower than what the solar is offsetting on my electric bill, which was a big reason I decided to move forward. I'm also a PGE customer, so I qualified for a $3,500 Energy Trust of Oregon incentive that came right off the price. They also have a pretty solid referral program. It's $500 if someone you refer ends up going solar with them. Overall, it was a straightforward experience, no weird pressure, and I felt like I got a really good deal. I'd definitely recommend Smart Solar Energy to anyone around Portland looking into solar. -Colin

We reached out to A&R Solar after Purelight Power went bankrupt and all their staff disappeared,…read morebreaching their contract with us to maintain warranted panels and equipment. Previously, Purelight had done a "repair" that actually broke one of our microinverters and left 4 panels offline, leading to significant power loss and a big increase in our electrical bill, so we were pretty desperate for help with undoing the damage Purelight had done. A&R took over management of our Hoymiles instance (that's the app they need access to in order to make sure everything is working right and check on panel metrics), replaced our broken microinverter, and when a part was super late they graciously comped us for it. Excellent work, prompt service, and professional and polite techs and workers across the board. We will absolutely be using them when we convert to a generator/battery model within the next few months. Very highly recommended!

A and R sent their sales person to our house and he got right to work. He went into our crawl space under the roof to make sure our roof was properly supported for the panels. That was a relief as the other place wanted to send a structural engineer to do that very simple job and charge us for it. Ridiculous. Our project was two years, so the crew may be slightly different, but they were great. When there was an issue, like that we didn't have electrical grounding, they just put in grounding bars. Amazing! They offer production guarantees which is rare for a solar company, like those ones that come door to door. lol A and R was professional, easy to work with and easy to communicate with. Good job team!

They were great to work with and took care of all the permit stuff. Now on sunny days we feel great watching our power meter running backward! Our system easily generates 3000 watts on sunny days, They even found an inverter that will give solar electricity during a power outage. We can log onto our inverter through our computer and watch the power generation data over time. Cant recommend these folks enough.

The first couple of companies we went with were way overpriced and they were promising the moon. Upon further research. I came across Energy Solutions and was in contact with the owner texting back and forth about questions I had. They came out and did a site measurement and gave me an upfront and clear breakdown of what it would cost for the total project. Nothing was hidden. There were NO surprises at the end and was also able to have them install an interlock kit in case the power went out, and I needed to use my generator for the house. After two years of service, I've had no issues with the equipment, I also an email from their team checking in to make sure everything was good and if I had any questions, I could reach out to them at any time. I also recommended them to my neighbors as I had such a great experience. One of my neighbors went with a different company and he has had total regrets on why he chose that company for his solar. If you are looking for a great, transparent solar company, you will not regret your decision.

As it is, during the summer months, we are producing enough electricity to send it back into the grid for a small credit on our PGE bill.

He thoughtfully and thoroughly explained the different options that I currently have left since my prime solar producing roof real estate is already full. He went far beyond what was needed, and even explained the finer details of buying a virtual net meter community solar system that resides elsewhere in the state being more beneficial to me than adding panels to my home that might cost more than the power I get from Portland General. I really appreciate the integrity and professionalism of someone who explains something at length and detail even if it won't necessarily translate to a sale. I will not hesitate to tell friends and neighbors to try out Synchro Solar for bidding processes.
