I was referred to Smart Solar Energy by a friend and already had three other quotes when I first…read moretalked to them. 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

Everyone with Pro-Stat Solar / Electric has been terrific to work with. Communication has been…read moregreat from start to finish and the team including Brandon, Jeff, Aaron, Keeton, and Tracie went above and beyond to explain everything in detail. They also hooked up with premium Enphase microinverters and a battery backup system with an additional electrical panel very affordably. They had no issue working with our tricky townhome location in between other units. The electrical inspector from Clackamas County just signed off on our new system and said everything looked perfect. The last system he inspected was also done by Pro-Stat with the same result. We couldn't recommend them more highly and the owner Brandon even said you can call him directly to talk through the possibilities: 360-521-5742. Please tell him I sent you, since they also have a win-win referral program that gets a both a discount!

However, when the project was completed, the 19th panel was placed near the back of the house, which is shaded by tall fir trees. We could have gotten better results, albeit the difference is not particularly great. If they had installed the panels as we had indicated, I would give them 5 stars. 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.

I also had a lot of questions about the equipment they use. They were responsive to all my questions and issues. Once the paperwork was completed the installs were both completed in one day. The inspector, who was the head inspector for my area, said they did a great job. As soon as the power company switches out my meter, I'll be good to go.

I made the mistake of filling out an ad on FB and got bombarded by calls. Mason took the time to to listen to me explain how that was a mistaken but solar is what I wanted to learn about. (With Clark PUD's 14.5% INCREASE) Another company (I will keep nameless) said I was a good candidate with the east side solar coverage that my house has. Mason with Green Light Solar explaind how my house wouldn't make a good home for Solar. He really cared about me and his reputation not just a sale. I want everyone to know that our electricity prices are going up with more to come. So if your home has the right layout Mason and Green Light Solar will not treat you like a paycheck. Mason will take the time to explain all the rebates from the Feds and the state. While putting the best plan together for you.

I'm so excited to move forward and take advantage of the federal tax credit this year and to not rely on the grid. They are the best solar installers in the area.
