Two years ago, I explored solar with a rep from a big company who was stationed at Home Depot. I ended up confused and decided not to move forward. Fast forward two years: I found Andrew and Wise Solar totally by accident, through a referral from someone with a lot of knowledge about the industry. Andrew came out and flew a drone over my house, showing me exactly where the panels would go for best results, recommending what kind of panels would be best, and working up clear pricing and terms without a lot of confusion. He never tried to oversell me on equipment beyond what was necessary. Andrew handled the city permitting and inspecting process with patience and diligence, and the installation went without a hitch. My system is up and running, and generating even more power than expected, which is good for me, good for the planet, and just all around -- good! I highly recommend consulting with Andrew at Wise Solar if you're shopping around for solar. read more

Wise Solar - Catching some rays on my roof in Glendale! - Solar Installation Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Going on three years now and we have not had a single issue. Our installation was complex - 23 panels spread across garage and two-story house both with a clay tile roof. Andrew and his team worked with the inspectors, did a very clean installation, fixed all tiles, ensured SCE and city signed off on everything (including having to add a subpanel per the inspector). Very impressed with the team and the quality - no issues, showed up when they said and delivered a great system. Even his documentation including drone images of the final product exceeded expectations. Highly recommended read more

My panels haven't worked for over 2 months. Contacted Andrew and was told he would get someone here ASAP. That was over a week ago and nobody has come here to take a look. This is an issue because my SCE bill is more than 3x it should be along with paying for the expensive solar panels. I believe a bigger company would have rectified this by now. read more

The install and connection was professionally done and very quick! I honestly think these guys are good at installing solar for you! They helped me out every step of the way. However, beware....if you have SCE as your utility company, they recently switch over their system (in April) and now all Solar customers are backed up. Meaning, you will continue to pay for electricity until you are processed. I have not been processed yet and its been 3 months. May take another 3 months. So, it may benefit you to get solar now to get the 30% tax credit or wait until SCE gets their act together. Other than that, this is a great company to do your solar. read more

I highly recommend these guys. They installed a 20 panel system on my roof with REC panels and enphase inverters. The system is working great! They took on a complex project that some other companies avoided. To upgrade my panel for the project, I had to dig a ditch through my front yard to run a new conduit and wire. This involved lots of different permits and waiting on a very slow LADWP team to eventually come and hook up the wire. They took it all in stride and even though my project stretched on for months waiting for LADWP, they were responsive and tried all they could to speed things along. They went above and beyond to find subcontractors to do the electrical work and the trench digging for me. They did it all at a VERY competitive price and I am very satisfied with the final product. They even threw in some extras to make up for all the time delays (which were LADWP's fault, not theirs). Can't recommend Andrew, Mike, Christina and their team enough. read more

I shopped the market for years while trying to make a decision on how to add solar to my house. After getting the run around from a few of the more popular companies, I was seriously confused and was about to forget the whole thing. I was introduced to Wise Solar as the "solar guru", and that was an accurate statement. The sales team led me through the process by providing me with a calendar and what to expect at each stage. It was ridiculously easy... I wish I had landed on Wise Solar to start with, it would have saved me a lot time and hassel. The coolest part was when the site auditor flew a drone around the property and showed me a 3D image of my house! I could visually understand where the sun hits the house best at what times, where they suggest to put panels, how that will look from different standpoints outside, and a clear ROI analysis based on their recommendation. Overall, the experience was great. It seemed to be that the company is very focused on clean energy and that humble approach was really felt by their customer service. They were so very patient with all of my questions and information gathering. I recommend Wise Solar to anyone even considering getting solar. read more

I am beyond happy with choosing Wise Solar! I have been so scared about getting solar installed becauae I heard such horror stories, but after doing my research I decided to go with these guys. Mike was so helpful and answered all my questions with confidence and always kept me in the loop...I loved that!!! Also The install team was quick and they were so polite.I am so happy getting home everyday and seeing those panels on my roof saving me money is the best!! I will (and do) recommend to anyone. read more

I have been impressed with the professionalism and service of Wise Solar. They spent as much time with me as necessary to ensure that I had complete understanding of the system, that I felt comfortable with the number of panels installed, and that I understood the entire process. In addition, the entire process was seamless and painless with no delays. I have a neighbor who had panels installed and heard nightmare stories about difficulties with the HOA, the inspection process, and the hook up. My installation was without a hitch. The workers were very respectful of my time and coordinated their work with a roofer. Any questions I have had since installation have been answered in a timely manner by Andrew. I am happy with this company and whole heartedly recommend them! read more

I researched several companies when we decided that solar would not only help with our electric bills but also increase the value of our house, we purchased our system, did not lease. We met with Mike Santoyo, who was very helpful. When we signed on with them they gave us a realistic time frame for installation, which was done in one day with no problems at all. We have had the system for several months with no problems. I would highly recommend Wise Solar... Thank You read more

We had solar panels installed by Wise Solar approximately six months ago and could not have been happier with the whole process. We interviewed 10 companies before selecting Wise Solar and not only was their knowledge, responsiveness and professionals the best, but they also had the best prices as well. The install was on-time, quick and professional. The only issue we had was that our pool pump stopped working. I called Mike and he came out right away and within minutes found and fixed the issue. These guys know their stuff and they know customer service. Highly highly recommend. read more

When looking for a Solar company we came across a company called Wise Solar and gave them a call. Andrew (the owner) answered the phone and responded with an appointment within a 24 hour period. When Andrew arrived the next day he surveyed the home and then flew a drone over the home for mapping purposes. Within a few days Wise Solar provide us with an initial quote for a 21.6 kw solar system with approximately 60+ solar panels. We had 3 Solar companies provide bids for this job with price differences of up to $30,000 for the highest bid. The other 2 bids were relatively close in cost eliminating the high bidder. The Solar industry has a wide range of pricing components based on your individual needs. As with any installation of this type brand of Solar panels and complexity of installation have an influence on price. Working with the final 2 bids and their respective companies in the end Wise solar proved the more aggressive, open, and price competitive based on final selection of system size and panel manufacturer. Wise Solar installed the system once the rains let up in a very timely manner and made sure that all connections between grids were hidden whenever possible or painted to match the roof color. Alignment of panels was very good and cleanup was as expected. Follow up was spot on with minor adjustments within the same week. Connection to Enphase for monitoring was within a day or two. All paper work was also provided for tax credits and warranty on system. One further note. The crew installing the system were very helpful and cooperative on any request during the installation process. They even did some pre-wiring prior to the start of the job so conduit could be hidden within the attic area of the home. This was not considered an average size job and they performed as promised. Should you be looking for Solar you would be well served giving Andrew a call at Wise Solar, regardless of system size they are more than capable of doing the job. read more

Great team! So happy with their quality of work and excellent service. Should've done this year's ago.

I've been looking at sustainable energy alternatives for a while and considered solar. When I was in the process of getting quotes, Wise Solar was the ONLY company that was honest enough to tell me that solar was not an effective option for me. They ran a simulation and gave me a digital file so I could see for myself where the panels would be laid and how much energy would be gained throughout different times of the year. My place isn't a good candidate, but Andrew walked me through other clean energy options to point me in the right direction. read more

When determining which solar company to go with I invited 4 to present their offering. All but one were super salesmen working on commission, using sub contractors to undertake the instalation. We ended up going with that one, Wise Solar, headed by its CEO Andrew Thorry. Andrews skill level in this sector was 2nd to non and although he was not a super salesman, his ability to deminstrate using the latest technology was remarkable, furthermore in a language that I understood. He used a drone to photo the roof then photoshopped what the solar panels would look like once installed. Besides being some 22% less expensive than the next lowest price using the exact same product, the quality of his personal undertaking the installation where outstanding. As a bonus, Andrew download an ap onto our cell phones that tracked the power generated on a daily basis. I have no hesitation in recommending Wise, they do what they promise in a most professional way. Happy to show any interested party their installation here at our Venice home. Chris read more

Andrew Thorry is honest, warm, reliable and an all round good guy. Very trustworthy and thorough. I know him through my business network and have had occasion to meet several of his satisfied customers who have had solar installed on their residences. He's both a consultant and contractor so that cuts out the sales middle people, and that saving gets built into your price too. You couldn't do better than Wise Solar in terms of quality and service if you want to "own your own power." Strongly recommend. read more

Andrew came out to our house in Long Beach and diagnosed the problem with our rooftop pool solar hear heater. He came right when he said he would, charged nothing for the diagnostic and didn't try to sell me anything. In fact, he came up with a solution that wouldn't earn him anything more than my gratitude. Great guy who I will happily refer to any solar customers. read more

Very pleased with this company. Saving money! Andrew & crew are fantastic. And I've never seen an outfit take more pride in their work.

These guys were great. Small business, quick to respond, explained everything clearly, and if they weren't the cheapest, they were as inexpensive as any with whom I spoke. Thanks for making solar such an easy process! read more

Andrew Thorry, owner of The Solar Auditor, is one of the most helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and doing business with. He is always promt to help, does excellent work and I have asked him to return four times now and each time was pleased with the results. I will have no trepidations calling on his expertise in the years to come! Kiana Hogan read more

Andrew was incredibly helpful in helping us design our system and find a quality installer to put it in. Also, he was very good at helping us navigate the various agency pieces. Highly recommended. read more

I found Andrew to be very well informed and came up with creative solutions to my challenging problems. His solutions were pretty cost effective. His installation team showed up on time and were careful not to damage my roof or its surroundings. read more

I have been hounded by solar companies with bogus offers for years. None of the reps gave me the confidence they understood the product and how best to maximize the benefits for me until I interviewed Andrew from Wise Solar. His professionalism and knowledge of the product was bar none. The crew that installed my solar was equally knowledgeable. Andrew showed up after his crew finished to inspect the installation and ensure everything went as planned. This is a company I am happy to endorse. read more

After doing research Wise was the best deal out there. They had the best products for the best price. Russ and Mike walked me through the whole process and explained in great detail. The installation was fast and very professional. I have recommended them to all of my family and friends! read more

After a $700 electric bill last summer, we decided it was time to take the plunge and have solar installed in our 2700 square foot historic home. From first phone call to installation to financing, to the approval process through the city, Andrew Thorry and Wise Solar were amazing! They are professional and personable as well as being very good at what they do. We had explored other companies but decided to go with Wise Solar due to word of mouth from family that had worked with them ,along with the excellent customer service we received (and continue to receive!). Our highest bill has been $27.00 since August of 2018. We highly recommend Wise Solar and Andrew Thorry. In fact, we have already told our neighbors about them. Integrity, professionalism, kindness and quality are very important to us and Wise Solar demonstrated all of these things. Stop paying the power company! Use the power of the sun with Wise Solar! read more

Wise Solar has it dialed in. Comparatively, their costing was much better and the service was outstanding. One week from quote to full installation. These guys are awesome. read more

I had thought about getting solar for several years and finally made the commitment in the last few months. We could not have been happier with the work that Andrew and Wise Solar did. They were on budget, on schedule and did a great job addressing all of our questions and concerns. Could not recommend him more highly read more
