savyconsumer Corpus Christi, TX

I would actually rate this company 4.5 stars out of 5; however, BBB rating system doesn't allow for half stars. They were very attentive throughout the entire process, from negotiating terms of the contract through to final completion. I felt I could always call my representative and he would find out the answer to my questions or update me on where we were along the way. In fact, I rarely needed to reach out because my rep was in constant contact with me. The reason for deducting a star (or .5 of a star, again, if it were possible) is because I felt a little more could have been done to go over the aesthetics and installation of our solar project. First was running conduit on top of the roof to connect the solar arrays, instead of running wires through attic, while easier to install it requires more holes drilled in the roof, to anchor the conduit, and increases the probability of water ingress in future. I was explained the technique they use to prevent leaks and was assured that will not be an issue. Second was the color of racking system to blend a bit better with our roof. That extra attention to detail and they would be 5 stars! Overall, I would recommend Solar SME to my friends and family if they were installing solar. I'm extremely picky about the contractors I hire and I would say they met and even exceeded my overall expectations.

I bet much appreciate the job Mike did pulling together the right size system at the right price for us. I do wish that I could have been placed with a customer service person that spoke better English. This is probably my fault because I know that he is trying very hard to speak the best English but I just can't understand him. I asked that he communicate with me only in writing, which he is, and that helps.

I am currently working with Solar SME to get my solar panels installed at my house. We are still in the middle of permitting, Design Approvals and Loan paperwork but the customer service provided by Alex, Steve and Zack has been amazing. They have answered all my questions so far and have been quick to response to any inquires. You are all doing a great job, glad I decided to go with Solar SME! :)

Cat Atlanta, GA

I liked that I was able to get a valid proposal of work without needing to have on-site visit (during covid). Alex was helpful and made himself available whenever was convenient and gave me much more insight into the available and recommended products. Unfortunately, this was not a good time for me to move forward with the solar but thank you!
