Smart Wave Solar

At A Boy For Steve Michels

Steve Michels happen to knock on our door in July, 2021 and asked us if we had ever thought about adding Solar Cells to our house. My answer was that I had entertained more Solar Cell salesmen than I cared to count. Only one followed through and gave me an estimate others never came back. And then there was Steve Michels there was something about him that I haven’t experienced in a long time in a salesman. His systematic efforts and cooperation while introducing us to his Solar Cell company leaves no question to his dedication to his work. He was able to answer all our questions without hesitation. I gave him a copy of our electric bill and he provided a realistic quote for Solar Cells that seemed to be more realistic and affordable than I had even thought about. Steve went out of his way to provide an estimate in a very timely and efficient manner. His willingness to serve us as his customers was most beneficial ensuring that we knew we were on top of his to-do list. Thanks Steve for stopping by we will be enjoying our Smart Wave Solar cells and saving a lot of money not having to pay Rocky Mountain Power for a long time to come. A VERY SATISFIED customer…

Promise Anything for a Sale

They promised that this system would meet ALL of our power needs, We spent several hours with their salesman Steven as he assured us that it would cover our needs plus the additional power of a sprinkler pump we were installing. Needless to say the system didn’t perform as promised. As I talked to the owners, Gary and Justin I found that they won’t do anything to correct the problem. Their contract is very vague so there is nothing to fall back on. I later learned that their own system evaluation shows that the system won’t be able to meet my previous power needs let alone with my new pump. They didn’t bother showing me this until after the system was installed. I had another (competent) company evaluate my system and was told that there is no way my system can do what was promised. Beware, these folks only care about making the sale and will say nearly anything to get the sale.

A very good experience

Smart Wave Solar was the first quote we got out of about 4 or 5. The representative was very knowledgeable and took time to answer all of our questions. Everything he told us about the installation went according to plan. They handled everything and made it very easy. We are very happy with the results.

Excellent Service, Good Price

Smart Wave Solar was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. They gave me an excellent price and honored it even when additional expenses arose for them during installation. I got at least 5-6 different quotes and they were the best. Strongly recommend.

REVIEW UPDATE 10/22/21: Smart Wave Solar’s response to my survey has been excellent. They have documented that the system is working better than anticipated and we are satisfied with our purchase. Original review: Smart Wave ownership tell us we fell through the cracks. $35K spent and still don't know if all 40 panels are working. 55% reduction in energy bill; guaranteed 85%

I was extremely pleased with their performance from the start t

I chose Smart Wave Solar due to the professionalism of the initial presentation, the quality of the materials offered, reviews read online and finally the overall price.

Quick, easy, and highly recommended!

Smart Wave Solar was low pressure when they came over after I called and asked for a consultation. They answered questions we had without being condescending and didn't feed me a bag of lies like another company I talked to. The process for getting the solar panels installed on my home was pretty simple. Because there are multiple third parties involved in getting the panels installed and ready to go (building permits, city approval, electric company), things can feel like they are progressing slowly, but my project manager kept in touch with me at least weekly. We were actually able to get our panels installed and working in about 1 month, so it was actually pretty quick! We were originally told to expect it to take up to 2 months. If you're considering getting solar panels installed, I recommend Smart Wave Solar, and if my review helped you decide to give them a call, feel free to tell them I helped you!

This is one great company

Being a good salesperson is a very difficult job, requiring the individual to straddle the interests of several stakeholders. Not only that, he or she is the face of the company to prospective clients. Curtis Anderson has been exceptional in preparing us for our solar project. First and foremost, he has let us know in so many ways, that Smart Wave Solar is an honest and ethical company committed to the needs of their customers. He and the executives of the firm have gone above and beyond to insure that our needs and concerns have been taken care of.

Great job

From beginning to end, Smart Wave Solar did a great job. Steve, Jakob, Conner (and crew), and Bethany were a well coordinated team.

They did a great job

Very good company to work with. They did great work, and got everything done quicker than promised. I worked with Steve Michels in sales, and Alexandrea Jones as the project contact. They both answered my questions completely and quickly, and worked hard to ensure my experience was positive. They're a very customer-oriented company, and I would definitely recommend Smart Wave Solar.

Highly professional, organized, and very good communicators.

I liked the ability to use at least some of my solar even when the power is out. They were very professional, and kept me informed every step of the way.

Job well done!

I had a wonderful experience getting my solar pannels and system installed from end to end. My sales person was very clear and simple explaning the benefits of having the system in place and how it does benefit the bottom line. All aspects of the team are amazing, the project manager followed up very closely and explained every step of the way regardless of how small or big the detail were, she was always there in very timely manner and accommodating with my scheduling needs. Their installers were amazing and very fast and professional while they were there installing the panels on the wall mounts and the system. Further more I like to say that even after all is said and done, I received a followup call from the company upper management to ensure everything was to my satisfaction. The only thing left to say is "Big Thank You", and I am so grateful for the amazing job you all have done. From my family and I, THANK YOU! Respectfully, Hector Lara

Thorough and professional from start to finish

Excellent communication at every step of the process. The solar panel installation was very well done. The Smart Wave team was careful, professional, and thorough- A pleasure to work with!

Very professional

Best value

Informative

Sam has been very helpful in our solar journey. We spoke with six different providers before deciding on equipment and a company. We tend to ask very detailed questions and Sam was able to answer or get answers quickly. Installation is still pending but it has been a easy efficient process so far.

Painless process. Delivered as promised.

All I have to say is this: Smart Wave Solar delivered. On every account. Everything was on time. All individuals that I interacted with were always very professional and ready to answer any questions that I might have. The process was absolutley painless. Yes, I am a real customer, not a manufactured review to drum up sales. Smart Wave even agreed to go forward with my build without the finanincing fully in place because I was waiting for my HELOC loan to be approved. So they trusted me to come through. Which was a great feeling.

Smart Wave Solar was great!

The sales rep came across as more of a consultant than a pushy salesman and they could do things no other company could do. I wanted something that would still provide power even when the power was out without a battery until batteries were a more viable option and they were the only ones that could do that. The project manager was great at letting me know what was happening and how the project was progressing. The install crews were friendly, helpful and actually fun to have around. They took time to show me how things worked and even took my input on how to run the conduit. They truly provided the best overall value and all the people were great to work with from start to finish. I recommend them to anyone looking into solar.

Best of the Best

I have installed solar twice (my last home and the one I’m in now) and Smart Wave is light years ahead of the competition. Their system met the needs of my 4,000 square foot home and then some. Installation was smooth and on time. The project managers were very attentive to my needs and questions. My son ended up using them and he also had a great experience. I’d definitely recommend Smart Wave to anyone.

Wow! Exceeded expectations!

Smart Wave Solar was one of three companies we vetted before making our decision. Here are some things that set Smart Wave Solar apart from the others. *Better product and the Sunny Boy inverters. *Good communication that turned into Better during the project. *Price point for the product. *Years in business. *Knowledge of our sales person, Curtis. Here are some ideas for improvement; *Better planning process for installs. My roof is VERY steep. Installers had a hard time and had to delay the install by a day. Wrong breaker also delayed. *A better understanding of how the Fed and State Credit work to keep customers informed. From the beginning the process was good. Design, contract, and financing was a breeze. The parts that wowed us was during the install phase. Bethany gave daily communication, sometimes multiple times a day. When a mistake was made I was informed immediately, given a solution, and it was addressed the same day! As a contractor I know my customers appreciate that, and I appreciated that as a customer of Smart Wave. I bought the installers lunch and spent time with them. What a great group, Jared and team. They were fun to chat with, worked well together, and cleaned up my yard spotless when done. I wish they wanted to switch careers and work for me. I have already referred two friends to Smart Wave. You will be wowed with Smart Wave.

Best Solar company in Utah

Amazing solar consultants, most informative presentations, highest quality equipment, and efficient team overall

Fast response times

Great company would do business again. Very customer oriented.

Exemplary Service and a wonderful experience

We had long debated whether to get Solar Panels installed on our house and finally elected to go ahead as our roof had to be replaced this year. We did a lot of research and it came down to requesting bids from three different companies. Smart Wave Solar came out the clear winners after the presentation. Price wise they were smack in the middle but Celia won us over almost immediately by asking the key question up front; “Why do you want Solar Power”? The technology used is excellent and the payback time worked really well. From day one, the whole process was simple on us. Smart Wave handled the whole process of requesting permits and working with the City and Power Company. We even had our install date moved up a little when our Panels came in early. The City turned out to be a little pedantic and ended up inspecting the install no less than three times but Smart Wave worked with them to resolve the small changes they requested. As soon as the meter was installed, we turned on the system and our monitoring was up and running the next day. All in all, the whole process was really easy on us and we have no hesitation in recommending Smart Wave to anyone.

Very Positive and Detailed Without Being Pushy

We are just at the beginning phase of this journey but wanted to comment on what we have experienced so far. Steve Michels was our initial contact at Smart Wave Solar and worked with us via Zoom which was incredibly effective. The tools he had at his disposal were insightful and helped us understand solar not just specific to Smart Wave. There was absolutely no pressure from Steve and he allowed us time to research on our own. Even after we had decided to go with Smart Wave we pulled the stop card before the recission period had expired to look at one more bid. In the end, Steve and his team stepped up even more to make our decision a solid one. We believe that no one person knows all the answers. Steve was more than up front with us when we asked questions he had to research and get back to us on. He was very professional and willing to admit he did not know but would find the answer and he did! We are now assigned a project manager with Alexandrea and she has been very responsive during the design phase. We are very pleased at this point with all that has happened and excited to move this along and will certainly update our review as we do.

Highly experienced and professional/best overall value

Hands down the most transparent presentation/bid we received out of every single company we looked at. Smart wave uses great equipment with some of the best warranties out there. Our consultant educated us on the value of solar as well as set all the right expectations. Other companies were very surface level and didn't spend quality time explaining things. Smart Wave gave us all the info we needed, didn't pressure and followed up very promptly and respectfully. Best price and value compared to every other bid we received. Extremely happy with Curtis and the whole experience and level of customer service we received from Smart Wave Solar. BEST UTAH SOLAR COMPANY and highly recommended by us happy customers!

Great Experience

Smart Wave Solar was patient, helpful, and not pushy as I came up to speed with solar and evaluated several providers and different setups. They won my business due to their approach and their proposal that met what I was looking for.
