Smart Wave Solar

Founded in 2015 and based in Bluffdale, Utah, Smart Wave Solar has built its reputation as a solar installer in the Salt Lake City metro area by doing things differently from day one. The company differentiated itself early on by promoting a no-pressure sales culture and building reliable solar panel systems that still work even during a power outage. Smart Wave Solar is an industry pioneer, having filed its own patent for a protected power source system and method for safely obtaining power from the solar array during a grid outage. That innovation reflects a core belief that solar energy should deliver more than savings—it should provide genuine peace of mind for homeowners. Today, Smart Wave Solar serves homeowners across Utah and Colorado, with solar installation services offered in both states. In Utah, the company operates in cities including Salt Lake City, West Valley City, and West Jordan, while in Colorado they serve Denver, Aurora, and Lakewood. The company’s mission is to enrich lives by providing independence and peace of mind, aiming to be the most innovative solar company while sharing a passion for customer and employee happiness. Smart Wave Solar has been ranked #17 on The Salt Lake Tribune’s Utah Top Workplaces 2025 in the 35 to 124 employees category, and has been ranked #199 on Solar Power World’s 2025 Top Solar Contractors list. What sets Smart Wave Solar apart in the competitive solar market is their commitment to quality and transparency. The company offers 100 percent in-house fulfillment on every solar installation, meaning they do not subcontract the installation process to another local company, but are instead actively engaged in every step—from initial consultation, to system design, to installation by its certified team of solar experts, to activation and post-installation monitoring. Smart Wave Solar has been certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), and became BBB Accredited in December 2020. The company is also a Premier Certified Installer for the Tesla Powerwall 3, which can provide whole home backup for emergencies. For Colorado and Utah homeowners considering solar panels, Smart Wave Solar offers comprehensive residential and commercial solar energy system design and installation, paired with battery storage solutions. Their approach emphasizes education over pressure, with sales representatives focused on helping customers understand their options and find systems sized right for their actual energy needs. Smart Wave Solar maintains a 4.7-star review on Google Reviews and a 3.96-star rating on BBB, with customers consistently praising the company’s communication, project management, and responsive service. The company backs every home solar system with premium equipment and a 25-year equipment warranty and a 25-year workmanship warranty, among the longest in the Utah market.
