The concept of Smart Solar arose with a question from one of our first customers, why doesn't everyone do this? Great question.
Iowa is ranked the 29th state in the push for a solar United States. Our mentality established from a young age is to settle for nothing but number 1. It’s our mission to see solar on every rooftop in Iowa. Through education, we will show you why solar makes sense both financially and environmentally. If you’re thinking about going solar, we’d love to answer all of your questions.
