Our Story

STARTED WITH
ONE INSTALL

In 2019, Evan Stone installed his first residential solar system in Upstate South Carolina. He'd spent years watching out-of-state solar companies descend on the Southeast — selling systems sized for California sun, ignoring local utility structures, and disappearing when something went wrong.

He started SmartSun to do it differently. A company that understood the Southeast's climate, utility rates, and building codes. One that would pull permits, hire local crews, and stand behind every install with a real warranty.

What started as a one-crew solar operation grew into a full home energy company as Evan realized that solar alone wasn't enough. A leaking roof, an undersized electrical panel, or an inefficient HVAC system could undermine the best solar install. So SmartSun added roofing, then electrical, then HVAC — building the team and licenses to handle every system in a home.

Today, SmartSun has powered over 3,500 homes across five states. The mission hasn't changed: honest advice, quality work, and a company you can actually call back.

What We Stand For

HOW WE DO
BUSINESS

These aren't marketing words — they're the standards we hold every project, every crew member, and every customer interaction to.

Honest Advice

We tell you what your home actually needs — not what generates the biggest ticket. If solar isn't right for you yet, we'll say so.

Quality Over Speed

Every install is permitted, inspected, and backed by our workmanship warranty. We never cut corners to hit a quota.

Community First

We're a Southeast company serving Southeast homeowners. We live in the same communities we work in — that accountability matters to us.

One Team, Every Trade

Solar, roofing, HVAC, electrical — our crews are employees, not subcontractors. You get consistent quality and one point of contact.

Our History

FROM ONE INSTALL
TO FIVE STATES

2019

Founded in South Carolina

Evan Stone installs his first residential solar system in the Upstate SC. SmartSun is born out of frustration with out-of-state companies that didn't understand the Southeast's unique climate and utility landscape.

2021

Added Roofing Services

After seeing too many solar installs compromised by aging roofs, SmartSun adds a licensed roofing division — so customers can address both in one project.

2022

Expanded to NC & GA

Growing demand from neighboring states leads to full licensing and operations in North Carolina and Georgia.

2024

HVAC, Electrical & Battery Backup

SmartSun launches full HVAC, electrical, and battery backup divisions — completing the vision of a true whole-home energy company. Operations expand into Florida and Virginia.

Our Team

EMPLOYEES,
NOT SUBCONTRACTORS

Every SmartSun crew member is a direct employee — not a subcontractor hired off a job board. That means consistent training, consistent quality, and consistent accountability on every project.

Our installers, electricians, roofers, and HVAC technicians are licensed in every state we operate in. Many have been with SmartSun for five or more years. When you call us back with a question, the same team that installed your system is the team that answers.
