By using solar energy, Smartworld Energy provides its customers with energy-saving solutions that help them save money and the environment.
Most of their business comes from referrals from happy customers. Owner and Founder Gustavo Mendoza said that Smartworld Energy has relationships with builders, electricians, roofers, and other companies that refer the business because they trust the quality of their work and their honesty. and transparency.
“We’re all about transparency. We tell our customers everything they need to know. We see ourselves more like a consultant and an educational process than trying to sell them a thing,” Mendoza said. “I want to make sure people understand what they’re getting. And make sure they know how it works.”
Mendoza became interested in solar energy because of his belief that natural resources are wasted every day.
“We don’t realize that we are wasting natural resources and that we are polluting the planet. And our children will have to pay a high price for the action we are taking,” said Mendoza. “The reason why I got into solar is not only taking care of the environment, but also making sure we leave a legacy for future generations.”
To save consumers money by eliminating the need to buy fossil fuels, Mendoza founded Smartworld Energy 15 years ago as part of his commitment to the environment. There are several reasons why he chose San Antonio to grow and start his business.
“On average, San Antonio has more than 300 days full of sunshine. About 60 days a year we have cloudy or rainy weather. This is the perfect location in this part of Texas for of solar energy because of the amount of sunlight that usually falls here,” explained Mendoza. “Another reason is that CPS energy, the energy company in San Antonio, is very committed to having a renewable energy portfolio as part of their energy production mix. So we have the full support of them and the city of San Antonio. Antonio to push solar into the market.”
Homeowners can benefit from the CPS Energy rebate as well as federal tax credits when they invest in a solar energy system.
Smartworld Energy offers a free energy analysis to help determine the correct number of solar panels needed to power a home or business. The monthly energy consumption and the amount of space in a home will ultimately determine the number of solar panels needed.
An initiative that sets Smartworld Energy apart is the lifetime guarantees on the installations. Because of Smartworld Energy’s careful approach to installation, fewer repairs are required, leading to its lifetime warranty policy.
“We’re doing something right, that’s why we promise people that every repair they need while we’re alive will be free,” Mendoza said. “We don’t charge them anything because we know how to install it properly and we don’t have to go back and fix it. The warranty transfers to the new owner when they sell the house . We still honor the original installation warranty as long as no one touches the system or makes any changes to it.”
Honesty and ethics and good customer service are central to Mendoza’s business practices.
“We are a small company. We do not have the financial resources of a large corporation. But what we do have is a good work ethic, honesty and transparency,” said Mendoza. “We go out of our way to make sure people are happy with the product and the installation and that they actually save money on their energy bills. Whatever it takes to make sure we deliver what we promise is the main purpose of the way I run a business here every day.”
