Got everyone on the same page I wanted to move forward with solar when the rep presented to me, but he insisted my husband was there, which irritated me at first, but I’m glad we did it that way. My husband has questions I didn’t think of, and the rep recapped everything we went over so it was super clear. He was with us every step of the way with iMessage updates (blue bubbles felt like I wasn’t getting spam texted lol) but it was high-touch… exactly what we needed with a decision with this long of a time horizon.

Online was easy low-pressure I opted for a video call on Zoom because I’m busy with work, and to be honest I didn’t want to feel any pressure with someone in my house. This was really convenient for my wife and I, the call takes about an hour, and I don’t think it could be shorter because they ask a lot of questions. This annoyed me at first, but by the end I was glad they got all the context I needed for a custom solution.

Locked in my rate I felt like a genius because everyone I know got a rate hike on their energy bills, but my rate is locked in. Feels great that I’m helping with clean air… I don’t care about the environment or climate change, blah blah, but if I’m saving, I guess it’s cool!

Difference: Expertise and Service It turns out most of the solar companies have the same equipment (panels, inverters, batteries, etc), so I was focused on the level of service I’d receive. Modern Electric uses AI in different parts of their business, like support, and humans for super specific questions.

Might as well do it right, even if it costs a little more They cost a little more than others but I believe it was well worth it. I learned that other solar companies subcontract out their work, so quality suffers.
