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.

Smart guys It was great talking to their team, who seem super professional. Some of them used to be in tech, banking, and consulting— I felt more secure with their level of professionalism for this reasons.

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.

Knowledgeable and professional The consultant I met with was an ex-finance guy, so it felt like I was making the right decision, and the solar loan felt like a financial hack. He made it clear that the lease or PPA options didn’t make sense for us because if we didn’t choose these we wouldn’t save on taxes. Grateful for their guidance and expertise… hope these guys win!

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.
