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.

We feel covered long-term, they have an extra warranty option in case any of their suppliers go out of biz We got a few quotes, and nearly everyone’s warranty on the panels, roof, and inverters is the same. Looks like the market’s standard has been set by the manufacturers. FYI: You have a 90% production guarantee, so if the panels don’t produce 90% of the power they said they would the team gets a notification and replaces the one that isn’t producing. This gave me peace of mind.

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.

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!
