I would never have considered going solar if it had not been for the ease of use of EnergySage. I have had many companies visit me over the years and it has been a nightmare. False promises, high-pressure sales tactics. You get none of that with EnergySage. I actually got 5 estimates. All pretty varied, so it shows you there is not a real average in the industry. You have to navigate the type and rating of the panels, the net exchange rate for your power company, different types of financing, different batteries versus a generator, and so much more. EnergySage also assigns you to a neural advisor that you can email or have calls with at any time during the process to ask questions or get advice. Your advisor has no skin in the game so is just there to help you move through the process. All your communication with the Solar vendors should be done through the message portal on EnergySage up until the time you have signed your contract and secured and signed your finance agreement. This way your private information is held private until you have a legally binding agreement with your chosen solar vendor. You can be assured that any vendor giving an estimate on EnergySage is a quality vendor or they would not be allowed to quote on here. I have now chosen my vendor, who is ESD, and has been a dream to work with so far, secured and signed my PACE financing. Supplied my photos to go to the design engineers. If anything changes in the process I will update my review Dr. Kristi
