The Solar Energy market place is a little bit like the Wild West: anything goes that you can get away with! Between the manufacturers who produce quality products, you’ve got those who produce garbage products. Among the installers who believe they should provide you products and services that you’ll rave about to your friends and family, there are others who will take your money and leave you hanging. And that’s where EnergySage comes into the picture! They are familiar with the action patterns of a legitimate business, and stake their reputation as a trustworthy “broker” on the likelihood that the company they recommend will carry out the customer’s wishes…something like an “Angie’s List” for solar system installers. I provided EnergySage with my info (name, address, electric bill), and within minutes, I had proposals from six different companies in my Inbox. I was able to study the proposals in detail, pick the contractors who came up with the better offers (in my opinion), and discuss my selections with “Nicole”, my customer service rep at EnergySage. Nicole was able to confirm my selection of “best offer” based on my specific wants and needs, and put me in touch with the actual installer’s sales rep. Thanks to a YouTube video that mentioned EnergySage, I was able to go from casual look at solar systems to signed contract in a week. Am I completely convinced that everything will go according to plan? No, of course not. However, I know that if something goes awry with my solar system, I can discuss the issue with a EnergySage. The installer is motivated to make sure I’m completely satisfied, because EnergySage may not recommend them to a new customer the next time, if I am not satisfied. Like I said, it’s a little bit like the Wild Wild West out there. EnergySage can help you navigate this tricky landscape by recommending only known good actors. With EnergySage’s advice and guidance, I feel much more confident that the investment of tens of thousands of dollars is going to keep my HVAC and lights going, no matter what Texas weather or ERCOT decide to screw up next time…and there’s always a next time.
