Personalized Design

Living in sunny Nevada made Randy a great candidate for solar. Ahead of discovering Monalee, Randy received quotes from a few different solar companies in his area. He chose Monalee because the process was simple and most of the heavy lifting would be taken care of for him. After his 13-panel system was up and running, his monthly utility bill went from $175 down to $10. Randy was happy with his experience and refers others to Monalee.

Install Timeline

  • Dec. 9, 2023 Project kickoff! As soon as we received Randy’s signed Monalee contract, we moved forward and scheduled his site survey.
  • Dec. 11, 2023 Site survey. This is an important part of our process because it gives us a clear overview of a homeowner’s electrical setup.
  • Dec. 20, 2023 Design completed. Our designers determined the safest and most cost efficient electrical design for Randy’s home.
  • Jan. 10, 2023 Permits approved. After compiling the info for Randy’s permitting and submitting his application, he received approval.
  • Jan. 18, 2023 Installation day! Randy’s solar system was successfully installed. Our install crews usually arrive at 8am to begin work.

The problem: high prices, slow execution

Before switching to solar energy, Randy was a bit skeptical about the process. He had been approached by a few ‘door knockers’ who presented quotes outside his budget. Each quote also displayed different pricing, making it hard to know which was the most accurate. When Randy came across Monalee, he was surprised by how much lower their rates were and how quickly his installation could be completed. Both price and projected timeline made Monalee a ‘no brainer’ for Randy.

The solution: install completed in just over a month

From start to finish, Randy’s Monalee solar system design and installation took just over a month. He paid for his installation upfront, as opposed to financing, and will recoup his investment in as little as four to five years. Compared to other solar companies, Randy saved more than $2,500 and his electricity bill dropped significantly. Randy was impressed by how quickly Monalee was able to move his project forward. He’s even recommended Monalee to several friends and family members.

    Great company prices were good and I got set up with a sweet Tesla Powerwall and kept my Nem 2.0 status. You won't find a more affordable deal. Monalee is the place.

    Great Service. Still waiting on inspection and the solar to actually work, but hopefully the last half goes as smooth as the first. They are asking for full payment now, even though it's not up and working yet.
