Personalized design

As a homeowner in sunny Florida, Carlos knew that going solar was a smart move. Many of his neighbors had already switched to solar energy for their homes, and Carlos was ready to do the same. He took his time researching and received quotes from a few companies including Monalee. As part of his solar project, Carlos had 22 Tier One solar panels installed and an Enphase iQ8+ inverter. The process with Monalee was fast and easy to follow.

The problem: lack of trust within the industry

Before signing up with Monalee for his home’s solar installation, Carlos spoke with other solar companies in his area. He also asked a few of his neighbors about their experiences switching to solar energy, and what pain points they experienced. When researching online, Carlos learned that many homeowners end up dealing with pushy ‘door knockers’ who just want to close a sale. He was ready to go solar but reading about these negative experiences gave him pause.

The solution: significant savings and quick install

As soon as Carlos signed up with Monalee, he felt a weight lifted off of him. He found Monalee’s pricing unbeatable compared to quotes he received from other solar companies in his area, and appreciated that his project included Tier One solar panels and other premium equipment at no additional cost. From start to finish, Carlos’ project took 47 days. Today, Carlos is saving money every month on his utility bill and regularly recommends Monalee to his friends and colleagues.

    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.
