Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Transferable Service Agreement
- Net Metered State
- Quality Products
Transferable Service Agreement
Modern Concepts allows customers to transfer their solar agreement and warranty onto the next homeowner. An MC Solar customer service team member can assist the homeowner with that process.
Net Metered State
Modern Concepts is in Florida, which is a net-metered state. This means that solar customers can generate extra electricity with their solar system during a month that can be used at a later time.
Quality Products
Modern Concepts uses top-tier quality solar products. These solar products come with a 25-year warranty, which is the best in the industry. Often panels provide solar power for much longer than the warranty, giving homeowners many years of energy production.
The Bad
- Limited Service Area
- Lack of Specific Information
- Company Age
- Hires Subcontractors
Limited Service Area
Modern Concepts Solar is available only to residents in Florida.
Lack of Specific Information
Modern Concepts Solar doesn’t offer a lot of specific information on its website that consumers need when comparing solar companies. Certifications, workmanship warranties, monitoring apps, and average pricing are all important data points consumers should have when deciding about what solar company to use.
Company Age
Purchasing a solar energy system that may or may not include a new roof is an expensive, long-term commitment. Customers will be working with the company throughout the lifetime of the panels' warranty, which is 25 years. It’s important to hire a company that has been around for at least 5 years. Modern Concepts Solar is only 1 year old, so it doesn’t meet our suggested minimum company age requirement.
Hires Subcontractors
Modern Concepts Solar hires out subcontractors. Some customers want to know this upfront and prefer to not work with companies that don’t do the work themselves. When subcontractors are used, there is a greater chance of communication challenges, as customers usually sign a contract with a salesperson whose main goal is to sell work, sometimes agreeing to things that installation subcontractors may not be able to do.
Working with the same company/staff who are responsible for the sale, installation, and long-term service needs is often easier for solar customers.
The Bottom Line
Modern Concepts Solar is a new company. We wouldn’t suggest using a company that is so young. Other than the few reviews we find on its website, there is little to be found anywhere on the web to give us an idea of Modern Concepts Solar’s reputation.
We suggest potential solar customers find a solar company that has been in business for at least five years and has great reviews on multiple websites.
