Joe Marinelli

Joe has been interested in solar power for a long time. “I used to live in Florida, and I considered going solar then, but it was too expensive at the time.” Joe then moved to Maryland, where his electricity bills were substantially higher, and energy prices were going nowhere but up.

Then, Joe talked to his brother in New York, who had a neighbor who went solar and was very satisfied with his panels. The neighbor’s favorite new hobby was watching his electricity meter spin backwards.

Joe looked into solar panels again, and was surprised at the affordability. “I don’t think a lot of people know how affordable it is,” he said.

Joe’s wife was initially not excited about solar panels. “She wanted new furniture or new carpets instead. But I convinced her that solar is a great way to save money and also reduce our carbon footprint. The system will pay for itself in the long run, and it adds value to the house if we decide to sell it.”

Joe did his research on the internet, contacted several installers and got several quotes before selecting Astrum Solar. He was impressed by Astrum Solar’s service: “I’m in the service business and I want a company that takes care of the customer immediately. Astrum Solar seemed really on top of things. They were really responsive. I felt really comfortable with them.”

Astrum Solar’s advanced technology and buyback offer were also factors for Joe. “I like having the ability to expand my system or to trade in my equipment for better technology when it comes along,” he said.

“I liked everything Astrum Solar had to offer,” said Joe.
