What our clients say

“We found Mode Electrical to be a pleasure to deal with and we are 100% happy with the performance of our solar system and Tesla battery.The Mode staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Everything worked out the way it was planned, the consultation and preparation prior to choosing the system was excellent! It’s great when you deal with a business that has the expertise and the practical skills to set everything up perfectly. Even though July isn’t the best month for solar cell performance, we are generating more power than we are using.”
