Sigora Home CEO Logan Landry says, “we pride ourselves on selling the highest quality solar systems. We use only high-efficiency modules, enphase micro inverters, which from an industry perspective is understood to be the best option available and then we bundle it with these additional products and services. What we found in the past is solar is technology driven - it’s new, it’s exciting, as are other things, like electric vehicles and therefore electrical vehicle chargers, which we also, of course, sell along with batteries - these things are exciting to homeowners whereas a lot of energy efficiency improvements are not as exciting but are equally impactful, and beneficial, and needed.” Andy Bindea, a young Romanian immigrant founded Sigora Solar in 2011 with very little to his name. Bindea with his used Honda civic, a 40’ ladder, and a lot of grit, know-how, and belief in the freedom and benefits solar energy could bring to homeowners started installing state- of-the-art systems in Waynesboro, Virginia. In 2016 he wanted to grow the company so more people could enjoy the benefits of solar power and Landry joined the team. Together they have grown to serve 14 states across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, including California, North, and South Carolina. They have office locations in Charlottesville, Richmond, and Staunton, Virginia as well as Los Angeles, California.

Landry knows that “bundling of services that incorporate an energy efficiency audit of the home of clients with solar helps us conceptually, not fill a tank when you know it has holes in it. The concept is to then bundle that with additional benefits along the way like Pearl certification. This guarantees a homeowner an increase in home value on their next appraisal when they have a Pearl certification, which is a result of energy efficiency improvements and our renewable energy solar installation then of course we offer very aggressive financing that allows most homeowners that qualify for the financing to just essentially utilize the Produce and Reduce package as utility replacement. “To take out a piece or up to all of your electric bill and replace it with a monthly payment, that in most cases is equal to or less than the utility payment that is being replaced; and then that’s a fixed payment, whereas utility payments are not. They rarely, if ever, decrease. They continually Logan Landry, CEO of Sigora Home
