How do you scale a solar company without cold calls, pressure tactics, or generic pitches? Freddy Petkus figured it out — and built Critical Mass Solar into one of New England’s most trusted local solar providers.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes with Freddy to understand how his no-BS, education-first philosophy changed the game in a crowded, skeptical market.

  • Why Freddy ditched sales scripts and leaned into real conversations
  • The importance of chemistry + math in closing a solar deal

  • His approach to battery-only installs and rate-optimized storage
  • Lessons from transitioning into commercial jobs like Porsche dealerships
