We had a great experience with solar energy solutions from the first visits by Caleb working through our solar needs to the talented crew who installed 30 panels on our roof. The work came in right on budget and ahead of schedule. We had some complications from Duke are utility provider and the Solar energy solutions team stayed with us to finish the net metering requirements of Duke which took some extra time and trouble. All this was done at no extra cost to us which was gratefully appreciated. I highly recommend this team they really are a class act and we now seeing $10 per month electric bills

SES planned and designed our 7.8 kW system with a Tesla battery in 2019 when we were building our net-zero house in Henryville. They even gave us the ideal specs to build our carport to house the panels. We found them professional, prompt, and easy to work with. Steve Ricketts is a champion. We have recommended the company to many others and are now contracting with them to add a second Tesla battery to capture more of the kilowatts that actually exceed production expectations. We can power our large house, my Bolt, my spouses electric assist bike, and all our electric outdoor tools. Steve has

This is my second set of solar panels installed by Solar Energy Solutions. They have very knowledgeable and professional people doing their installs. Not only do they know their stuff, but are efficient and even seem to enjoy what they are doing. We were having internet trouble while they were installing and one of their team members contacted me later to be sure my internet connection was working and recording the panel output. I would recommend Solar Energy Solutions to anyone that wants their panels installed by knowledgeable, professional people.
