You can't go wrong with AES. Aur and his competent crew have installed grid intertie systems on two of my houses. The whole process from beginning to end went smoothly with almost nothing needed from me. One was entirely installed over the weekend. I couldn't be happier with the systems which are producing enough energy to make my electric bill usage $0 some months. Saving money while offsetting carbon emissions never felt better. Having a healthy planet is not just important for future generations' physical health but also mental health. I highly recommend this crew without reservations.

We had a great experience with AES. The staff were very knowledgeable and walked us through the process from the initial consult to the final activation. All our questions, and we had many, were answered quickly and to our satisfaction. The installation crew was very knowledgeable as well and very professional. They kept to their schedule and when a change had to be made let us know in advance. We picked AES because they are well established, use quality materials, are a local company and give back to the community.

Very knowledgeable and patient sales staff who answered all of my questions. We have installed solar at both our home and business and are very pleased with both. The installation went very smoothly and looks great. They worked hard to put things where I wanted them instead of just the easiest spot. We have had a year of problem free solar so far and love it. We are now in the process of trying to figure out where we can put a few more panels!
