Using cutting-edge modeling, AES Solar provides estimates for all customers, not just for what the systems will cost, but also for how much power they will generate. We can then use this data, along with your power bills, to calculate the value of your produced energy, which will tell us how much money you will save each month.
Going solar can feel a little scary at first. We get that! It's a big investment for your business or household to make, and you want to make sure everything goes just right. So do we! Our customers love that we walk them through the entire process, and keep them informed on our progress at each stage.
We receive alerts regarding issues with your system, including underproduction, and will begin troubleshooting the issue promptly upon receipt of an alert. We also perform detailed production analyses at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, & 6 months, and then annually after that. We handle the interaction and installation so you do not need to worry.
Purchasers of a new solar energy system get a tax credit of 26% of the cost of the system. This is money the business would have paid to the IRS in taxes. It can be spread out over 5 years. Pass through entities can apply that to their personal taxes against passive incomes.
There are financing options that can monetize this credit for entities that can't utilize it, for example not for profits and business that don't have a high enough tax liability.Allows the business to depreciate the cost of the system over 5 years. This is a tax deduction each year. Like the ITC there are ways to take advantage of this deduction if it won't directly benefit the business.

Many of the incentives are designed to decrease your tax liabilities. Those who choose to go for an operating lease (forgoing the tax incentives) are still able to deduct the amount of the payments. Energy prices increase. Historically they increase on average by 3% per year. The amount or percentage of energy produced by your Advanced Energy Solution will be fixed.

The staff were patient and understanding when I had to temporarily put our solar project on hold due to pandemic challenges. I used this extra time to further research the solar project and realized that a ground system would work better than our original plans for a roof setup. The staff was professional and supportive. The system they installed on our farm is working great. We are very happy with all aspects of the solar project. We highly recommend them for your solar needs.

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.

Great educational showroom with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not only are they all encompassing with solar - design, installation, and maintenance for both residential and commercial; but the showroom has many educational tools, literature and solar merchandise! They are also a local business that's heavily involved with local economy chambers, committees and organizations! All my solar needs in one place!
