THE OPPORTUNITY

Solar isn't green
spending. It's a financial strategy.

Every year, a portion of your profit goes straight to the IRS. Solar lets you redirect a meaningful piece of that toward an asset that lowers your operating costs for the next 25 years. Federal incentives, state programs, and accelerated depreciation can stack together to make the math work in your favor right now, not someday.
WHY NOW

Invest now,
save later.

Energy costs only move in one direction. A solar investment locks in protection against those increases while reducing what you pay out every month. The incentive stack available today won’t last forever, and businesses that act now capture more of the benefit.

CUSTOMER VOICES

Here's what our customers are saying

Kelsey Albers

AES was amazing to work with! They were excellent at communication and follow-through. The entire process was painless—from the estimate and site visit to contract signing, installation, and customer service.

Add to this that AES is doing BIG things—like saving humans from themselves. Go with AES—you won’t regret it, and neither will future generations.

★★★★★

Carol Eaton Brandenburg

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 trying to figure out where we can put a few more panels!

★★★★★

Scott Ishman

We had a great experience with AES. The staff were very knowledgeable and walked us through the process from the initial consultation to the final activation. All our questions—and we had many—were answered quickly and to our satisfaction.

The installation crew was very knowledgeable and professional. They kept to their schedule and let us know in advance when a change had to be made. We chose AES because they are well-established, use quality materials, are a local company, and give back to the community.

★★★★★

Your energy bill is an expense. Your solar system is an asset.

Let's build the numbers together.
