YOU MADE
THAT POWER.

DON'T GIVE IT AWAY.
Every kilowatt your panels produce during the day and don't use gets sold back
to the power company for pennies. A battery lets you keep it and use it when
you actually need it, day or night, rain or shine, grid up or grid down.

WHY NOW

The best time to add
a battery was the
day you went solar.

The second best time is before the next outage.
Storms don't check the calendar, and neither does your power bill. Every month without storage is more energy sent back to the grid at a loss, and one more outage you're riding out in the dark.
Adding battery backup now means your system starts paying you back, and protecting you, right away.

name in Southern

CUSTOMER VOICES

Here's what our
customers are saying

Richard Holland

About six weeks ago, there was a major power outage in our area. Grid power was down for about 16 hours around us, and other people were without power for more than two days.

During this time, Ruth and I enjoyed watching TV in our air-conditioned home. We were the envy of everyone around us. Thank you very much for making that possible.

Want more protection

Pair your battery with a generator for round-the-clock backup.

A battery covers most of what a home needs day to day, but a generator is what carries you through a multi-day outage. AES is one of the few installers in Southern Illinois who can integrate solar, battery, and generator into a single system, where your generator can even recharge your battery bank automatically.
