Our Process
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. Here’s what the process will look like.
1. Free Quote
Our process begins with a free quote, available right here on our website. By sending us your basic contact information, we are able to estimate your site’s solar potential and give you an idea of the cost.
2. Discussion, Design, and Estimate
Once we receive your request for a free quote, we like to reach out to discuss your energy needs in greater detail so that we can match them with the right products. At this point we can start designing your system and narrowing down your cost range. It’s not uncommon for the price to change throughout the process as we find every last penny that we can for you.
3. Site Visit
With plans drawn up, our next step is to visit your business or home. While there, we will take pictures of the proposed sites, calculate yearly sun exposure and viability, and answer any questions you may have. This is the exciting step, when the project begins to feel real.
4. Final Changes and Contract Signing
Using what we have learned from your site visit, we will make any necessary changes to your contract, and walk you through every dollar and cent to make sure you know what you’re getting, and what you’re paying for it. Once the ink is dry, we will schedule dates for further visits and construction.
5. Construction
At last! It’s time to break ground! Depending on your personalized solar design, it can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks to get everything up and running. We’re sure to keep our customers fully informed and aware of the construction process and timeline throughout. If your system is tied in to the grid, we will invite your energy provider to come out post-construction to inspect the system and turn it on.
6. Monitoring
At this point all that’s left for you to do is to sit back and enjoy the savings. This is actually our favorite part, when our customers show us their vastly lower power bills! Our work has just begun though, as we provide monitoring and service for the life of your system.
7. Refer and Review
AES Solar offers a cash referral fee when you refer someone to us and they purchase a solar power system. Earn 1/2% with a minimum of $500 by filling out the forms for Commercial and Residential referrals.
We’re also eternally grateful for the Testimonials and reviews on Facebook and Google that our happy customers write.
