We can can not speak highly enough of AES. Our solar installation is working as planned and we are having significant monthly electric bill savings. The actual installation and follow up service from AES was exemplary. The. workmanship, professionalism, and courteousness of everyone involved in our project was top notch. From the initial estimate process through to the completion of your project you can not do better than AES.

They did an excellent job in every respect, from assessing our home's orientation and suitability for solar through all the details of installation and follow-ups. Their system has performed so well that on a later date we had them add an additional six panels on a different wing of the house. We're now into our second summer with solar power, which is consistently providing about half of our electrical power needs, exactly as they predicted. Previous to choosing AES, we had gotten other quotes for solar, and those estimates were much more costly. We feel that with AES, we've saved a great deal of money while still receiving superior product and service.

I worked collaboratively with Alternative Energy Southeast staff for a year on a community-wide project. In this time, they have always held themselves to the highest standard. After seven years of researching options for solar systems on my own home, I finally pulled the trigger and had AES do the installation.

From proposal to installation to commissioning, everything went very well. Montana and staff were very professional and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our needs were met.

While completing the installation, we discovered a preexisting fault in my electrical panel (it was literally melting). AES was very good at reviewing the issue, discussing options, and fixing the problem. I believe it speaks to their ethical approach that the cost for the additional work was VERY reasonably priced. I've had electrical work done on other residences and I'm familiar with industry pricing. In our situation the AES could have gone with the "Change Order" approach and gouged us because we were in a bind. Instead, we received excellent work basically done for the cost of materials.

I highly recommend AES for solar installations and residential electrical work.

We had a wonderful experience with AES. We were part of the Solarize Athens Project. From our very first phone conversation to see if we were a fit for solar power to the very last conversation after the project was complete AES exceeded our expectation. Every representative of the company was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.  I never once felt pushed to purchase anything. They thoroughly presented various options on solar installation for my household and helped my find what would best fit our needs. The installation team was also top notch. They were hard working. They even left my yard neater than they found it! They were kind to my young children and made them feel apart of the team. The project is complete now and exceeds my expectations. They are honest, hard working, and dependable. I would recommend them without any reservations.

Gordon performed a complete rewire of my house...and I mean complete.  Every panel, switch, fixture and outlet. It is probably one of the more difficult rewires you could possibly do as it is a mid century modern house with no attic/crawlspace, exposed structural ceilings, and glass walls in some places. The other electricians I had come by for quotes either ran away scared or tried to charge me an astronomical fee..and I mean unbelievably high...because they didn't want to mess with it. Gordon took the project on without blinking and I have to say I am extremely impressed with his ingenuity, work ethic and professionalism.  He had to get creative because of the weird layout and construction of my house...and I have to say I couldn't be happier. He solved every problem that came his way...and made sure I was completely happy with the project.  I am new in town and I feel like I was really lucky to find an electrician with that level of skill at a more than fair price.  Definitely call this guy!!!!!!!
