Customer Reviews

Ravi Shivnath

Wow. What an incredible journey. James and the AEC installers were fantastic to work with. James was very responsive and kept us up to date throughout the process. The installers went above and beyond the call of duty when they installed the complete system in one day in single digit wind chill weather. Incredible. AEC definitely give Solar a good reputation. Our 16.4KW system with 40 Maxeon panels and Enphase micro inverters took just over 2 months from proposal to installed.

AEC Solar was fantastic from start to finish. Their sales team clearly showed the savings and set the right expectations, and communication with project management and the installation team was seamless. I was initially worried about how the savings would actually look, but after three months, I’m extremely glad I chose AEC Solar as my installer. I love not paying an electric bill anymore—it’s a no-brainer for me and my family and allows us to spend money on more important things.

Working with AEC Solar was a great experience. Everything moved smoothly, and their team kept us updated at every step. They took the time to walk us through our options and explained why certain products would work better for our home. We chose high efficiency panels and microinverters, and we are already seeing better energy performance. AEC Solar was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend them.
