Ailey Solar is a great outfit. They did an excellent job during the design and quoting phase and were able to explain all of the various considerations of solar systems. There was a significant delay while I cleared my solar system with my HOA, but Ailey was very patient throughout the process.The HOA had several requirements that were outside Ailey's normal installation process, and were quite difficult to comply with. Nevertheless, Ailey made it happen.Since the installation a year ago, I've had zero problems with my solar system. I'm also producing approximately 3 times more electricity than I'm using (I overprovisioned by design), so my energy bills each month are basically zero.I'd recommend Ailey to anyone; they really do a great job.
We highly recommend Ailey Solar. Their comprehensive energy audit revealed significant savings opportunities, beyond just solar panel installation. They optimized our home's energy efficiency, resulting in a dramatic reduction in our electric bill, from $125 to $16 per month, without battery storage. Their transparent process and detailed quotes made the entire experience seamless. For a complete home energy solution, Ailey Solar is an excellent choice. And, tell them Pam and Lon sent you. ??
They install our residential solar 15 months ago and it's been smooth sailing every since. They were responsive, not at all aggressive, answered my father's every question (retired electrical engineer, so there were plenty of questions), and now we're happily powering our home with sunshine! Have had zero roof issues, conduit was nicely installed, absolutely zero complaints.We've been recommending them to all the neighbours!
We had a wonderful experience with Ailey Solar. They were transparent and consultative during the sales process – there was no pushiness and they only recommended what would deliver a return on our investment. It was easy to understand the value we'd get from installing a solar system as well as the environmental impact.They were also up front about the issues we might experience due the our older home, and when we did need to upgrade our main panel they helped by providing recommendations for how to navigate that process.Once we got to install, the process was extremely smooth, and we were up and producing energy quickly. Highly recommend Ailey if you're interested in going solar!
If you are getting quotes, check out Ailey Solar. My system just got installed and the experience was extremely seamless, professional, clean etc.From the information gathering, quoting, communication, cleanliness, conduit runs, and final product, they are one of the best contractors (not just solar) l've worked with.The entire team from Tony (sales) to Matt (Supervisior) and all the guys on site Joe, Matt, Steve, Sam, Bob, and A.J…. Were incredible to work with. I have so much confidence in my investment and I have Ailey to thank. Definitely consider them for your solar install. They truly care about their customers.
