Latest ARE Solar reviews
We decided to go solar due in part to available rebates, both federal and local with Colorado Springs Utilities. ARE Solar was already networked within the CSU and Solaredge provider system. Their proposal was the most detailed and well designed among others. Presentation and communication met every expectation. We had plenty questions on products, processes, warranties, maintenance, system size, and every question was met with helpful and trustworthy responses. We wanted the most reliable products on the market, and ARE supported our vision. Once we had the contract, installation was speedy and without drama. ARE further supported rebate paperwork with CSU fully, such that we did not need to work through uncharted technical communications nor inspections. ARE Solar makes the solar choice an easy and satisfying experience.... read more
Nothing but praise. Great communication, talented and knowledgeable installers. Would recommend to everyone!
ARE Solar was very fast and professional. They installed the system as proposed, no surprises. They applied for the permit quickly and once approved they had several people on site to very quickly mount panels and electrical infrastructure. The install finished just past the winter solstice, peak power has been higher than I expected and power generation is growing as the days get longer and the sun gets higher. Stats are easy to view on the monitoring web page which I have been watching daily for the past month. I'm thrilled with the outcome!... read more

Great service. I priced 5 different companies and listened to their presentations. AAE Solar was an easy decision for me. They were very professional and did what they said they were going to do.

We looked at a number of local companies before deciding on AAE. I'm glad we looked around, and AAE exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with from our initial contact all the way through to the day they came by to explain the system and turn it on. I have no doubt they'll still be there if we ever need anything from them again.
The system has now been on for almost a month and it has been performing perfectly.... read more
New solar at our house
Type: Residential Electric
Reviewed: 08/05/2015
We had such a good experience with AAE. Our neighbor went with a national company but we wanted to stay local. An added point was US manufactured everything. We were very pleased with the service from first visit to assessment to getting it all on the roof. Andy coordinated schedules with the roofer as we ended up with new garage roof due to hail damage.
We now take great satisfaction in seeing the credit meter go up and up and the usage meter stay far behind it.
Would happily recommend this company.... read more

AAE Solar is Outstanding
Type: Residential Electric
Reviewed: 02/04/2015
AAE Solar installed my system, 32 panels on my residence, in April 2011. I couldn't be happier. The project was completed on time, on budget, with excellent communication and project management throughout.
Three months after the installation, I noticed the system wasn't performing as expected. AAE responded immediately, diagnosed the problem (faulty micro-inverters), dealt with the manufacturer to get warranty coverage and installed all new and higher output inverters on my panels. The replacement went flawlessly and the system has performed beautifully since that time.
There are many company's that do a good job providing a service. But I believe the mark of a truly outstanding company is how they respond when problems occur. AAE's actions on my behalf in addressing and resolving this problem demonstrate that AAE is one of those truly outstanding firms. I can recommend them enthusiastically and without reservation.... read more

AAE Solar is Great!!
Type: Residential Electric
Reviewed: 01/23/2015
AAE Solar installed my solar panels in April 2012.
I checked many companies out before signing up with AAE Solar and none seemed as good. I had an extremely high electric bill because of the 12 children we adopted and the use of 3 evaporation coolers in the summer. I was paying over $400.00 for electricity in the summer. The cost of electricity has gone up almost 25% since we installed our system.
AAE Solar installed a 10K system for me which pays for most of the electricity we use. Our Electricity bill is now between $25.00 and $100.00 month in the summer; plus we get out carbon dollars from the electric company every month varying from $50.00 winter to $180.00 in the summer. The saving is wonderful; even with out loan we are money ahead.
I recommend AAE Solar panels to anyone who is planning on staying in their home for more than 10 years. They have always been there to answer my questions; even the dumb ones I asked.

Great Company- would work with them again in a second!
Type: Residential Electric
Reviewed: 01/18/2015
We did a whole house remodel and wanted to put in a PV solar system for our house. AAE waked us through the entire process of the equipment and how it works, and what they were doing to plan out the whole system. We ended up having to change our timing for installing our system and wait a few months longer than we initially planned, but AAE was very thorough and making sure all of the details were taken care of and nothing was missed. They were really responsive to things like being really persistent in working with XCEL, who needed to do certain things on their end. As soon as we got the system up and running, we started immediately getting checks from XCEL each month for the energy we are banking. We had a very positive experience working with AAE and would recommend them to anyone even considering putting in solar. It is a good financial investment upfront, but it absolutely made sense and we are already feeling like we're getting our money's worth for the investment. AAE made the process really stress-free as well, because there was a lot going on- they had to work with our roofers, electricians, general contractor, and the utility companies, as well as the city of Boulder in order to get everything set up. We had many, many other things to think about, and it was nice that we didn't have to worry at all about our solar installation.... read more

Despite freezing weather and a problem with squirrels chewing our wires on our solar panels the company completed everything as promised. Also. Mr.Waldman and his excellent team took the added step of installing screening all around our panels to keep the squirrels out. The squirrels destroyed one panel completely and the team replaced it at no cost to us. I really appreciated that.
