When having someone install solar panels on your home, business, or church, it’s what you don’t see that matters!  AES Solar has been the trusted name in solar since 1999!  They understand the ins and outs of how solar panels work with micro-inverters, ground mounts, rough mounts, cable management,etc.  This is their bread and butter, and they’re good at it!  Some of the “fly-by-night” solar companies… not so much.  Get the work done right the first time!  Call AES Solar at (618) 988-0888! OR, go online at www.AESSolar.com!I had a chance to talk to Sharrif with AES Solar on today’s Kent in the Country Morning Show about the stuff you don’t see when it comes to solar.
