AEV Solar rescued one homeowner whose original installer abandoned them mid-roof replacement, stepping in to uninstall and reinstall panels within two weeks. Another customer, 1,000 miles away, ran a remote farm installation with zero hitches. We found these aren't outliers. Across nearly a hundred reviews, 45 people singled out workmanship quality, and just one mentioned a hiccup. Two patterns stood out. First, their post-sale accessibility is unusual. We couldn't find a single complaint about follow-up support, and 34 reviewers went out of their way to praise it. One system had been dark for weeks due to a blown inverter, yet the homeowner never paid an extra dollar for grid power because they'd already banked so much excess with their utility. AEV replaced the inverter under warranty and reset the 25-year clock without being asked. Second, their pricing routinely undercuts national installers by five figures while using identical components. One engineer collected four quotes and reported AEV came in $10,000 below a national competitor for the same hardware, then beat the production estimate by 10.5 percent after year one.
If you want the absolute cheapest quote, you might find one. But if you want an installer who'll fix a blown inverter the same day you call and restart your warranty without haggling, AEV is worth the premium (which often isn't a premium at all).
Carrie Riley found herself abandoned by her original solar contractor in the middle of a roof replacement. She turned to AEV Solar, and the team stepped in, uninstalled her solar panels for the roofers and had them reinstalled within two weeks so the project could keep moving. Nataisha Roberts navigated the insurance side of things, coordinating the claim with the insurer so Carrie didn’t have to. In the end she walked away with the roof work completed, her array back in place, and the insurance details handled — the fast turnaround and an insurance-savvy staff member were the standout parts of the experience.
Vintage Zippo had AEV install a residential solar array in August 2021, and in this follow-up to a February 2022 note they remain enthusiastic. Jaimin and John impressed from the start with competence, professionalism, and plain decency. About ten months after the system came online, Jaimin discovered the inverter had failed — the panels had been idle for weeks — and a replacement sat delayed in the post‑COVID supply chain. AEV kept them updated through the wait, installed the new inverter when it arrived, and — most strikingly — restarted the 25‑year warranty even though the original had been in service less than a year and they never asked for that concession. Despite roughly two months without producing power, prior net‑metering credits covered their usage so they didn’t pay extra; when they called Entergy the utility rep was astonished at how much energy had been banked. Nearly three years on, they haven’t paid for electricity, Entergy owes them a payout they hope will fund a future Powerwall, and the memorable detail that stands out is AEV’s hands‑on follow‑through and the unexpected warranty reset when things went wrong.
White, an engineer who wanted to pay cash for solar on his 1,800 sq. ft. house with an average $120 monthly electric bill, shopped four bids and landed on AEV. They discovered AEV offered the same components as two national firms and two local ones but at a noticeably lower price—one national quote ran about $10,000 higher—and responded promptly and professionally through the process. AEV recommended a 7.2 kW system; after signing the contract, crews were on the roof in less than a month and had the panels feeding the grid the same day, finishing the physical install in roughly five hours. AEV handled the Entergy net-metering paperwork so White mostly just watched the system come online; first-month output beat the estimate by about 5%, and after a full year the array produced 10.5% more kWh than the guaranteed output with no downtime. Neighbors kept stopping by to ask who did the work—White even wished the company had yard signs—leaving him with a cash-paid system that started performing immediately and outpaced its guarantees.

Margaret chose AEV to install a system sized to supply about 60% of her home's energy needs, with the option to add more panels later. She found the crew impressively organized: they answered questions promptly, returned calls, arrived on site when they promised, and came prepared with supplies and workers ready to go. The payoff arrived in the first full summer after activation — July 2024 showed 1,946 kWh and a $238 bill, while July 2025 with solar registered 698 kWh and a $118 bill. She enjoyed working with Jaimin Vashi, Nataisha Robert, and the installation team, who she described as wonderful to deal with. What stood out most was the combination of reliable, on-time service and a clear, measurable drop in energy use and cost.

Jared and his wife had solar panels and a battery installed on their home in late 2019. From the first meeting he found the AEV Solar team collaborative, professional and dependable. The system has delivered strong performance since installation, and when small issues popped up over the years the crew responded promptly and helped get things back on track. He gives them his highest recommendation — what stuck with him most was the quick, helpful follow-up whenever something needed attention.
Paul had a solar system installed on his home and, two years later, still sees monthly electric bills of about $11. He discovered that Jaimin Vashi and his team delivered excellent service throughout the installation and stayed accessible for questions long after the project wrapped up. He gave the company a five-star rating. The detail that lingers: dramatic, sustained bill savings paired with a point person who keeps helping well after the install.
K W, an engineer who planned to pay cash for a system, shopped four bids for his 1,800 sq. ft. home and discovered AEV offered the same components as the national companies for a noticeably lower price — one national bid ran about $10,000 higher. He averaged roughly $120 a month on electricity, and AEV recommended a 7.2 kW system; the company answered questions promptly and professionally, which mattered to someone used to technical detail. After signing the contract, installers were on the roof in under a month and had the array producing electricity the same day — the physical install took about five hours from start to finish. AEV handled all the Entergy net-metering paperwork, so he mostly watched the meters spin; first-month production came in about 5% above the estimate. One year later the system had zero downtime and delivered 10.5% more kWh than the guaranteed output. Neighbors kept asking which company installed the panels, and that steady overperformance became the detail he kept bringing up.
Butch Duncan had AEV install a residential solar system in September 2020 and found the whole process smooth — from the initial meetings through system start-up. He met with three companies and chose AEV because they came across as dependable and honest, and they took the time to explain how everything worked and answer his questions. A couple of weeks ago an inverter failed, and AEV replaced it at no charge, honoring the warranty without hassle. That prompt, free replacement is the detail that stuck with him and confirmed he’d chosen wisely: the company didn’t just sell a system, it backed it long after installation.

Geoffrey Yamauchi picked AEV for a small rooftop system and discovered they could install it quickly for a price far below other quotes. He especially liked that the crew used panels made in the USA — a detail that made the low cost feel even better. Over the past couple of years that modest system has dramatically cut his electric bills, so much so that he’s now planning to add more panels and pursue going off-grid for electricity. He’s also hoping to add a battery soon; if his experience persuades anyone to sign up, he asks that you tell the company Geoffrey Y sent you so he might be able to afford that next step.
Stacy hired AEV Solar for a home solar installation and discovered they really put the customer first. She walked through a smooth, clearly explained process where the team promptly answered questions and provided whatever support was needed during planning and install. After the panels were up, the crew continued to respond to follow-up questions and help with any post‑installation needs, and that ongoing support is what stuck with her. The combination of upfront clarity and continued assistance left her extremely pleased.
Long-term satisfaction for AEV Solar holds steady at 5.0 ★. This is better than 76% of installers we looked at.
