We couldn't be happier with our experience with ARE Solar. They were not only the lowest priced bid we received, they were very flexible, responsive, and did great work. They kept us informed throughout the process including all of the waiting for Xcel. I highly recommend working with ARE.

Report
I got a great solar installation on my home in Fort Collins with Andy Pendl from AAE solar, and am very happy. I started with getting a solar quote from www.costofsolar.com, and Andy followed up with a phone call right away. He walked me through the process, gave me a couple of options, and found a solution that worked in my budget that took care of pretty much the entire utility bill at my place. I'll see a payback on the system in just a few years, and then it's lavish savings for a looooong time afterwards. Andy took care of all the required paperwork and had things organized and simple
