What others say about us
“I would highly recommend VES. All of their workers were very professional and kept me well informed of what they were doing and when. From the install of the ground mount system to setting the 48 panels — the electricians were very knowledgeable, workmanship was excellent.”
“The warranty and reputation are admirable. All aspects of the transaction were professional, timely, informative and top-notch when it came to customer service by explaining, problem solving, listening to requests and overall communication.”
“I had a wonderful experience with VES from initial contact to installation. I don’t do a lot of reviews but I don’t think these guys are getting the notice they should be getting. They have a professional setup team, construction team and ongoing service team. The materials are of a high quality and are designed to last. The planning and installation was very carefully done with a great deal of consideration to system effectiveness and aesthetics.”
“I have become very concerned about America’s use of energy, primarily fossil fuels. Our use of these fuels has a significant impact on our environment. I found VES to be the perfect partner. They have taken care of every one of the many daunting steps from grant application to turning on the switch. I now have solar installations on all of my retail stores using 50% less electricity and with pay back periods as little as 5 years.”
