Alternative Energy Southeast offers solar panel installations throughout the entire state of Georgia and western South Carolina.

Note: Costs in this table are average costs for the state and do not represent specific company pricing. "Average cost after ITC” reflects the cost after receiving the full 30% solar investment tax credit (ITC). “Estimated net savings” is the average amount residents in that state will save on electricity over 25 years, including their cost of installing a solar energy system.

• Generac PWRcell
• Kohler Power

The installation experience at Alternative Energy Southeast begins with a free consultation. Residential projects usually take a few days. Commercial project timelines may take several months to complete. Alternative Energy Southeast uses in-house teams for installations.

After the work is complete, Alternative Energy Southeast contacts the local building authority and power company to inspect the installation. Once the inspection is complete, your solar energy system will be ready for use.

In addition to solar panel sales and installations, Alternative Energy Southeast offers solar energy system maintenance including panel cleaning, repairs, tree trimming, inspections and electrical work related to solar panel upkeep. The company also installs EV charging stations.
