DIRECTORY ENTRY: AEE Solar

AEE Solar, founded in 1979 as Alternative Energy Engineering by David Katz, our founder and CEO, began with the goal of bringing renewable, non-polluting power to homes and businesses in our foothills community in the northern California coastal redwood region. Over the years our vision and scope have steadily expanded, together with the technological advances and rapid growth of the renewable energy industry itself.

Today we sell exclusively wholesale, shipping reliable, proven products and providing expert technical support to renewable energy resellers, contractors, integrators and installers in North America and around the world. We also sell to RV, marine and other specialty dealers; many types of OEMs (original equipment manufacturers); and industrial and government remote power users.

Most Extensive Inventory in the Industry

AEE provides everything needed to design, install, upgrade and maintain renewable energy power systems. We sell solar, wind and micro-hydroelectric systems and equipment, including hard-to-find parts nobody else carries. We continually search the world over to bring our customers items and prices that no other distributor can match. (Can’t find a critical component? Give us a call; chances are we stock it or can locate it for you.)

We sell and help engineer systems for residential, commercial, industrial, mobile and specialty applications. We also provide diverse water-pumping and DC-powered devices, plus lighting, refrigeration and other appliances geared for remote and alternatively powered needs. Whether your customers are on the grid or have applications that require remote power, our staff can help you deliver the right solution.

Unsurpassed Expertise & Service

We take pride in guiding our customers through the ever-changing maze of renewable energy technologies and regulations, and then delivering the right solutions in the least amount of time and at highly competitive prices. Our goal is to keep our customers satisfied by helping them keep their customers satisfied.

Our staff of technical experts can answer virtually any question about renewable energy systems, and we are happy to help our customers custom design solutions to their customers’ needs.

More than a Job

At AEE Solar, providing renewable energy solutions is more than a business. It's a way of life. In our personal as well as work lives, we are dedicated to reducing our impact on the earth and the consumption of her resources.

Most of our employees either live off the grid or have grid-tied renewable energy systems in their homes. Our professional staff has hundreds of combined years of dedicated experience in sourcing, engineering, installing and maintaining solar, wind and hydroelectric solutions.

We're Just Getting Started

Since our humble beginnings in 1979, we have directly or indirectly, through our authorized resellers, helped many thousands of people achieve a significant measure of independence from traditional power sources. We are excited about our future, and we look forward to serving a growing customer base for many decades to come with the same level of enthusiasm and dedication that we have had from day one.
