The investment

Electricity in Bermuda is a cost that only goes one way.

Bermuda pays some of the highest electricity costs in the world, and the usage charge has risen about 4.2% a year for the past 10 years. Our first proposals, in 2008, projected where the rate would be in 2026. It got there.

Taking control

A system is a price you pay once. Grid power is a price you keep paying.

Solar fixes the cost of your power on the day you buy it. Every year the grid rate rises, the gap between what you would have paid and what you do pay gets wider. That is the protection, and it is why the return improves with time rather than fading.

Return and payback

17%a year

Paid back in the 5th year. Warranted for 40.

A typical AES proposal returns about 17% a year on its price, pays for itself in the 5th year, and over the panels' 40-year warranty returns several times what it cost. Your proposal shows the figures for your roof and your bills.

See it on a chart

Where the cost was, is, and is heading

The gap widens every year the system runs.

The red line is what grid power costs over time at the 4.2% a year it has averaged for the past decade. The navy line is a solar system: paid for once, producing for 40 years. The gold line is what the system returns, year after year, against its price. It crosses the price in the 5th year and keeps climbing because the grid rate does.

Grid power, at 4.2% a yearThe system, paid onceWhat the system returns

Indexed to the price of the system. A typical AES proposal assumes the current rate rising 4.2% a year and shows a first-year return of about 17%. Your own proposal is built from a year of your bills.

Flexible payment plans available

Two ways to pay for the system.

Design, permitting, supply, installation and all electrical work are included in the price. Either way, nothing beyond the deposit is due until the system is switched on.

Option 1

Cash

A 30% deposit on signature.
The balance is due when the system is commissioned and running normally.
Nothing owed after switch-on.

Option 2

Monthly payment plan

A 30% deposit on signature.
The balance over up to 5 years at a fixed 7% rate, on a monthly schedule.
Payments begin only when the system is commissioned, so the system is producing before the first instalment.
Pay off the full balance at any time.

Residential solar

Your energy at your fingertips
Day. The roof runs the house and fills the battery.This is Live Status in the Enphase App: what the panels are producing, what the house is using and where the rest is going, right now. In the day the surplus charges the battery, and anything beyond that exports.
Afternoon
Production falls. The battery starts to take over.As the sun drops the panels cover less of the load, and the battery fills the gap without anything being switched.
Night
The battery powers the house.Lights, air conditioning and the kitchen run on the power the roof made at noon. Nothing is bought from the grid.
Grid down
The grid drops. The house stays on.The chip flips to Off Grid; the battery and the panels carry the house. No switch to throw, no generator to start.

The Enphase IQ Battery 10C

Stores the day. Powers the evening. Takes over in an outage.

The battery AES installs on every new system, and on the solar you already have. It lives outside on a Bermuda wall, runs itself from the app, and grows with the house.

10 kWhusable energy per unit; add a 2nd or 3rd any time

7.08 kWcontinuous power, enough for air conditioning and pumps

NEMA 3Rrated for rain, humidity, wind and salt

15 yearsEnphase warranty, plus AES's 10-year installation warranty

The battery

Outages and storms

Backup, built for hurricane season.

Bermuda loses the grid in storms and in fair weather. With an Enphase battery the house keeps running through both, automatically, on the power the roof made.

Automatic

The battery takes over before the lights flicker. Nothing to switch, nothing to start.

Storm reserve

Hold back charge before a named storm, from the app, and the system keeps it full.

NEMA 3R

The battery is rated for Bermuda rain, humidity, wind and salt.

Backup and the battery

Battery storage

Keep the power you make.

Export to the grid earns a fraction of what grid power costs to buy back. A battery keeps that gap at home. The Enphase IQ Battery 10C works with the solar you already have, whoever installed it, and expands any time.

Panel by panel

Every panel, working on its own.

Each Maxeon panel has its own Enphase microinverter, so you see every panel's production in the app, shade on one never slows the rest, and a fault is a message on your phone rather than a roof that stops. This is the Array view of an AES system in Paget, as Enphase shows it, over the drone image of the roof.

Bespoke engineering

Designed around your roof and your consumption.

We read a year of your bills, measure the roof and design the system that covers your usage, by a Chartered Engineer. Panel count, layout and battery customised to your house and the way you use power.

20,000 panels of experience on slate, SKB, concrete, TPO and metal roofs.

How a system is designed

What goes on your roof

One integrated system.

Maxeon panels, Enphase microinverters, the Enphase battery and one app. Each part is made to work with the others, and warranted longer than anything else on the island.

Maxeon 3, 430 W

22.6% efficiency, the highest available. Maxeon has chosen AES as its only trained and certified installer in Bermuda for 18 years.

Enphase IQ8 microinverters

One per panel, so every panel works on its own and you see every one. No single inverter to fail and take the roof down with it.

Enphase IQ Battery 10C

Automatic backup, a salt-rated housing, generator support, and capacity you can add to any time. For every new system, and for the one you have.

Why Maxeon

The panel that is still producing 18 years on.

22.6%

The highest efficiency on the market, so fewer panels on the roof for the same power.

40 years

The only warranty in Bermuda covering materials, labour and a guaranteed level of production.

2008

Our first Maxeon systems are still producing. Salt, sun and every hurricane since.

About AES

Maintenance

Looked after for the life of the system.

Monitoring, hurricane preparation, cleaning, troubleshooting and repairs, inverter and battery service. For AES systems, and for the solar you already have.

Maintenance

Your roof, after solar

Panels off. Roof restored. Panels back on.

When the roof under your panels needs doing, AES RoofTech makes it one job: our own solar team takes the panels off and puts them back the day the roof is finished. One team, one quote, one point of responsibility.
