So I opened my electric bill a couple months ago and.... SURPRISE!  Lordy!  I couldn't believe it!  I went down the rabbit hole and googled "solar", and now my phone is blowing up with automatic robots asking me to send them my utility bill.  Nope!  I should've called AES Solar first!  AES Solar is located right down the road from River Radio studios on Rt. 13 in Carterville, and they've been installing solar since 1999!  If you're like me, and you are concerned about the rising utility rates, maybe it's time to give solar a genuine look.  CALL AES Solar at (618) 988-0888, or visit www.AESSolar.com!  I had an opportunity to talk with Shariff Shakir on today's Kent in the Country Morning Show about solar, and how it can help you out as a home owner stay ahead of the rising cost of energy!
