In 1979, David Katz founded Alternative Energy Engineering (AEE Solar) in Redway, California as a solar enthusiast. The company began by specializing in off-grid equipment before expanding into the residential market in California. In 2014, AEE Solar was acquired by Sunrun, along with SnapNrack.
As part of their closure on May 3, 2024, AEE Solar is currently selling off their remaining inventory at clearance prices. Customers are encouraged to reach out to their territory sales manager for potential opportunities to purchase directly from SnapNrack in the future. Last year, the distributor opened a massive 140,000-ft2 distribution center in Visalia, California, signaling their commitment to serving their customers until the very end.
