We pride ourselves on…

  • As a trusted member of the community with decades of electric and renewable experience, we have the expertise to assess your energy needs and provide effective solutions.

    Contact us to schedule a consultation and begin transforming your energy.

  • We provide quick, cost-effective solutions to help you meet your home and agricultural needs.

    We install solar arrays for a variety of needs, from simple residential energy to 40kw agricultural solar arrays. Coupled with our battery backup systems, you can be confident in your energy production and storage.

  • American Energy works with the best equipment in the industry.  

    Our solar modules are manufactured by American built Jinko Solar in Florida and SEG assembled in Houston TX. They are extremely durable and efficient, making them ideal for agricultural solar.  

    Sunmodo or PLP ground mount solar racking is warrantied for 25 years and features a sturdy, no-concrete structure.

    We are able to achieve this through our Galvanized Helical Anchors. These strong, cylindrical steel anchors sink deep into the ground, eliminating the need for concrete foundations. This not only reduces the impact on your land, but it reduces the cost of installation, putting more money in your pocket.

    We only use Enphase Energy equipment. Many different sizes of micro-inverters and My Enlighten monitoring app allows you to monitor the production and performance of each module and micro inverter from your computer or mobile device.

Who We Are

Hi, I'm Jay Peterson, father, husband, farmer, and licensed master electrician with over 30 years of experience. I have always been passionate about renewable energy, and in 2010 I started American Energy LLC.

I was born and raised in Blooming Prairie, MN.  Solar energy production has advanced considerably within this last decade, and it is my pleasure to introduce this technology to my community.
