Solar Power Systems

A photovoltaic solar power sytem (or 'PV System') includes solar panels as the main component and includes all of the balance of system gear. We work with top quality solar panel brands such as SolarWorld, Canadian Solar, Kyocera Solar, and our own altE solar panels.

A solar power system also includes an inverter, which takes the energy that the photovoltaic system produces in DC current form and converts it to AC current, so you can run appliances in your home. We also include the racking and any balance of system components.

Whether you're considering staying connected to the grid or living off grid, we have the solar system for you!

Types of Solar Power Systems

Grid-Tie Solar Systems - Best for those who already have electric utility service, but wish to significantly reduce their electric bill.
Grid-Tie Solar Systems with Battery Backup - This is for those who already have electric utility service, but want the security of uninterrupted power in outage-prone locations.
Off-Grid Cabin Solar Systems - Perfect for the scaled-down power needs of small homes and remote cabins, going off the grid.
Off-Grid Solar Systems - Don't want an electric bill? An off-grid system is designed for the power needs of mid-to-large size homes, going off the grid.
Considering a Solar Power System?

Some questions to consider:

Will you be in your home for the longer term?

Have you taken initial steps to become more energy efficient?

Is your house south facing? Do you have a clear shot of the sun from approximately 10AM - 3PM?

If not, can you remove some trees to reduce the shading effects on the solar panels?

The advantages of solar energy in a home solar system include:

Free electricity- wow!

It's a non-polluting renewable resource

Solar panels are long-lasting and require very little maintenance

An altE solar power system includes the major components needed for a solar PV installation. Since each installation is unique, some parts/materials will need to be purchased separately to satisfy the needs of your specific project and local regulations.

Solar power systems harness the power of the sun to make electricity for your home, cabin, or tiny house. These renewable energy systems are available for homes that are connected to the electric grid, off-grid locations, and a hybrid of grid-tied with battery back-up. We've pre-designed systems for you to reduce the complication of "going solar".

Our solar powered system packages provide you with high quality solar panels from top solar panel manufacturers, including components made in the USA. These systems include an inverter to convert the DC power from the solar panels for grid-tie systems or deep cycle batteries to AC power for your appliances for off-grid power or hybrid systems where you want both grid power and backup power.

Systems that include batteries give you the ability to choose the type of battery that is right for your needs and budget. Multiple solar panel racking options are also available to safely install the solar panels, be it on the roof or on a pole. The balance of system components (i.e. breakers, wiring, etc.) ensure a safe installation.

If you don't see a pre-designed system that works for you, call us at 877-878-4060 and we can custom design the right solar system for you for free.
