Alternative Power Systems, Inc. is a full service, licensed renewable energy contractor. Our company is committed to providing practical alternatives to conventional energy consumption. We serve our customers in two ways; first we design, sell, install and service renewable energy systems, including photovoltaic  (PV), solar thermal (hot water), wind generators, hydro and backup or standby generators for residential and commercial in both grid-tied and off-grid situations. In addition, we also maintain a wide inventory of renewable energy products to supply retail customers. We know that there are other sources for products and services. Why choose Alternative Power Systems, Inc.? The short answer is that we are the region’s acknowledged subject matter experts on all things dealing with renewable energy.

Here’s the longer answer:

First - Our crews are knowledgeable, experienced professionals. Our company is a fully licensed and insured contractor. All our work meets local and state codes and fully complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC). We can provide expert advice on the full spectrum of renewable energy and passive energy efficiency, including water pumping and delivery systems, batteries, generators, photovoltaic modules, wind and hydro turbines, solar gain, inverters and more. We offer free consultations with a skilled craftsman that can answer your questions and concerns allowing you to make an informed decision.

Second - We carry a full line of renewable energy products. These products are on-hand so you can compare and get a true feel of the item.  The prices are competitive and we have knowledgeable sales experts that can answer your questions. We only sell top quality, time tested components that are UL listed and fully NEC compliant. The adage “you get what you pay for” is especially true for electronic components.

Third - Alternative Power Systems, Inc. is the only designer and installer in our area of Southern Utah certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners. NABCEP provides a set of national standards for renewable energy leaders including education, experience, ethics and skills. Other contractors might have a license, but using a general contractor is like letting your family doctor do open heart surgery, always use the expert.  Check out their website at www.nabcep.org.

Fourth - We are committed to making every customer a repeat customer. Your satisfaction is our goal. Our responsibility is to provide you a product that functions flawlessly over its entire life cycle and makes you a proud owner, so proud that you will tell your friends about us. 

Fifth - Our bids are hard, they are not estimates. The amount we bid is the amount you pay. There are no hidden, variable or dependent charges. We are confident in our designers ability and therefore standby our prices.

Sixth - We can help you increase the value of your home. Alternative Power Systems, Inc. expertise in renewable energy design, coupled with its unmatched record of field experience, makes them uniquely qualified to integrate renewable energy systems in recreational, residential and commercial projects.

Seventh - We are licensed and insured in Utah to do Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic installations.  And licensed and insured in Nevada for Photovoltaic installations.  We are an Energy Star Partner, which allows us to leverage the knowledge and experience of that organization.

We work closely with you, your builder and architect to aesthetically integrate renewable energy solutions while maintaining the property’s desired ambience. It is important for us to begin working with you as early as possible. Designing an energy efficient house is just as important as designing a reliable energy system. Dollar for dollar, it is five times more effective to invest in conservation and efficiency than energy production.

While the systems we design are capable of handling just about any domestic load requirement, it is not a perpetual source of endless energy. All energy systems have their limits (even grid power). With this in mind, choosing the right appliances, HVAC, R-value and water delivery system is crucial. When it is time to select these, we would be happy to work with you and it will make all the difference.

Local, State and Federal rebates and tax credits can make the installation even more affordable. Installing a photovoltaic system will also boost your property value; national appraisers estimate that a photovoltaic system will increase the selling price of a home up to 20 times the annual energy savings of that system.
