Solar Solutions
Why Solar in Alaska?
Offset rising energy costs
Perform in cold, low-light conditions
Support energy independence
Adaptable to multiple system types
Long-term infrastructure investment
Applicable across property types
Did you know that solar panels operate more efficiently in cold temperatures and can produce energy even in variable sunlight conditions?
Remote Power Solutions
In many parts of Alaska, solar is part of a broader system that includes storage, backup generation, and load management.
RES designs integrated energy systems for remote homes, villages, and infrastructure—built to operate reliably in extreme and variable conditions.
Off-Grid Solar
Off-grid solar systems offer full control over your energy supply, operating independently of the utility grid to generate and store energy on-site.
- Designed for complete energy independence
- Pair with battery storage and/or generators
- Customized based on energy load, seasonal conditions, and site constraints
- Suitable for remote and community applications
Grid-Tie Solar
Grid-tie solar systems are connected to your local utility, allowing your property to use solar energy first and draw power from the grid when needed.
- Uses solar energy to offset grid usage
- Can send excess energy back into utility system
- Typically does not require batteries
- Works best with reliable grid access
