How do we begin planning a commercial renewable energy project?
Contact RES with your project location, facility type, current energy sources, approximate energy requirements, and operational goals.
Does RES offer commercial system maintenance and support?
Yes. RES provides operations and maintenance services, including monitoring, preventative maintenance, battery testing, troubleshooting, repairs, and system upgrades.
Can renewable energy reduce operating costs for an Alaska business?
Renewable energy may help reduce electricity purchases, fuel consumption, or exposure to changing energy costs. Actual financial benefits depend on system design, energy demand, utility rates, fuel costs, project location, and installation expenses.
Does RES work on commercial energy projects in remote Alaska?
Yes. RES serves customers across Alaska, including rural and remote locations.
Can RES integrate renewable energy with existing generators or electrical systems?
Yes. RES designs hybrid power systems that can combine renewable generation, battery storage, generators, and existing electrical infrastructure.
What types of commercial renewable energy systems does RES install?
RES designs and installs commercial solar, battery storage, backup power, hybrid energy systems, and supporting electrical infrastructure. RES also offers geothermal solutions.
What information does RES need to design a remote power system?
Useful starting information includes your project location, what equipment needs power, expected energy use, seasonal or year-round operation, existing electrical equipment, available generators or charging sources and your priorities for backup and reliability. RES can use that information to help determine what additional site assessment or system planning is needed.
Can solar be used on a boat?
Solar can contribute to battery charging and onboard electrical needs in marine applications. The appropriate system depends on the vessel, available installation area, electrical loads, battery system and other charging sources.
Does RES provide solar and battery systems for RVs?
Yes. RES works with RV and mobile power applications. System design can account for available installation space, expected loads, battery capacity and available charging sources.
Can RES help with remote cabins?
Yes. Cabin systems can be designed around seasonal or year-round use, expected electrical loads, available renewable resources, battery storage and backup power requirements.
