Can RES design power for a remote business or facility?
Yes. RES works with residential, commercial and remote applications and can evaluate renewable generation, battery storage, generator integration, electrical infrastructure, controls and ongoing support as part of a complete system.
Can an off-grid system include a generator?
Yes. Generators are commonly integrated with batteries and renewable generation in hybrid power systems. The system can be designed so each energy source supports the site’s operating requirements.
Do I need batteries for an off-grid solar system?
Most fully off-grid solar applications require some form of energy storage or another source of power for times when solar generation cannot meet the load. The appropriate battery capacity depends on energy use, desired autonomy, seasonal conditions and the overall system configuration.
Can solar work for an off-grid property in Alaska?
Solar can be part of an Alaska off-grid energy system, but system design needs to account for location, seasonal solar availability, electrical loads and the other energy sources available at the site. Battery storage and generator backup may also be incorporated depending on the application.
How does geothermal work?
A geothermal system uses underground loops and a heat pump to transfer natural heat between the earth and your building, providing highly efficient heating and cooling without generating heat.
Does RES handle permitting?
Yes, RES manages permits, inspections, and utility coordination.
What is the installation process?
The process includes consultation, system design, permitting, installation, and support.
