Why Wind in Alaska?

How do wind energy systems work?

Wind turbines convert kinetic energy from moving air into electricity. As wind moves through the blades, the turbine generates power that can be used immediately, stored in batteries, or integrated into a larger energy system.

Testimonials

“Great people and great place to do business!”

– Richard de Leon

“I had my solar panels installed five years ago and there was a little bit of an issue with the electrical pipes moving around three days later they were out there and spent half a day upgrading and redoing the entire thing, I would give them an A+ for Service!”

– Todd Marcus

“Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Easy to work with, good communication. Installation was quick, not invasive and they walked me through it thoroughly.”

– Jamie Fredrickson

“Karl was a great help. He knows his stuff.”

– EH

“Replaced my Gateway in a timely and efficient manner.”

– Steve Lambert

“I called RES over Christmas break. I was at a remote/off grid cabin and my generator failed with temps reaching -32F. The Solar system I purchased from RES was working perfectly. But my back-up generator was not powering the cabin. I called KEVIN at RES. He spent nearly 40 minutes on the phone with me troubleshooting my issues. Kevin was patient and knowledgeable and got my system up and running. Customer service like this is hard to find! I will not buy any solar anywhere other than from RES. Kevin has my repeat business.”

– Glenn Nelson

“We purchased a solar system for our remote cabin. The sales process was educational, and fun. We got a system to meet our specific needs. I took the equipment home and set it up in my garage before taking it to our cabin, because I wanted to make sure i understood the system and set up process before getting far away and by myself. Karl provided me with friendly valuable tech support, and made sure I understood what I was doing. We purchased a high quality system, with local high quality support. Great value. I enthusiastically give a 5 stat rating.”

– Steve Conway

“RES provided excellent warranty work, and fixed our generator set up here on the Kenai Peninsula. These guys have a great team, including Kevin, Karl, and Scott. We invested a lot of money in our system, and it’s good to know we have great customer support behind it.”

– Allan B

“All the staff at RES Anchorage have been extremely helpful over several years of purchasing gear and hiring them for rural call-out jobs. They helped us select the correct equipment for our system and provided lots of tech support through the DIY jobs. Karl was even willing to help after business hours while I was troubleshooting in the dark. I feel like they genuinely want your off grid power system to work well, not just sell you the most expensive equipment. Thanks RES.”

– Jonathan Waitsfeld

“I had bought a used solar off grid system from a neighbor but it wasn’t complete. I informed them what I had and they told me what I would need to make it work and gave me more than one option. I was only sold what I needed and the price was right. It didn’t end there. Once I had everything hooked up, they helped me fine tune the system for the best performance. Any issues I had were resolved very quickly. I’m a very happy customer who will continue to do business with RES for many years to come. Thank you!”

– Robert Stockdale
