Residential
New Home Construction If you are planning to build a new home, we highly recommend that you and your builder/architect consult with our engineers. From passive solar heating, to correct roof orientation for mounting solar or thermal panels, to integrated PV roofing materials and vertical axis wind turbines, simple design changes and labor saving techniques can significantly reduce the cost of integrating renewable energy during the construction phase, thereby significantly reducing installed costs and subsequent heating and electricity costs. We can also help you optimize the use electrical energy by selecting the most efficient, economical appliances, and in doing so, save enough in construction, and heating costs to partially pay for the renewable energy system. This is particularly true for off-grid systems. Please CONTACT US for free initial consultation while in the planning stages of your new home. Additional consultation is available at a competitive rate and consultation fees can be credited toward the purchase of a renewable energy system.
Existing Construction If you already have an existing home, adding renewable energy systems will significantly enhance the value and security of your home, and reduce your monthly electric and heating bills. The cost of solar electricity continues to decline, and with existing state and federal incentives, is very competitive. Solar thermal systems will often pay for themselves in less than 5 years, even at today’s prices. Please CONTACT US for free initial consultation.
Commercial
RES-TEC can provide turn-key solutions for your business. Whether your needs are for a large or a small system, we can educate, design, install, and assist with maintainence of your project. Our commercial system engineers can analyze the engineering and economics of a proposed system, and provide the information needed to purchase the system. Business owners who own their buildings, commercial developers who want to increase their market differentiation, and business owners who need to control their energy costs all can benefit from converting to renewable energy. By using solar energy, owners can also take advantage of significant financial incentives and benefits, including state rebates for system cost and installation, federal income tax credits, five year annual depreciation rates plus accelerated depreciation on solar investment. Beyond the immediate important quantifiable benefits, building owners may also see other benefits, including qualifying for green building LEED credits, or other public recognition, for environmentally responsive projects, eased permitting processes through inclusion of environmental measures, Renewable Energy Credits and CO2 trading certificates, and stabilization of energy costs to a long-term fixed rate.

RES-TEC can provide complete solutions for your business or home. Whether your needs are for a large or small system, we can design, install, maintain and provide consulting services for your project. We have worked with large and small clients, many with demanding schedules and detailed performance criteria.
Solar Thermal Systems
Solar Domestic Hot Water If you are not heating your water for household or commercial use with a solar hot water system you are missing out on a great investment. Solar domestic hot water systems pay for themselves quickly and then start making you money. RES-TEC can design and install systems that will supply hot water, in-line with your existing hot water systems. RES-TEC uses tested designs and components that will perform well in our northern locale.
Solar Radiant Heating Add more solar collectors and some simple enhancements to your solar domestic hot water system and you have the ability to add a water-based heating system to your house that will provide the comfort of radiant floor heating while reducing or eliminating your fossil fuel bill. RES-TEC designs and installs systems that tie the technology of radiant water heating to tested designs for solar water heating, in-line with your existing system. The two technologies are a great fit, allowing the homeowner to burn far less fossil fuels while still enjoying all the comforts of a typical home.
Solar thermal systems are affordable and can start offsetting your winter heating bills immediately after installation. RES-TEC can put the energy of the sun to work for you. The following link provides more detailed information and typical system components and costs of RES-TEC Solar Thermal Hot Water and Heating Systems.
Solar Electric Systems
With ever rising fossil fuel costs, issues with nuclear power, and distribution problems with the electric grid, choosing to install a RES-TEC Electric Power System in your home or business gives you energy security and provides price stability for years to come, while offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, thereby reducing one of the primary causes of air and water pollution and climate change. Today's solar electric power systems are extremely reliable, and highly efficient with 5-10 year warranties on major electronic components, and an unprecedented 20-25 year warranty on solar electric modules. Two types of electricity generating renewable energy systems are available from RES-TEC: Grid-tied and Off-grid systems.
Grid-tied / Net Metering A Grid-Tied system from is RES-TEC is a simple, safe, and trouble-free source of power that reduces your electric bill, and can provide security and peace of mind from troubling grid failures, rolling blackouts and ever increasing electricity prices. Net Metering allows you to send your surplus energy back to the utility grid giving you a credit at full retail rates on your energy bills. You draw from the grid when your own sources are insufficient. Only the net shows up on your electric bill. Grid-Tied solar electric systems with battery back-up are similar to grid-tied systems, with the added advantage of continuing to produce power during grid outages. Due to the added equipment and complexity, these systems can be significantly more expensive. However, they do provide the comfort and security of continuing to produce and provide power during blackouts. Another benefit of installing a grid inter-tied solar electric power system includes relatively generous state incentives and federal credits. RES-TEC will secure or provide information on all available credits and incentives.
With a grid inter-tied renewable energy system from RES-TEC you can choose how much you want to install now and, with a properly designed system you can add to your system in the future. The following link has more detailed information and typical system components and costs of a RES-TEC Grid Inter-tied System.

Off-Grid Systems RES-TEC has years of experience providing power to remote, beyond the reach of power lines (off-grid). In most cases homes that are as little as 1000 feet away from existing power lines can be economically powered by an on-site renewable energy power system and the money saved by not installing a utility line will offset the cost of the system. After installation, there are no utility bills and no inconvenient and costly power outages. The key to the successful use of an off-grid solar power system starts with the use of highly efficient appliances, heating systems and lighting options that are compatible with renewable energy power systems. By choosing efficiency first, you will be able to live comfortably and save money by installing a smaller home power system. RES-TEC engineers can advise you on your energy efficient appliance, heating and lighting choices.
Whether for a weekend camp, a retirement dream home, or for a typical family home, each off grid system is custom designed to meet the needs of the client The following link provides more detailed information and typical system components and costs of a RES-TEC Off-Grid System.
