Altadena Energy & Solar works with homeowners on solar water heating, solar electric systems, and lighting projects which save the homeowners money and decrease the environmental impact of the home. AES focuses its efforts on delivering maximum financial and technical value and propose projects based on your priorities. We do not offer cookie cutter solutions; instead, we work to understand your needs for your home and how to add value in your instance.
Solar Thermal Systems
The Altadena Energy team can design and build solar hot water systems that will heat your domestic water, and can include space heating and pool heating for a total residential thermal solution. Combination solar hot water and heating systems have become very common in Europe and we are prepared to bring our expertise in this area to the southern California market. In some cases, these systems can deliver as much savings as taking 1-2 cars off the road by saving 1-3 GGE per day (savings of 1-3 gallons of gasoline energy equivalent). Our systems use top quality components from Heliodyne, Sunearth, and our system company RSF Solar.
Solar Electric Systems
Solar electric systems from Altadena Energy can provide up to your entire electricity consumption from the sun. We design and build solar electric systems to meet your energy & siting requirements while working within your budget. We use top brands including SMA inverter technology, and modules from BP, Mitsubishi, Suntech, and Canadian Solar. We can provide standard grid-tie systems, grid-tie with backup power, or complete off-grid solutions.
Efficient LED Lighting and Controls
Altadena Energy provides energy efficient lighting and controls to its residential clients. Residential efficiency is the cornerstone of both reducing your carbon footprint as well as making your home a sound financial investment through reducing your utility expenses. Through focusing on lighting efficiency, AES can reduce your electricity consumption through lighting upgrades before starting on a solar electric system. This approach saves you money, and is part of our dedication to your financial success.
We understand that lighting aesthetics matter and work with you to make sure that our lighting systems are efficient, long lasting, and beautiful.
Financial – Understanding Your Investment
Energy efficiency and solar can be excellent financial investments and offer good results as alternatives to stocks, bonds, and insurance products. We can model the performance of your solar investments and can compare them to your traditional investments in terms of payback years, return on investment, effect on resale value, the effect of rebates, tax credits, and other effects. For many homeowners, the financial performance of their solar investments can exceed the return from traditional investments over the long term.
