Electrical Energy
Technological advancements in electrical systems are designed to be more efficient, easier to control, and geared toward Smart Device technology. From LED lighting to electric vehicle charging stations, upgrading your home or commercial property is the best way to mitigate increased energy needs.
LED lighting is replacing traditional lighting technology for both interior and exterior applications. Benefits of LED lighting include energy efficiency, reduced operating and maintenance costs and improved lighting quality.
Lighting controls bring innovative design and next-generation features to residential and commercial applications. Choose from distributed controls, daylighting controls, wireless controls, dimmers, fan speed controls, occupancy/vacancy sensors, relay panels, timer switches and more.
For both residential and commercial roofs, we deal with the buildup of snow and the dreaded “ice dams” that can form from variations of temperature in the roof structure. Edges and eaves that are generally colder will re-freeze and form a dam that melting snow can’t escape. This often causes damage to eaves, gutters and in extreme cases, the structure itself. Heat tape helps provide a path for snowmelt to drain off your roof rather than pooling behind the dam.
Alpenglow Energy works on all levels of projects from existing homes, remodels, new construction, and commercial structures.
Solar Energy
At Alpenglow Energy we harness sunlight into renewable energy resulting in a reduced carbon footprint, substantial savings in energy bills, and increased property values for both commercial and residential real estate.
On-grid systems send excess power generated to the utility grid when you are overproducing. Pros: These are the most cost-effective and simplest systems to install. Cons: Does not provide power during a grid outage.
Off-grid systems allow you to store and save your solar power in batteries for use when the power grid goes down. Pros: Off-grid is meant to be entirely self-sustaining. Cons: It cannot cater to the power demand of all your loads since the cost and volume of batteries would be prohibitive. Such systems require a lot more specialized equipment to function.
Both on-grid and off-grid are available for both residential and commercial use. Alpenglow Energy professionals can help you determine the best system for your situation.
Substantial Savings: Your solar power system will pay for itself more quickly than you think. Between monthly energy savings, Federal and State incentives and tax benefits, and the increased value of your property, you’ll wish you’d gone solar sooner!
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Carbon and other greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions have increased dramatically in the last few decades, and so has the threat of climate change. GHG emissions in the United States come from a variety of different economic sectors, with the most prominent being electrical power (U.S. Department of Energy) .

Solar energy is a renewable, carbon-free resource with enormous potential to reduce GHG emissions. Both commercial and residential buildings spend most of the energy consumed on space heating, water heating, and space cooling. Solar heating and cooling systems (SHC) are the perfect technology for space and water heating needs. In addition, solar air conditioning can be used as a clean, emissions-free solution to meet cooling needs.

Right now, there are 27 state incentives, policies, and programs available in Utah (Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency®). Something else to think about is that solar prices are predictable while electric rates are not.
A recent study by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley Lab found that solar energy implementation increases a home value by up to 4%. There are many different factors that go into the overall financial return on a property, but multiple studies have shown that solar power capabilities increase the value of a property.
For commercial and industrial sites, any market or policy proposal to address climate change should include significant development of solar and other clean energy technologies to power a clean, affordable economic future.
Home Backup Systems
Homeowners are learning what commercial property owners have known for years: the importance of having reliable back-up power in case of emergency. Alpenglow Energy experts install batteries and generators that feed automatically to your home’s electrical panel via a power management system. You can monitor the system from anywhere in the world.
If power outages are regular events where you live, you may want to consider installing a set of backup batteries to supply you with electricity when you are off the grid. An important consideration is how the battery storage system handles swings in temperature. Many batteries don’t perform well in extreme heat or cold.
Consider a solar panel system to connect to your energy storage system. Solar batteries, also known as solar PV (photovoltaic) systems, charge your home battery system with renewable energy, giving you a regular supply of solar energy from your solar batteries.
Alpenglow Energy will review your needs and make the necessary calculations. You want your home battery storage system to be adequate for your needs.
A standby generator automatically switches on to provides electricity during a power failure. These failsafe systems are invaluable for hospitals, airports, financial institutions, oil and gas industry, food manufacturing and agriculture, government and military.
More and more homeowners are turning to standby generators for permanent power protection. A home standby generator can run for extended periods using natural gas or liquid propane (LP) as a fuel supply. In a power outage, a permanently installed standby generator returns your home or business to power within seconds, even when you’re away, since it’s hard-wired into the electrical system.
Alpenglow Energy can help you determine the type of home generator to choose based on your desired power coverage:
