Why Buy From Us

We know it, live it, love it and we want to help you do the same.

When you call to talk to one of our technical sales representatives, you are talking to someone who really knows their stuff. That's no accident. Our reps spend an average of over a month each year in training, installing, teaching and experimenting with renewable energy gear. We're quite sure that's more than any other distributor in our industry. By knowing more we can better help you safely design, buy and install a system you can be proud of. So when you call and talk with one of us and think "wow, this guy/gal is uncommonly friendly", know that they are also uncommonly knowledgeable too!

Unlike other solar companies you'll find on the web, renewable energy gear and systems aren't just widgets to sell fast and cheap on the 'net for us. For all of us here at altE, it matters very much that we help and support you in the safe design, purchase, installation and troubleshooting of your solar or wind power system. We know that choosing renewable energy is choosing a lifestyle, a life-long statement about living responsibly. And we want to be the renewable energy experts that you choose for a life-time of renewable energy components and support - whether it's to quote a starter solar grid-tie system or to upgrade that solar charge controller that finally kicked the bucket after a few decades.
