PV Pole Mt. w/Battery

“We continue to be thoroughly impressed with the PV system that Alteris™ Renewables installed for our residence. The competent and well versed staff helped us determine our energy needs and then proceeded to design/build a system perfectly suited for our site. They always responded to our questions in a thoughtful manner. Now, not only do we produce considerable energy on-site, but we also have battery back-up to help us keep a critical load running in the case of a power outage.”

Elizabeth & Cecil Cadwell, Homeowners

Alteris Renewables responded to the Cadwells’ desire to reduce their energy use through installing solar energy. A 2.64 kW pole mounted solar system was installed at their rural home in Vermont. Alteris™ Renewables also addressed the Cadwells’ concern about power outages by including a battery back-up system as part of their installation. The Cadwells will reduce their CO2 emissions by 85,244 lbs over the life of their system.
