Alternative Power Services

Basic backup generators typically range $7,000-$15,000 installed. Grid-tied solar systems average $15,000-$30,000 for standard homes. Battery backup systems add $10,000-$20,000 depending on capacity. Complete off-grid systems for standard homes typically range $35,000-$75,000. Current federal tax credits cover 30% of solar and battery costs, with additional incentives available through local utilities, substantially reducing net investment. We provide detailed cost-benefit analysis for all recommendations.

 Professionally installed alternative power systems typically increase Colorado property values by 3-5% while providing significant marketing advantage when selling. Solar installations currently return 85-95% of investment through increased property value alone, not including energy savings or tax benefits. Properties with professionally installed generators command $5,000-$8,000 premiums on average, with higher values in areas prone to outages or for homes with well pumps dependent on electricity.

Modern solar panels carry 25-30 year production warranties with minimal maintenance requirements. Quality generators typically provide 20+ years of service with proper maintenance. Battery systems offer 10-15 year performance depending on chemistry and usage patterns. Our professional designs implement redundancy and integration ensuring continuous power even when individual components require service. With proper implementation, today's alternative power systems provide reliability comparable to or exceeding conventional utility service.
