Advance Solar, Hydro, Wind Power is a private, family-owned company that has designed and installed energy systems since 1978. We run our own buildings on our own power and build the batteries we install.
Solar is strongest in summer. Hydro runs day and night on winter storms. Switch each source on and off to see how they fill each other's gaps.
Illustrative seasonal pattern, not production data. Actual output depends on your site, water flow and wind.
Our own API LiFePO4 systems: a 5 kW, 120 VAC inverter with 5.12 kWh Li modules, stackable to 30.72 kWh. Plug it in and it stays charged, then powers your loads during an outage, or every day.
Whole house, building, residential, commercial and industrial primary power systems. Our goal is energy independence, not just backup power.
Primary power systems for homes, businesses and villages, designed around how you actually use energy.
We install our own tested API systems. Available through our Redwood Valley, Redding and Stockton locations.
Ongoing service for the systems we design and install, from people who run the same technology every day.
A vacuum tube array, a 400 gallon heat exchanger tank and efficient boilers cut our own natural gas bill by close to 80%.
SolarOur roof coating keeps the building and our solar modules cooler, so we are comfortable at 110 degrees without air conditioning.
SolarOur vertical axis wind turbines hold many world patents. They are self vaning with controlled braking, and run from Mongolia to Alaska and Europe.
WindCost effective, with rapid return on investment where water has velocity and moderate to high flow. Winter power when the sun is weakest.
HydroOur founders have lived without conventional power since the early 1970s.
Our warehouse and offices have PG&E service, but we use it only as backup. We produce our power from large roof mounted arrays, so the primary system supplies every load, all the time.
When utilities shut off power, we open our doors so neighbors can charge laptops and phones, because we have more than enough power to run our business.
