R.E.S. provided me with a reliable solar system that has given me the confidence that I can generate enough power to be self-reliant on my off-grid property for years to come. Having installed the system myself, I recently had an issue that I couldn’t figure out on my own. Eddie, up in Fairbanks, walked me through the inverter menu and patiently helped me trouble shoot the possible issues. After patiently going through the process, he helped me to identify the problem and now the system is up and running without issue. To not have to burn gasoline in my generator all the time is going to save me a good deal of money. Thanks for everything Eddie and everyone over at R.E.S.

I have found RES easy to work with and very freindly. The only thing I now wish I had done is ask for what other options existed for batteries and other set ups (off grid vs on grid). I may have still chosen my current option, but it would have given me greater perspective on what was available.My panels are not on yet, but that would be the last piece to be put in place to see how well the panels work and the amount of energy they can create.Batteries appear to work great when we simulated an outage.

Initially after a bit of I rocky start, the owner responded to my review and had me contact the GM of RES. Long story short, I took my Intech trailer to the Wasilla location this week and the technician, Jim, did a very nice and professional job on the installation of a solar panel, DC to DC charger, and charge controller. This job was somewhat out of the ordinary because of a fiberglass roof on the trailer. However, Jim was able to mount the panel securely despite the challenging roof construction. I am very pleased with the care taken, and attention to detail to ensure that the job was done correctly. On the inside of the trailer, the wiring and mounting of the Victron devices were clean, neat, and well thought out. He was also very thorough walking me through the setup of the DC to DC and Charge Controller on my phone app. Very pleased with the entire experience at the Wasilla RES location.

It is not often that I get the chance of writing a positive review for exceptional service. From the start of our conversations with Jarrod in Fairbanks to the install with Jim at Wasilla, the experience was fantastic. Jarrod and Jim are extremely knowledgeable on the correct components needed for our RV. Melissa the Wasilla manager was also very helpful and concerned that we received the best attention. I rate them 5 out of 5!!Tim and Ann

Recently I discovered that my newly purchased fifth wheel travel trailer was seriously underpowered for my Alaska boon docking needs. I got ahold of Renewable Energy Systems in Wasilla and they were able to help design a system that met all my needs. The work was done quickly, professionally and ahead of schedule. They did a great job integrating my solar panels and batteries and took the time to explain to me how it all worked. I could not be any happier and if you are thinking about upgrading your trailers electrical system I could not recommend them any higher

Renewable Energy Systems were very knowledgeable about upgrading to solar for my cabover camper. They had all the parts in stock and got me right in. Jim did a very good job on the installation and was great to work with.

Kudos to Jim at the Matsu shop for a great job upgrading our motorhome house battery system. He maxed out our amp-hour capacity with high quality Rolls batteries in a very tight fit. Great outfit, they also last year installed 18 solar panels on our house and an automatic household battery backup/inverter system.

Our Schneider Conext decided on irs item to retire... worked with RES to try and revive it, but it thought otherwise. They had the new version in stock, loaded the current firmware for me, and I was back in working order within an hour of getting home.Fred is knowledgeable and helpful!- Were very satisfied customers!

Highly recommended!We had an excellent experience with RES! We went to them to get a solar power upgrade for our camper. They took the time to listen to what we wanted and then figured out the best way to get us there. They suggested some things we hadn’t thought of to improve our camping experience.They were never pushy and we appreciated their ideas.The folks at RES clearly take pride in their work. Our upgraded system looks great! The installation quality is top-notch. Everything is well-organized and tidy.Bottom line: We are very pleased and would definitely do business with them again.

Im thrilled to leave a 5-star review for the energy solar system I purchased! The exceptional customer service truly stood out – even though we were working from a distance, they provided all the necessary details, created an accurate quote, and ensured my order was ready for pick-up. The step-by-step guidance they offered to get everything up and running was invaluable. Kudos to the team for their professionalism and dedication! Thanks especially to Fred!

We went to Fred at renewable energy for a combo inverter/charger for our 5th wheel. Fred talked us through the best options for what we wanted and Jim did an outstanding job with the install. They had all the parts in stock and and were quick to get us scheduled and up and running so no down time on our short camping season. Great customer service and would highly recommend.

Great local service that helped me with the supplies to wire my new solar panel. Kevin was extremely helpful.

I am so thankful to the staff at RES in Wasilla. They take the time to go over the products and options for installation making it super confident for a DIYer to get the job done right. And...they also do professional installs for those times when DIY isnt the best option. They have a wide variety of products in stock and the little bits and pieces needed to connect it all together.

Kevin and his crew were a great help and went the extra mile to make sure my needs were met. They took the time to analyze my issue and worked me through what was best for my electrical needs. Thank you guys.

I had the Renewable Energy Systems team install a solar system kit in my truck camper. Their professionalism, knowledge and ability to install all my parts in such a small space was incredible. If you’re looking for any type of solar application please give them call, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks team Renewable Energy Systems!

Working with Fred in the Wasilla office was a wonderful experience. He took time to explain the entire process and communication with all the RES staff was always positive. The young men who came out for all the installs (panels, electric, and back up power panel) were so professional and diligent. You cant go wrong working with RES for your renewable energy needs.

Review 17 (2023-07-27 - Rating: 5)
GREAT customer service! Jim and Fred were extremely helpful with explaining everything from start to finish and let me know that if I ever had questions to just give them a call. They truly want to make sure you are comfortable with everything to do with our new system.

Renewable energy provided spectacular customer service! Our team was in urgent need of a new solar setup for a remote weather station and Renewable Energy Systems set us up in less than an hour with four new batteries, a new panel and charge controller all at a very fair price. To top it all off, they were willing to deliver the goods to a local airport before noon the same day! Melissa and Rj were a huge help and we couldnt have gotten the weather station fixed so quickly without them.THANKS!

The crew came out and moved the solar panels from the deck railing to the new deck roof.

Review 20 (2024-01-25 - Rating: 5)
Just called to ask if they had a simple electric power station. The fella I talked to was unsure of what I was after. But after a few moments one of the owners contacted me and answered the questions I had and even answered questions I didnt know I had. He was eager to help and very knowledgeable. I look forward to working with the company for many future endeavors.

Fred at RES was super responsive. I requested quotes from four places. Fred responded the same day with a quote; the only other quote I received came a week later and was 50% higher in price. The service throughout my experience was great. I always knew what to expect regarding the timeline of installation. Choosing RES was a no-brainer.

Fred took time out of his busy schedule to help troubleshoot my system in my RV. He quickly discovered the issue and came up with a solution to get me back on line in no time.

Review 23 (2022-06-18 - Rating: 5)
Fred and crew at RES did a very nice install of our solar system into our 32 motorhome. They finished it on time and thought outside the box to utilize all of the battery box space with 2, 6 volt batteries.

We live in Naples Fl and have been RVing six month a year for the past 11 years and have driven over 160,000 miles. The reason for the intro is to qualify us as experienced RVers.In today’s new world it is difficult to find competent., affordable service. We have a new Vanleigh Vilano that we wanted to upgrade to solar. We called a number of RV repair shops on our trip to Alaska. Some had openings six to eight weeks out and others wouldn’t even return our calls. While on the Alaskan Highway we called Renewable Energy Systeums. Fred Groendyke of their Wasilla store took the time to figure out what we needed and scheduled us in so that our trip would be minimally interrupted.Jim Rush, their installer is a very personal knowledgeable guy who goes out of his way to assure that we understood what he was doing. They consulted with Tiffin, the RV manufacture and the manufacture of the inverter to assure us that what was installed would be compatible with our rig and meet all required safety regulations.The end results were amazing. Our first night out without shore power went flawless. Even in the twilight of an Alaskan summer evening the new lithium batteries with two solar panels were able to keep up with our power usage. So glad that we didn’t go the generator route. While the cost for solar verses a generator are comparable the big difference is weight, maintenance cost, fuel and restrictions on generator use in some campgrounds.Almost forgot to mention that as a part of the Congressional, Inflation Reduction Act you are eligible for a 30% Solar Tax Credit. Also ask about their Veterns discount which I appreciated.Thanks Fred and Jim for a very positive experience.

They have had all parts that I have needed or have gotten the parts I needed in an expedited fashion. I have tried other palaces and have always came back to res. They have always been able to answer any and all questions whether in the phone or in person. They even set up a demo unit to walk you through step-by-step. I have had contact with Adrian in anchorage and Fred in wasilla. I would strongly recommend to at least stop and talk to them before you buy any place else.

EXTREMELY HAPPY with the service and support provided by Eddie, Karl and the team. Up from Florida, we were experiencing issues with our RV solar system. We reached out to the RES Anchorage office.

Experience counts! RES Alaska actually designed a better option for me than I had conceived. The savings allowed me to add solar panels to another building as well. A small backup battery system was also added.

I got my solar panels and batteries from RES in Anchorage. Carl and staff were super-knowledgeable and helpful from the very beginning stages.Because I live in the Mat-Su Valley, Fred with RES in Palmer was later willing to come out and inspect the system after it was installed by my builder and provide me with comprehensive hands-on instruction for a very reasonable fee!I really recommend RES for all of your alternative energy needs! Thank you so much!!!!! ☀️☀️☀️

We need to support good businesses like this one.

Thank you to Fred and the team in Wasilla for all their assistance. We couldn’t be more please with the service we received. The Schneider Conext SW was the perfect solar/grid solution for our backup power needs and the knowledgeable staff provided us with everything we needed, including pre-cut wiring, drawings, and diagrams to get the system installed and operating.
