Alternative Power Enterprises
www.alternative-power.com
Small solar company that designs and installs solar electric and solar thermal installations on homes and commercial buildings. I have helped in the office, designing systems, working with potential clients, performing energy audits, creating estimates, following up with clients, ordering materials, and some install help. It has been a great experience to explore the intricacies of the solar systems and how they work on existing homes and how to work with Architects and designers on their in progress designs to incorporate solar successfully. Everytime plans came in I would find myself very interested in the overall design and knew the solar company has been a great learning ground, but ultimately too narrow focused for my passions to incorporate the built environment with natural systems.
