For over 17 years, Alternative Power Solutions (APS) has proudly helped New Yorkers take control of their energy needs. What started as a vision to bring smarter, cleaner energy to homes and businesses has grown into a trusted, full-service solar and geothermal energy company known for integrity, expertise, and results.
At the helm is CEO Owen Pugh, whose deep commitment to renewable energy and customer satisfaction has shaped every step of our journey. Under his leadership, APS has designed and installed hundreds of alternative power systems—from residential solar arrays to complex geothermal heating and cooling solutions for commercial buildings.
Why Experience Matters
When it comes to investing in your energy future, experience isn’t just a bonus—it’s essential. After nearly two decades in the field, we’ve learned that no two properties are the same and no two energy goals are identical. Our team has encountered every kind of roofline, terrain, and utility challenge, and we’ve built the knowledge to overcome them all with efficiency and confidence.
Whether we’re navigating building codes, local regulations, or incentive programs, our years of hands-on experience mean we get the job done right the first time. Our clients trust us to deliver not just systems, but peace of mind.
Certifications That Set Us Apart
We’re proud to be a NYSERDA Quality Solar Installer and a NABCEP Certified company. These designations aren’t just badges—they reflect our commitment to best practices, safety, and top-tier workmanship in every project we complete.
- NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority): As a partner in their Clean Energy initiatives, we help homeowners and businesses take advantage of state incentives while ensuring their systems meet high performance standards.
- NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners): This is the gold standard for renewable energy professionals. Our NABCEP certification means our installers are not only trained but rigorously tested in solar best practices.
The Future Looks Bright
At APS, we believe in the power of renewable energy to build a better, more resilient future. Whether you’re looking to lower your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, or move toward energy independence, we’re here to help every step of the way.
Seventeen years in, and we’re just getting started.
