About us
NuTech Alternative Energy installs the most complete solar powered systems available. With the combination of photo-voltaic panels and evacuated tube thermal collectors we are able to save you thousands on your gas and electric bills. By combining both of these solar technologies, we can heat and cool your home or business, heat your domestic hot water, heat your pool and spa, and provide power for your large appliances and everyday electric needs.
In order to make sure you are getting the most for your money, we inspect for energy efficiency upgrades and/or fixes that can be performed to minimize the size of the system you require. We are here to make your home or business as efficient as possible in all areas and then build a solar powered system to maintain it.
Our photo-voltaic electric system feeds power into your house and banks overproduction with your utility provider. Our thermal system runs automatically, switching from generating domestic hot water, spa heating, space heating, and pool heating from the same high output UV driven collector array. You can’t get much more complete than that! Just sit back, enjoy and save.
WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING SYSTEMS:
SOLAR ELECTRIC
Put the money you are giving to your electric company into your own hands with a solar electric system. Why pay your utility company when you can generate your own electricity? NuTech installs systems using high efficiency industry leading products to bring you the best cost per watt return. Our systems come STANDARD with POWER OPTIMIZER TECHNOLOGY that lets each panel perform independently at maximum output to give you the best performance possible.
Our goal is to first reduce your energy consumption in any way possible and then build a solar electric system specific to your home’s needs. We take care of every step of the process including design, system sizing, permitting, financing paperwork (if needed), top quality installation, and N.E.M. (Net Energy Metering) with your electrical... show more provider.
EVACUATED TUBE SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTORS
With our solar thermal collectors we are able to produce hot water even on very cold and semi-cloudy days because they are heated by UV Rays rather than direct sunlight. We see collector temperatures as high as 115 degrees on dark rainy days, still bringing tank temperatures up enough to preheat your water in the tank so your backup heater hardly runs. We use these tubes to produce a surplus of hot water and then use that water to heat your house, your floors, pool, spa and domestic hot water for showers, dishes, etc) and for business owners any type of hot water needed can be heated this way. This can save you thousands in propane, natural gas and/or electricity. Can you imagine the surplus created in the summertime?
Below is an outline of the many things our Solar Thermal Collectors can do to save you money:
SOLAR THERMAL DOMESTIC HOT WATER
Solar domestic hot water is generally step one of any solar thermal system. A tank full of hot water is the start to all of the other options available using solar thermal technology. Below is a diagram explaining how this technology works.
SOLAR THERMAL POOL HEATING
Our pool heating systems are one-of-a-kind in this area. The unglazed collectors typically seen on rooftops throughout Northern California have pool water actually circulating on your roof, yikes! Our systems use a much smaller space with evacuated tube collectors that produce much higher temperatures year ‘round. They circulate bio-glycol to a heat exchanger at your equipment location. With this type of system there is no pool water on your roof that could freeze and leak causing damage and costly repairs and maintenance.
SOLAR THERMAL SPA HEATING
Spa heating is a perfect match for a solar thermal system. It is a low temperature load, usually well insulated, that only periodically calls for heat to maintain a set temperature. Most spas use an electric heater that ranges from 4-7kw. That's like running 40-70 100 watt flood lights while heating, costing $45-125 per month or more to run. Our systems run perfectly with all manufacturer controls and fit nicely behind the pump access panel to maintain original appearance and control function. We pair our spa systems with domestic hot water for temperature buffering providing our customers with both benefits using one system.
SOLAR THERMAL SPACE HEATING
NuTech Alternative Energy can convert your existing forced air heating system into a solar thermal driven hybrid by simply adding a heat exchanger to your furnace’s plenum. With the introduction of evacuated heat pipe collectors and their ability to produce high temperatures in cold winter months, we are able to get much higher solar fractions to the heating systems. This system is completely automated. When your thermostat calls for heat, the primary system turns on a pump which circulates solar hot water through the heat exchanger in your furnace, heating your house with the power of the sun. On dark, cloudy days, if the solar storage tank drops below heating temperatures, the pump is shut off and the furnace is allowed to run in normal mode.
YES, YOU CAN AFFORD IT!
Solar IS affordable. Most people are thrilled to put their money into a savings account that gains at a rate of 3% interest, if you put your money into solar your gain is at about 19%, now that’s a sound investment!
Many of our systems have a 3-7 year return on investment. That means after 3-7 years your system has completely paid for itself. At that point, all of the energy your system harvests from the sun is money in your pocket! You also receive a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of your system, nothing wrong with that!

Adam C. asked:Hi all - looking for recommendations for good local contractors to provide residential remodeling services to increase energy efficiency (windows, insulation, possible wrap/siding, possible roof, possible solar) through MPower program. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!Charity M. replied:I work for NuSolar Technologies. www.nusolartechnologies.com or / https://www.facebook.com/nusolartechnologies?fref=ts... I wish I would have seen this last night but I was out of cell service. Anyway...it looks like you have a lot of recommenda tions...which is really good because you should always get at least 3 bids. We are a solar company and general B licensed contractor. The owner of the company was a custom home builder prior to getting in to solar. Since we are solar and general B we can do any work (and have done for several of our clients...can give references) on your home to make it more energy efficient. It is our creed to do everything we can to make the house more energy efficient before we put the solar on so you're not just putting a Band aid on your energy usage but rather stopping the bleed and then adding the solar to save even more on your already reduced PGE bill. We would love to come out and take a look at your wants/needs, electricity usage and if you are on propane...propane usage too...we are creative, smart and a great, honest and ethical company. We also handle all of the paperwork and are very familiar and knowledgeable with mPower. In addition, if you go solar we handle the setting up of your Net Energy Metering account with PGE when it is all said and done. And thank you Emilie LaShell Horner for tagging me in this post! Adam...my email address is Charity@NuSolarTechnologies.com if you would like to get a hold of me. or 530.906.8396 Good luck! A lot of the recommendations above are for GREAT companies.
