Providing Sustainable Solutions for Independent Energy Production
Engineered Power for Demanding Environments

Reliable Power Generation Provider in Colorado, N. NM & S. WY

Storm clouds roll over the plains. Utility lines go down. Remote ranches, telecom sites, and mountain homes still need a steady power supply. Alternative Power Solutions is a trusted power generation provider in Colorado, delivering reliable, independent energy systems built for the rugged Mountains and Plains of Colorado, N. Central New Mexico, S. Central Wyoming, and beyond.
As an experienced boutique power generation provider, we focus on design, build, and maintenance of off-grid and backup power systems. We are not a production-based, rooftop-oriented grid-tied solar company. We specialize in complete power generation solutions that include solar electric (PV), battery storage (BESS), power electronics, fuel-based generators (LP, NG, diesel), and, in certain applications, wind- and water-based generators.

Independent Power Solutions for Homes and Businesses

Electricity is the central nervous system of which we Live. With it, we live in profound comfort. Without it, we struggle to Live! ~ RAB, APS Founder. As your local power generation provider, we help you take control of where your electricity is generated. Whether you want a fully off-grid power plant for a remote Ranch Property, Telecom Site or Cabin, or simply a dependable standby solution during outages, we build systems that match your needs.
