Built to Last - IPS Engineering
Independent Power Systems engineers design your system in house from start to finish, our boss is a Professional Engineer and has instilled the importance of good engineering into every part of the company. We truly believe that to see the full benefit of solar energy our systems must be designed to last 30 years or longer. After all the first PV cells manufactured 50 years ago are still operating at 80% of their rated capacity. Using advanced computer modeling and occasionally a slide rule, IPS engineers design the optimal system for your specific situation. In addition to designing a system that enhances the curb appeal of your home, IPS engineers strive to deliver maximum power density and durability that outlasts the warranty. In addition to being a free and permanent source of energy, the solar panels that harvest this abundant energy have no moving parts and require no maintenance.
