Renewable Energy Technologies
Adding a solar energy system to your business is an easy way to take advantage of solar incentives, invest in your building's value and protect the environment by using clean, renewable energy. Pfister Energy, a leading commercial solar installer, can design, install and maintain the solar energy system best suited for your facility and budget. We offer hard panel roof mounts, solar-integrated roofing systems (thin-film solar laminates), as well as wall-mount and ground-mount systems. Learn more >
Commercial, industrial, municipal and institutional properties paying high rates for electricity could benefit from an on-site, low-cost alternative renewable energy source that requires zero capital investment. The newest generation of wind turbines is a stand-alone distributed generation power system that generates and distributes renewable energy on-site at fixed, long-term rates. Learn more >
Daylighting uses a combination of direct, diffuse and reflected sunlight in conjunction with specialized skylights to illuminate interior buildings with clear, natural light at a fraction of the cost of even the most efficient electric lights. Daylighting is not just an energy-efficiency decision -- people thrive in naturally lit environments. By switching from fluorescent lighting to natural light, shoppers linger longer and buy more, students do better on tests and worker absenteeism is reduced. Learn more >
Solar LED Pathway Lighting provides targeted white lighting for pathways, neighborhoods and parking lots without the need for expensive trenching, wiring and monthly electrical expenses. With solar exterior fixtures, your costs for safe, adjustable lighting designed for dark parking lots and walkways can be reduced by up to 30 percent. Learn more >
A better building envelope will help make your building a safe, durable, comfortable and energy efficient place to work. Your building envelope is everything that separates the interior of your facility from the outdoors, including the windows, walls, foundation, ceiling, roof and insulation. Pfister Energy inspects your complete building envelope to determine areas of inefficiency and corrective measures. This inspection includes infrared scanning (heat loss), as well as visual and structural inspection. Learn more >
Commercial or industrial solar thermal systems are most cost effective in facilities with water heating systems that are expensive to operate or in operations such as laundries or kitchens that require large quantities of hot water. A solar thermal system can meet most of a facilities hot water needs and significantly reduce water heating bills. Learn more >
Integrated PV-thermal systems combine two technologies, solar thermal (heating water using the power of the sun) and solar electric (creating electricity using the sun), into an integrated roof or wall system that maximize energy production (heating, cooling and power) on a per-square-foot basis.

Fuel cells are electrochemical power generators with exceptionally high electrical efficiencies that produce both electricity and heat without combustion and the pollutants associated with burning conventional fuels. Fuel cell systems are an efficient, clean and quiet means of generating energy using natural gas or renewable sources. Learn more >
Rainwater harvesting systems serve as an alternative decentralized water source that are especially effective in an age when groundwater supplies are depleting and municipal water infrastructures are facing high replacement costs. Learn more >
Green roofs provide many ecological and aesthetic benefits, including controlling storm water runoff, erosion and pollution, improving water quality, more than doubling the service life of the roof, conserving energy and improving the aesthetic environment in both work and home settings.

A geothermal heat pump system consists of indoor heat pump equipment, a ground loop and a flow center to connect the indoor and outdoor equipment. The heat pump equipment works like a reversible refrigerator by removing heat from one location and depositing it in another location. The ground loop, which is invisible after installation, allows the exchange of heat between the earth and the heat pump. Learn more >
