SunPower by Alternative Energy Systems, a North Valley-based solar installer and servicer, has received the SunPower “Residential Regional Dealer of the Year” award for its outstanding performance as a SunPower dealer in 2017.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized by SunPower with the ‘2017 Residential Regional Dealer of the year’ award,” said Tim Hamor, Co-owner of SunPower by Alternative Energy Systems. “We feel validated in our approach to sales and installation which we designed to ensure customer satisfaction.”

“This recognition speaks to our nationally-leading service team and our amazing staff who’ve worked to bring SunPower, one of the world’s most innovative and sustainable energy companies, to the residents of the North Valley,” said Lance McClung, Co-owner of SunPower by Alternative Energy Systems.

The “Residential Regional Dealer of the Year” award honors SunPower residential dealers in select regions of the United States that consistently put customers first, while demonstrating exceptional industry knowledge and leadership.

“SunPower’s reputable national dealer network is strengthened by local solar companies like SunPower by Alternative Energy Systems, selected for their quality craftsmanship, industry expertise and customer service,” said Martin DeBono, SunPower executive vice president, residential solar. “We congratulate SunPower by Alternative Energy Systems for an extraordinary performance in 2017 as a residential dealer, delivering the value of SunPower solar to homeowners in their community.”

In 2017, SunPower by Alternative Energy Systems expanded their service department to accommodate solar customers who originally purchased systems by other companies, furthering their ties to the local alternative energy community. Notably, after the devastating fires in Butte County this last fall, they assisted affected system owners, some of whom were not current customers, to get back on their feet by assessing damage and making essential repairs to their solar systems.
