Since 2003, Renovus Energy has designed and installed literally hundreds of renewable energy projects throughout New York and Pennsylvania. Solar electric (PV) accounts for about 2/3 of our work and most of those projects are for residential customers. Residential solar thermal systems comprise another 1/4 of our projects, with small wind and microhydro systems making up the balance.

We are a small company which has never employed more than 10 full-time individuals. Small means manageable and flexible and dynamic. Fast growth is not a company paradigm. While we expect to grow as the market for renewable energy expands, we will do so thoughtfully and organically. Small is beautiful - and we're likely to keep it that way. Our system designers are really smart. We have unusually strong capabilities in complex off-grid and hybrid system design. Our installation crews are smart and experienced. We rarely subcontract any aspect of a project - preferring instead the quality control which comes from keeping projects in-house.Renovus is a well-recognized name in Ithaca and throughout our region. We have been doing our work - which is exclusively renewable energy - for much longer than most apparently similar companies have been in existence. We are definitely not a large company with new "renewable energy division" - we've always been doing renewables - it is not merely a new "profit center" for us. We do our work based on our principles and we do not compromise Quality for profit - rather, we simply expect to make a modest profit on the strength of our collective experience and skill. Businesses - especially small ones - which lose money do not survive. We strongly believe that our experience and accumulated know-how makes a huge difference in the reliability of our systems and, most importantly, in the confidence of our clients. We've been around for a while, we're here now, and we'll be here for the foreseeable future.

Our company has installed small commercial PV systems up to 31kW in size and we now have several larger projects - some much larger - in our design queue. That said, we wish to emphasize that acquiring ever larger projects (and profit margins) is not our goal. Again, we are a community-oriented business interested in bringing the tremendous advantages of renewable energy to our region. This means that Renovus will continue to focus our energies and talents on serving local individuals, businesses, and institutions.
