After 17 years of owning an automotive repair shop Jon Dixon needed a new challenge and had a growing interest in Renewable Energy. With the encouragement of his partner Holly, the business was launched. Dixon Power Systems began as a part-time business in the spring of 1999 and expanded to full time in January of 2005.

There was a surge in interest for renewable energy in the '70's and 80's due to state and federal rebates. But the movement didn't survive when the rebates ended. Twenty-five years later the interest has resurfaced. So we opened a store-front where people could learn about and purchase systems to create their own electricity. Our customers get involved in solar and wind generation projects because they are too far from utility power, they like the idea of some independence, backup power or they have an interest in the environment and wish to support the movement toward being less dependent on oil. Remember, energy independence starts with you!
