Power Guru: your local energy partner for a resilient future

Solar, Backup Batteries & EV Charging Solutions for Southern Vermont & New York

Whether you’re looking to future proof with rising energy costs in mind, utilize energy storage to keep your lights on when the grid goes off, or charge your electric vehicle at home, Power Guru of Bennington is ready to help.

Based in Bennington County since 2007, Power Guru serves residential and commercial customers in Southern Vermont and nearby New York. Power Guru stands out as a trusted, community-focused solar provider with a mission both global and personal.

Founded on Vision, Built for Impact

Power Guru was established in 2007 by the late Bhima Nitta, who saw solar energy as key in the fight against global climate change. Bhima believed real progress begins at the local level. Today, that mission lives on through the leadership of Alexander Mintz, the new owner and operator, who has over 15 years of industry experience. 

Alex and his ten-person team offer real-world solutions to today’s energy-related concerns, from solar systems to EV chargers to backup battery storage, Power Guru has the answer.

“We make solar approachable, accessible, and personalized,” says Mintz. “You don’t have to be an expert, we walk you through it.”

Easy, Transparent, Local

Going solar can seem overwhelming. Power Guru makes it easy. Their sales, design, and installation process is straightforward and personalized. Whatever question or unique situation you may have, the team will work with you to build a system that’s right for your home or business.

Power Guru partners with local banks and lending institutions to connect customers with financing options that make solar make sense. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to go solar, the time is now considering the potential for the elimination of the Investment Tax Credit at the end of 2025.

Power Guru’s expertise in battery backup installation means you aren’t left in the dark when the power goes out. Green Mountain Power’s battery programs are built with Vermont’s climate and unique grid challenges in mind, giving homeowners peace of mind year-round.

Power Guru is a certified installer partnered with Green Mountain Power as part of their Energy Storage System program, which offers rebates to help customers achieve energy resiliency at a great price.

• Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and responsive support

The Power of Local

Unlike big national solar chains or investor-driven firms, Power Guru is locally owned and operated. Their entire team is based in Southern Vermont, and the company is consistently named Best Green Energy Provider in the region by readers of the Bennington Banner and Manchester Journal.

Power Guru’s team members don’t just work here; they volunteer, serve on local boards, and invest in the community.

“We’re your neighbors. We strive to build systems that will go the distance and that you’ll still be thrilled with 25 years from now,” Mintz says.
