History of RSP Systems
Founded in the early 2000s, RSP Systems began as a dedicated clean energy integrator focused on distributed power solutions in the Northeast U.S. The company quickly became a leader in designing and deploying high-efficiency CHP and microturbine systems tailored to municipal, industrial, and institutional needs.
In 2012, RSP Systems was named the exclusive distributor of Capstone Turbine Corporation for the Northeastern United States, greatly expanding its ability to deliver high-efficiency, ultra-low emissions microturbine systems. With a legacy of reliability, innovation, and customer service, RSP Systems continues to support sustainable energy projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve power reliability, and lower long-term operational costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About RSP Systems
What is a Capstone microturbine?
- A Capstone microturbine is a compact, efficient energy generator that converts gaseous fuel into electricity and heat with minimal moving parts and low maintenance.
Can microturbines run on biogas?
- Yes. Capstone turbines are biogas-compatible, making them ideal for wastewater treatment, food waste digesters, and landfills.
What is cogeneration or CHP?
- Cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power) uses one fuel source to simultaneously produce electricity and thermal energy—improving efficiency and reducing waste.
What size systems are available?
- Capstone microturbines are available from 30kW to 1000kW units and can be paralleled for multi-megawatt systems.
Are these systems eligible for energy incentives?
- Yes. Many RSP Systems projects qualify for NYSERDA or utility incentives, as well as federal tax credits.
How efficient are Capstone microturbines?
- Electrical efficiency can reach over 33%, and overall efficiency with heat recovery can exceed 80%.
How often do microturbines need maintenance?
- With air-bearing technology and no liquids to replace, Capstone turbines typically require minimal service—often fewer than 2 scheduled visits per year.
Can these systems operate off-grid?
- Yes. Capstone systems can be configured for grid-parallel or stand-alone operation, supporting microgrids and remote facilities.
What is the typical ROI on a cogeneration system?
- Most CHP systems offer ROI within 3–7 years depending on fuel cost savings, incentives, and thermal utilization.
Can Siewert Equipment assist with installation and service?
- Absolutely. Our team offers full turnkey support from design to commissioning and long-term maintenance.
