Alternative Power Sources Limited (APS) was incorporated in 2005 from a merger between JamPearl Engineering and Construction (JEC) and Brightlight Solar. The two companies having worked jointly on a project by project basis from as early as 2003.

JEC, a member of the Jampearl Group of Companies, assisted with the installation of anemometer and data logging equipment at the Munro Turbine located at Munro College in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica in collaboration with the Department of Physics at the University of the West Indies some fourteen years ago.
