SoleVento, LLC just completed North America’s first UL Listing for a commercial small wind turbine system. The listing was comprehensive and specifically for our installation at the EcoTech Institute. We were supported by our partners at Pagett Electric throughout the entire process. SoleVento is proud to have completed this project and received the UL stickers of approval.
We have added new pictures and video of the EcoTech Institute on the EcoTech Institute Blog Post-check it out!
Honey Farm Wind and Solar Off-Grid Hybrid Power System
SoleVento just installed it’s third Urban Green Energy wind turbine! We removed the first one and installed the new 24V battery charging system today and it went great. Walker did the tower top installation work, Arthur ran the tag line, Andrew shot the video, and Bruce handled the electronics. Overall, it was a great installation.

Commercial Small Wind Turbines
TechnoSpin PowerSpin Series(HAWT)
TechnoSpin provides ground breaking efficiency (up to 40%) and excellent pricing. These machines are ideal for businesses that are on a tight budget and have space constraints. The turbines are designed and manufactured in Israel and the US. TechnoSpin turbines are easily integrated into hybrid power systems.
2.2 kW TechnoSpin PowerSpin Series Small Wind Turbine
4 kW TechnoSpin PowerSpin Series Small Wind Turbine
8 kW TechnoSpin PowerSpin Series Small Wind Turbine
13 kW TechnoSpin PowerSpin Series Small Wind Turbine
Urban Green Energy wind turbine systems are some of the most beautiful machines on the market. They have a low RPM which creates a visually stunning effect. UGE’s are a superb example of form and function. UGE is a great component for urban hybrid systems.

Kestrel Wind Energy turbines are excellent options for hybrid systems and where multiple wind turbines are desired for roof mounting. These machines make great battery charging systems and water pumping for irrigation systems. Kestrels are heavy duty little machines that are excellent for commercial roof mounted systems. A major benefit of these turbines is that they output DC voltage which makes them convenient to combine.

Fortis Wind Energy products are some of the best available. They cost more but you get a hand made machine that has the longest track record of any turbine on the market. Their US headquarters in Ithaca, NY is focused on testing, and improving the turbine through a partnership with SMA. Fortis turbines perform the best when there is a class 2-3 average wind speed and where there is not much variation in the direction of the wind.
AeroStar wind turbines are great machines for commercial businesses where tower height is not an issue and there is grid availability. These turbines are designed and manufactured in the US, so they are ideal for military bases and other ARRA projects. One of the best aspects of this machine is the monitoring system which is touch screen based and very simple to access. AeroStar turbines do not require inverters.

Solar PV Modules
We work with SolarDepot to provide high quality and competitive pricing for our clients. SoleVento and SolarDepot work together to provide the best complete solar PV systems for our clients.
Suntech is the worlds dominant PV manufacturer. Their products have a great track record and have very tight tolerances. We work with Suntech on large commercial and utility scale projects.
Day4Energy has some of the most exciting new PV technology available on the market. Their Guardian technology produces 13% more power and do not degrade over time. These modules are worth the money. If you are a business and want your system to last 35+ years, Day4Energy and SoleVento want to work with you.
Evergreen produces the most sustainable solar PV modules on the market today.
Electronics
SMA is the standard for wind and solar inverting. Their components are high quality, easy to install, and are highly efficient. Their WindyBoy inverters are some of the best that you can buy for wind turbine installations, and they are our preferred electronics set when installing commercial wind turbine systems.

Hybridyne
Hybridyne is part of the SoleVento, LLC Team.
Advanced Motor Controls
SoleVento offers advanced motor control systems designed for manufacturing and distribution operations who need to optimize their electrical systems efficiency.
Energy Efficiency Technologies For AC Motors
ZBB is next generation energy storage technology. SoleVento works with ZBB to integrate and design systems for businesses and governments who either do not have a reliable grid or who cannot afford to be taken off line. These systems are modular and easy to integrate. This technology when integrated into a SoleVento Hybrid system provides superior security and energy independence.

SoleVento recently finished their first major commercial job at the EcoTech Institute where they installed 9 wind turbines, 8 roof mounted and one installed on a 43 ft monopole tower. True to their passion, they are beginning their second major project in mid January. SoleVento will be installing a 20 kW mini solar farm for the new MI-COF facility at Fort Carson for Tepa EC. We have worked closely with Tepa and Merrick to design and plan the system, and we are very excited to get our boots on the ground! We will be installing 96 EverGreen solar pv modules onto the ProSolar Groundtrack racking system. Our systems output will be 480V created by two Fronius inverters. Our team will consist of Steven Chaney who is currently pursuing his NABCEP certification, our partners at Padgett Electric, and the rest of the SoleVento integration crew. This system will be a first for Fort Carson, and we are excited to provide it for them. For now, enjoy the rest of the blog and the new website, and check back soon for pictures!
SoleVento,LLC has been contracted to install a 8kW TechnoSpin PowerSpin at Skeen’s Diesel’s new engine repair facility in Odessa, Texas. The site is ideal as it is wide open, flat, and home to class 3 average wind speed. We will install the turbine on a 80ft Valmont monopole tower and run the power through a full SMA control and inverting system. We are expecting an output of 20-25,000 kWh per year with this machine at a cost of under $60,000 BEFORE the tax credit. We have designed this system to provide Skeen’s the option of expanding to a hybrid system in the future. SoleVento, LLC is excited about this project and the opportunity to continue to expand it’s operations providing sales and installation services to businesses in one of the best wind resources in the country.
