Hello to everyone interested in commercial and large scale renewable energy applications!  SoleVento, after building momentum through the worst of the recession, has recently won a significant contract with Rives Construction to implement a small wind turbine system for the EcoTech Institute in Denver, Colorado.

Our project at EcoTech began construction in November 2010.  We are installing a 4 kW Urban Green Energy wind turbine on a 43 ft tower along with 8 Kestrel 600W e160s on parapet mounted tower systems that we are developing jointly with Rives Construction.  This project will be a great small wind turbine installation that will operate for at least the next 25 years.  The building is located off of highway 225 in Aurora, Co and will be very visible.  Another major aspect of this project is the UL listing process.  The small wind system being installed will be the first system listed in the US.  The best part of this installation is that after its completion, we will be the most experienced small wind turbine installers in Colorado, with 14 small wind turbines installed in the past year.  If you have a commercial building and would like to add high quality renewable energy systems to it, then we are the company to work with.

The process of this installation has been a great learning experience.  We have worked closely with Rives Construction on the planning and design of the project as well as the custom parapet roof mounting system.  Working with the electrical contractor, Pagett Electric, has been a pleasure and highly effective.  Collaborating on each step of the planning and installation process has ensured a well thought out and effective system.  SoleVento has also learned the importing process and is now able to import without any major delays.  Not only is the completion of this project a milestone in the company’s maturation, but it has also made us significantly better at what we do.  You will be hard pressed to find a more versatile commercial renewable energy integrator anywhere.

More news to come as the final pieces of the puzzle come together at the job site.  Until then, enjoy the pictures!

Well, We are finally finished!  The turbines are running and the UL Listing is complete.  This was a great project, with a great crew, and SoleVento, LLC would like to thank everyone who was involved!
