The Endurance Wind Turbine is doing exactly what we were told it would do. We love the way it’s built - to last decades - reliability and longevity is one of the key reasons we invested in the Endurance and when you see how its built then you can appreciate this.
We like the fact that the Endurance comes with a factory supplied tower, this ensured a quick and easy installation, even though it was well below freezing when we installed it. The Turbine mounted seamlessly to the tower and its tilt up function for ease of servicing and maintenance is a huge benefit of this product.
We live in a excellent wind zone for the Endurance Turbine between a class 2-3 wind zone - right between Lake Erie and Lake Michigan. We are already getting people from our area stopping by in interest and support for renewable energy. They are all pretty excited when they see our utility meter spinning backwards. We explain to them that we are feeding power back into the utility grid instead of consuming it which means Power Savings - they like that.
First Energy is the electric utility in our area. They have been very supportive of our project and this first installation took us about 3 months to get the approvals and permits organized. We would expect future installations of the Endurance to go much quicker due to the fact that these parties have now been exposed and understand the safety and reliability of the product.
Once First Energy engineers understood how the product connects and disconnects to the power grid and the redundant fail safe mechanisms Endurance has designed to ensure the turbine can work safely and efficiently with the power utility then there was no issues. Customers do need to fill out an application with the utility and a representative will come out to visit the site.
In Ohio, there are some great tax incentives for businesses who wish to install these types of wind turbines and the U.S. Government just passed a $ 4,000 tax credit to home owners who wish to produce their own power.
Thanks again for delivering on your product’s promises.
