Endurance Wind Power Tax Credit

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

Endurance Wind Power among small wind turbines eligible for 30% tax credit, homewonwers and businesses benefit from American Recovery and Re-investment Act (2009 Stimulus Package) US Federal Government Signs into Law 30% Tax Credit for Small Wind

As part of the US economic stimulus package signed into law last month the Federal Government has provided a tax credit that is the largest in its history in an effort to support renewable energy and small wind power.

This new legislation is an update from last year's announcement of a tax credit that was capped at a maximum of $4000.00.

This new incentive package has eliminated the cap on the small wind investment so now a consumer or small business that is investing in an Endurance Turbine that can run a large sized home or small business is eligible for a full 30% tax credit or even grant.

How can I benefit from this stimulus package?

An Endurance wind turbine and installation can be reduced by 30% of the total cost provided you owe taxes in the course of a few years. In addition, depending on which state you reside and install your Endurance Turbine.

This year alone we have seen more than 25 states introduce renewable energy incentive programs that Endurance customers can take advantage of.

Imagine - due to Endurance's top quality product and reliability you are also able to get your turbine financed through some of our select finance partners. Something the small wind industry has never seen before.

Endurance is changing the landscape of Small Wind Power and making it both affordable and practical for homes, farms, small businesses, schools and many other corporate customers to produce green power that works.

A tax credit is money that you can claim and deduct from any tax amount that you owe to the federal government. You can carry over the small wind tax credit for upto two years from when you installed your Endurance Wind Turbine.
Further details can be received by a tax specialist or your accountant. An IRS form 5695 must be completed and sent in with your taxes. (you will need the updated form that reflects the updated changes)

This 30% tax credit applies to one or more Endurance Wind Turbines and businesses and schools may qualify for a grant from the treasury department instead of a tax credit.(details on this grant are still forthcoming)

You can review further details on the U.S. federal agencies' progress through several government web sites:

Endurance Wind Power - Keeps its Promise in OHIO

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

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.

Windy In New York for the Endurance during the Holidays

Monday, December 29, 2008

Well, it's been a little breezy today. The Endurance fault tolerant braking system shut the turbine down due to high winds (65.2 mph). We waited a while and the blades began to turning again, Then the grid went down (only for about 5 minutes), and the turbine waited about 5 more and we were making power again.

Then the turbine shut down again (63.8 mph wind), I got impatient and started the turbine and did not let it cycle on its own this time, then the wind blew a little more... And in the 24 hours from 8:45 last night until 8:45 tonight, our meter for the turbine said ... (really I read the meter and did the math) that our little windmill managed to produce 83 kwh of power in just the last 24 hours!

And as I get ready to send this e-mail - the control box says that we are still producing 4867 watts! WOW the Endurance is everything you promised. God bless global warming and the Endurance!

Supporting Pickens Plan is Good for the Economy and Our Planet

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

T Boone Pickens has been a huge supporter of Wind Energy for many years and has an incredible story to tell about North American's dependency on foreign oil and our need as a nation to look at alternative resources for powering our homes and vehicles. Goto www.pickensplan.com

North America has an abundance of wind and clean natural gas. The Pickens Plan teaches and informs us of solutions to the issues that plague our country and economy.

Wind power is capable of producing 20-30% of our nation's electricity in a matter of years and we all can help and participate in this regard. T Boone Pickens and many other corporations are investing in Large Wind Farms.

Endurance Wind Power offers small business, farmers and home owners the opportunity to participate in this initiative first hand, by producing their own power while their excess energy is sent back on to the Power Grid for
others to use. Endurance Wind Power makes it possible for all of us to participate in this important initiative.

As our new President of the United States gets ushered into power in January 2009, we're confident that he will follow through on many of his plans to support alternative energy programs. Its already happening at the Federal
Level, in October 08, a new Federal Tax credit for small wind power was enacted that provides customers with up to a $ 4,000 tax credit with every new small wind turbine installation.

Endurance Wind Power urges you to learn more about Pickens Plan and join the army of Americans in support of this initiative. You can start changing America's future today by supporting the Pickens Plan. goto www.pickensplan.com.

The need to lower our reliance on foreign oil is paramount and producing our own power is one of the best ways that we can do so.

Endurance Windmills in Texas

Thursday, December 4, 2008


Wanted to thank the Endurance team on an awesome product and let you know that it was a pleasure dealing with your company. We recently installed an Endurance S-250 on a 126 FT tiltable tower at our home in Texas. We were told the Endurance Wind Turbine would be extremely quiet so we installed it very close to our home. I had no idea how quiet it would be.

Friends who have had experience with other turbines told us we were crazy to install it just 120 ft from our house. They told us we wouldn't get any sleep. This unit is so quiet that I could sleep right under it. I was just on my cell phone while at the base of the tower and the turbine was running in 20 MPH winds. My friend asked me where I was and I told him. He could not believe it, I could barely hear the wind turbine myself so I knew he couldn't at the end of the other phone.



Blue Bonnet Electric, the utility interconnect that services our area in Texas was great to work with. They made the interconnection very straight forward and simple for us. There were 4 steps in the process;

1) Fill out an Interconnect Document

2) Send in the Endurance Documentation for Interconnection to the Utility Engineers for approval

3) Utility representative came out to the house to visit the site and we received approval

4) Once the Turbine was installed another representative from the utility visited to ensure the installation and interconnection was completed in a satisfactory and safe manner.

The utility had the following comments about the Endurance Turbine:

- Very impressed with the installation and the design of the Wind Turbine - one of the best designed turbines they had ever seen

- They like the class of turbine (size 5 KW) and how it worked from an operating stand point

- They really liked the fact that there were no batteries or inverters in the system - they felt the Endurance design would be much safer and reliable

- The utility even took pictures

By the way - Really like the design of the controller and the software. The Fact that all the information about the turbine appears in one screen is very helpful.

Thanks again.

Comments From A Proud Endurance Wind Turbine Owner on Martha's Vineyard

Monday, November 3, 2008

Hi everybody. As the latest members of the Martha's Vineyard group Don and I are pretty excited. I am so obsessed that I have installed a web cam in the skylight in Don's studio so that I can watch our turbine live from work (and show it off like a proud parent). If you want to see it you can go to Simon Bollin's website: www.Ilovethevineyard.com

Pull down to the bottom of the page and on the left you will see a link to MV Wind Turbine. Click on the link and follow instructions. If you are crazy enough to want to watch your own turbine contact Vineyard Electronics and we can set you up. You will have to have a computer network connection near a window that can view the turbine or spend extra for an outdoor waterproof cover for the camera and the network connection to the location. We were lucky to have the skylight in the barn and a convenient network connection. There is only one window in our house that can actually see the turbine through the trees and there isn't a convenient network connection near that skylight. If you want better resolution it gets pretty expensive. I am already tempted to upgrade the quality of the camera but I have decided to wait and see if the novelty wears off before spending the extra money.

Linda
