In today’s hard economic times, combined with the growing concerns of global climate change and the importance of recycling, wind energy just makes sense. Wind turbines generate enough electricity to power everything from a business to a school, and even an entire community.
PearlWind, LLC. erected the very first renewable energy wind turbine located on a business property in Cleveland, Ohio. We are also one of the first in the country to have a turbine in an urban setting. PearlWind is incorporated as a full service renewable energy service provider. We have been involved in electrical engineering, tower erection and solar & wind installation for over 20 years.
Research shows that energy efficient products not only help to control your future electrical costs and significantly reduce your carbon footprint, but they convey to your employees, customers and the community your strong commitment to responsible environmental stewardship. We will show you how to harness wind energy, and we’ll walk you through the steps from planning to completion. We can work on your behalf with your city zoning. We will assist you in securing government grants to help offset the costs, and show you why a wind turbine makes economical sense. There is a full range of services required for your wind turbine project, and we can handle all of it for you, including:
- Detailed wind study
- Detailed engineering design plans
- Selecting the turbine size and model tailored to your site and power needs
- Identify and process State and Federal Grants
