June 27,2010 6kw Scirocco Wind Turbine and 3kw Hummer wind turbine Grid Tie
Chris from Alberta Canada
Let us know that the 6kw was up and running for 8 weeks and working fine. He said the Scirocco 6kw wind turbine is really quiet and producing well. He said that he was really happy with it!
Chris's Mom Has a 3kw Hummer up and running for about 4 weeks and this unit is also producing well with now issues.

Hi Lorena
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am - the new charge controller is working great. I'm thinking perhaps there was a problem with the old one all along, as I seem to be swimming in power now ( of course we are at strongest sun of year). Anyway, the reason that I came to Evolvegreen in the first place was because of word of mouth, and I can tell you that I already have continued the good word of mouth. I was very impressed with the way I was treated. Thank you, and keep up the great work.

"Since my first contact with Evolve Green, to my purchase a month and a half later, I experienced a knowledgeable, personable customer service that never tired of my repeated contact (including requests for a slightly different quote). Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised at Lorna's knowledge of Ontario's microfit program - she knows the rules! Thank-you, Lorena and Evolve Green for the great solar panels you sold to me!"

The Turbine has been running great so far. We ran two computers, four days.

"As citizens of this planet we have a responsibility to look at alternative methods of producing power," says Maximilian Hegel, a teacher at Elmwood High School in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "But for many people the problem is overwhelming. "I'm just one person, what can I do?" is a question often heard. A project like this helps answer that."
The project is Green Energy. It's a sustainable energy learning centre Elmwood has been developing to demonstrate how wind and solar energy can generate electricity for use inside the school building. The learning centre is in the library, where two computers, available for student use, are running off the grid, powered by a wind turbine installed in front of the school.
"The installation has generated many questions from students and community members," says Hegel, about installing a turbine in their homes. "This is a demonstration of how small-scale power generation works and how it can be installed by individual households."
The next step in that demonstration, says Hegel, is solar power. "Wind is an excellent source for generating power, but it's inconsistent. We haven't had a good wind in a week and the batteries are depleted." With the grant, the school will install solar panels along its south-facing windows.
This highly visible addition will be another example of small-scale alternative energy. "If everyone makes a small effort, the cumulative effects can be very powerful," says Hegel. "This grant is a part of that cumulative effect that we are starting at Elmwood High School."

Hi. I just wanted to update you guys on the progress of the wind turbine
we got from you last year. Our maintenance department insisted on handling
the installation and they finally erected the tower, the turbine and
trenched in the line to the outside of the school. They also erected a
large fence around the tower, I guess they were concerned about the blades
coming off or the tower falling down. All that is left is for them to run
the line into the building and we should be good to go. I've attached a
picture of the turbine and once we are up and running will send a picture
of the kids using the computer we will be powering with it. Many thanks
for your assistance.
Students at Grosse Isle School know exactly how the wind blows, and are learning how the act of nature can generate real power.
The school recently set up a wind turbine that is being used to teach students about alternative sources of energy, and also powers a few of their electronic devices in the class room.
"It's a small wind turbine that the kids have gotten their hands on," explains Chris Lawson, the school's principal, who also teaches an environmental class. "We use it for educational purposes and to run a few things around the school. It ties into the division's goal to teach sustainable development."
The turbine, which sits on an eight metre tall tower in front of the school, was installed just before winter last year, but didn't get up and running until the beginning of May.
"We've finally got it up and running and we're having a little bit of fun with it," says Lawson, who adds students have been so excited about the project that he's seen a few spending their recess time just watching the turbine spin.
Energy is produced by wind the spinning turbines and is stored in a battery before running through an inverter which converts the energy to the type of electricity that runs household appliances.
"It's not huge but it shows the kids how wind energy can produce electricity, and it allows us to run a few things in one of our classrooms," explains Lawson.
Lawson says the school is using the energy produced by the turbine to run a computer, a microwave, and things like overhead projectors.
"It's used like an additional outlet," he says. "It's a stand alone system, and it won't tie into the grid. It's a model that is used primarily in rural settings, and it can run a small refrigerator, or a colour TV or that type of thing."
Students in Lawson's Grade 5 and 6 environmental class first got interested in the idea of wind generated power last year while discussing the things individuals can do to save energy and help the environment.
"The kids came up with some goals for things that they might want to do around the school, and one of them was to reduce our energy consumption," says Lawson. "We talked about things like turning off the lights when we're not in the classrooms… and then one of the kids wondered if there was something more tangible we could do.
The school used money from a provincial grant to pay a portion of the tab for the turbine, while the remaining costs were covered by Steinbach-based Evolve Green, which specializes in alternative energy and provided the new turbine to Grosse Isle.
The 500 watt wind turbine is a hybrid model, which allows solar panels to hook up with it as well. Lawson says Grosse Isle School is interested in expanding to solar power next year.
"The solar panels should help out on those not so windy days, because the solar energy will kick in and make up for the difference," he says.
As well as the seeing the benefits of wind power, Lawson says his students are also getting the opportunity to see some of the downsides.
"During calm days, it doesn't work as well," he laughs. "It stores energy in batteries, but if you're using something that draws a constant load they'll get depleted rather quickly."
Interlake School Division's superintendent Ross Metcalf says he's happy students at the school get a hands on chance to learn about alternative energy.
"One of our goals is educational sustainable development, and it's one thing to put out a little green box to recycle, but how about a wind turbine," he says. "This is planting tremendous ideas into the minds of these kids... it's one thing to see something in a book, but here it is in right in their own school yard — this is really cool."

Hello Tina,
Thanks so much for all your support. I will be sending more business your way, there are alot of people out here asking questions and want turbines they just want to see ours up and running and sending power back to the grid. It has been a pleasure dealing with your company. I hope we can work together in the future and help more people get off the grid.
Thanks
Grant

Hi Lorena & Tina, Thought you would like to see how much power two SWG 1000
watt wind turbines can make. We had a storm last night 60kms winds. I am
quite impressed, these wind turbines they are working great.
Thanks talk soon
