ARE wind generators are as strong as they come. Designed for harsh climates, they are built simply and ruggedly to quietly last. ARE machines have a large swept area to capture more wind and produce more energy, especially in low wind speeds. These machines produce energy in the winds you get, day in and day out
Power when you need it, not just in storms. ARE manufactures the ARE110 (2.5KW), the ARE442 (10KW), as well as a variety of tower types and sizes.

Entegrity Wind Systems, Inc. (EWSI) is the manufacturer and distributor of the EW15 wind system, a very reliable 50kW wind turbine, which is particularly suited to wind-hybrid applications in which the power is used directly by the end-user customer. The EW15 is ideal for use by farms, schools, industrial businesses, and municipal waste water treatment facilities in grid tied applications. For remote communities the EW15 can be incorporated into a utility system to provide power to the small villages and towns. The EW15 is a significantly advanced version of the former AOC 15/50. The EW15 can be expected to deliver between 150,000-200,000 kWh per year, depending on the wind regime at the site. The expected useful life of the EW15 is 30 years. EWSI, located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, has operated successfully since the current management assumed control of the former Atlantic Orient Corporation in 2002.
