Rapidly Increasing Green Energy with VAWTs
One of the fastest and easiest ways to increase renewable energy production in many areas is by adding an understory of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) beneath existing horizontal axis turbines (HAWTs) in wind farms. Zoning requirements and building out infrastructure (roads, transmission lines, etc.) make it costly and time-consuming to develop new wind farms. Wind Harvest CEO Kevin Wolf explains Capacity Factor Enhancement projects and the savings that make them quick and inexpensive to install. Wind Harvesters are designed to be short enough to install underneath tall turbines and reap the extra benefits of efficient use of resources.

Wind Harvest International, Inc. is a California-based renewable energy technology company, founded in 2006. The company makes, sells, and develops projects for its Wind Harvester brand of H-type turbines, the only known product designed to harvest the highly energetic, turbulent wind that blows 15-80 feet above the ground. Wind Harvest’s wholly-owned financial subsidiary Wind Harvest Pilot Project Inc. raises funds and loans it to the parent company.
