Earth Turbines Changes Name to AllEarth Renewables to Reflect Dual Focus
Earth Turbines Changes Name to AllEarth Renewables to Reflect Dual Focus

Earth Turbines, Inc., founded by Charlotte resident David Blittersdorf in 2005, has announced a corporate name change to AllEarth Renewables, Inc. AllEarth Renewables is Vermont’s only manufacturer of small-scale, grid-connected wind and solar tracking systems.
“Our company is dedicated to be developing new wind and solar technologies,” said Blittersdorf, who is CEO and president of AllEarth Renewables.  “We want to be sure that our corporate name reflects this larger focus for the future.” Blittersdorf‘s team of engineers design rugged and reliable, grid-connected renewable energy systems that help homeowners and businesses realize the dream of generating electricity with local, renewable energy.  Much of what was learned while testing and refining the Earth Turbine 2500 informed the development of the AllSun Tracker dual-axis solar system, which was introduced in May of 2009.
AllEarth Renewables (new logo art to the right) provides turnkey site assessment and permitting and installation for both the Earth Turbine 2500 and the AllSun Tracker dual-axis solar system. With a 30% federal tax credit and available Vermont tax credits or rebates, each of these renewable energy systems can fit the budget of a wide array of consumers seeking to reduce their dependence on nuclear and fossil fuels, support renewable energy and assure a fixed-cost, reliable power source for their homes or businesses.
More than 80 AllSun Tracker solar systems have already been installed, including 36 at the Green Acres Tracker Farm in Hinesburg, the largest solar installation to date in the state. The electricity produced by the Green Acres Tracker Farm (estimated at 200,000 kWh per year) is divided between the corporate headquarters of AllEarth Renewables and NRG Systems of Hinesburg through a process called group net-metering. This allows the electric output of a system to be shared among multiple entities located within the same utility service area.  It is estimated that with the electricity generated by the Green Acres Tracker Farm, both NRG and AllEarth Renewables will be able to meet 100% of their electricity needs through clean, locally-generated renewable power.
For information or to schedule a site visit to see if your home or business is suitable for wind or solar, you can contact AllEarth Renewables by e-mail at info@allearthrenewables.com.
