The Jacobs® wind turbines are considered by many to be the "Cadillac" of the wind turbine industry. Founded in the mid 1920s, the Jacobs® name is the oldest and best established company in the field of wind energy.

These turbines are capable of producing enough power for an extremely large home, a mid size business, or a farm. Jacob's turbines have earned respect amongst the wind turbine industry as a reliable, trouble free system. Know the price of your power for the next 30 years.

The Jacobs® Grid Intertie System takes the power that the wind plant produces and converts it to useable energy and transfers it to the utility grid (power company) through the customers circuit breaker panel.  When the customers usage exceeds the wind systems output, the additional power required is drawn from the utility grid.  If the electrical needs are satisfied by the wind system, no power is used from the utility.  During periods of sustained high winds the system may produce more power than is consumed, a financial return can be realized by selling the excess power to the utility company and through net energy savings.  The Grid Intertie System is not a backup power system, if the utility power goes out, the control shuts down until the utility power comes back on.

A basic Jacobs Wind turbine system consists of the following:

• Wind Turbine
• Grid Intertie Controls
• Tower & Hinges
