About Us
Perfection is not the state where nothing further can be added,
but rather where nothing further can be taken away.

Business
In close collaboration with Johan Kuikman and Fortis Wind Energy in The Netherlands (Holland), Fortis Wind Energy · U.S. was created for the purpose of distributing Fortis wind turbines in the U.S. Fortis is an established manufacturer of small wind turbines with a 25+ year record of high quality and performance with more than 5,000 turbines deployed throughout the world. We encourage you to review their website as well as ours.
Fortis Wind was founded by Art Weaver and Dan Roy of Renovus Energy Inc. - a company providing design-build services for renewable energy systems in central New York. After installing some of the most popular wind turbines available in the U.S. and having encountered various quality and performance issues, Renovus found that none of them could be enthusiastically recommended to their clients. This situation prompted a search for a better option, which ultimately led to Fortis turbines.
For the past 3 years, Fortis Wind Energy · U.S. has undertaken product testing and quality assurance to prepare Fortis turbines for the U.S. market. We are now entering that market with confidence and a commitment to offer the best small wind systems available in the world.
Please refer to our Products page for links to detailed documentation for all Fortis wind turbines including pre-engineered wind towers as well as matched and tested balance-of-system (BOS) components for turn-key grid-tie and off-grid small wind systems.

Statement of Principles
We intend that Fortis Wind Energy · U.S. be an exemplary business with products and policies which move us toward environmental and social regeneration. Achieving sustainability is only a first step toward regenerating a natural world which, in our ignorance, has been largely destroyed. Our essential and intimate connection with the Earth has been long forgotten. This must change.
The people who work here endeavor to live their lives according to their deepest principles without making too many compromises to the dysfunctional social systems in which we find ourselves. With this awareness, we recognize that we are all connected - to each other and to everything - all is one. We have to work hard to make the world a better place - starting with ourselves.
The main motivation for our work is our objective judgment as well as our intuitive sense that our world is not doing well, that humans are responsible for the present social and environmental problems, and, above all, that we are each personally responsible for doing something about it.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
