The Carters were determined to slim down wind turbines using some of the lessons from the helicopter industry… the lighter the turbine, the lower the capital costs. Jay Carter, Sr. was a mastermind of the manufacture of lightweight composite material that would prove crucial to the Carter Wind Turbine design.

“I recognized that wind was free essentially, and if you could harness it at a low cost, it would be one way of generating electricity. And generating electricity had always been something I’d been interested in, since I was really a kid. “ ~Jay Carter, Sr.

“Our Wind Turbine is so cost effective that it works without any tax credits or tax gimmicks. We can produce wind power for about 1/3 to 1/5th of our nearest competitor.” ~ Jay Carter, Jr.

“Energy is the lifeblood of our society and the need for clean, renewable American-Made energy is what the market has designed.” ~Matt Carter
