1.         Company & Product History

·          What is ARI Green Energy and what are their accomplishments?

o    We are a renewable energy company that launched in 2006 with a predominant focus on R&D to supportsmall wind manufacturing.  Today, the Company’s product suite includes systems suitable for individual residences, municipal and commercial buildings, higher kilowatt production turbines for arrayed in-tandem wind gardens, community wind farms, as well as hybrid wind turbine and solar photovoltaic systems. The hybrid products complement each other and optimize power outputs in varying weather conditions.

o    The company’s world class distribution team and award-winning American-made product line has accumulated more than1500productunit sales in 30+ countries and on four continents across the globe.  Additionally, in 2011 the company enlisted a major sales and marketing campaign in the United States to promote the company’s brand and revenues with its superior and fully-patented product suite.

·          What makes ARI Green Energy’sbusiness strategy different – and how does that benefit me?

o    We not only manufacture and warranty the product, we also direct and manage the complete quality control of the process for our customers by providing you loan or leasing options, guaranteeing pricing integrity for our products not to mention their complete and direct installation.

·          What makes ARI Green Energy an industry leader?

o    Products: The industry’s award-winning and cutting edge blade and generator technology that delivers the greatest return on your investment (ROI). 

o    Financing: The only industry manufacturer with an internal Finance Department that provides banking assistance and support for purchase, loan or leasing options.

o    Installation: The industry’s only manufacturer that performs all tower installations with their own experienced and certified employees.

o    Support: Personalized and top-flight customer service based in the USA along with 24x7x365 real-time performance monitoring with proactive maintenance vision that achieves better customer interaction, knowledge and product efficiency.

o    A Guarantee: An industry leading 10-year limited product warranty and the manufacturing industry’s only tower warranty.

·          Where areARI Green Energy products manufactured and assembled?

o    Florida, USA.  Every part and piece of our products are assembled and distributed from the USA.*

·          Is ARI Green Energy publicly traded?

o    No.  We are a privately owned and operated American company based in the Jacksonville, FL marketplace.

2.         Product FAB & Competitive Comparison

·          (F) ARI ProprietaryUS Jet Tube Tip Designed Blades

o    (A) Greater wind capture &energy production (B) lower energy bills for our customers

o    (A) Strong /Light weight for lower start up speed (B) maximized output

o    (A) Quieter operation (B)superior audial aesthetics

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promotedUS employment

o    (A) Among the lightest blades of comparably sized turbines (B) quicker startup speed which means more efficient energy production

o    Competitive Comparison:

§   Blades with less wind capture and/or heavier materials cause reduced efficiency and production which means a lower ROI for the customer.

§   Blades with increased noise production reduce the audial aesthetics of the product and reduce customer appreciation and hospitality.

·          (F) Active Yaw Control (USA)

o    (A) Storm/Damage protection (B ) greater opportunity for increased turbine life and usage

o    (A) Generator temperature sensor (B) preservesgenerator, less opportunity for system failure

o    (A) Blades, yaw & generator specifically designed to work together (B) safer and more efficient –most industry designs contain independently purchased and intended parts

o    (A) Allows power to be harvested in higher winds, maximizing output yield(B) maximized output

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

·          (F) Electronic brake (USA)

o    An option for slowing or stopping the blades during inclement weather.  IMPORTANT NOTE: when used as a primary braking source, a short circuit can occur during very high voltages which willbreakdown the system.

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

·          (F) Furling system (USA)

o    (A) Passive system – the sensorcommunicates with the motorand allows the blades to move away from very high winds (B) avoids overheating the generator and extends system life

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

·          (F) Aerodynamic stall (USA)

o    (A) Designed into the blades which prevents them from continuing to spin at dangerously high speeds (RPM) at higher wind speeds(B) avoids overheating the generator and extends system life

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

o    Competitive Comparison:

§   ARI wind turbines contain all of the above listed options while the 50kW version also exhibits a mechanical braking system.  All of these alternatives provide added insurance that the machine will continue to perform and react properly even in dramatic weather conditions while contributing to a long-lasting and overall efficient product. 

·          PM Direct DriveCompressed Flux Generator

o    (A) Energy goes directly from the blades to the generator not to mention less moving parts (B) Less chance of failure and maintenancealong with lower associated costs

o    (A) The Flux Generator operates at 92-95% efficiency versus an induction generator and gear box that works at 80% efficiency (B) more energy production and lower bills

o    (A) Lighter than common PM direct drive generator (B) more power despite same wind speed and blade diameters

o    Competitive Comparison:

§   Some use a Gear Box which incurs a high probability of failure and lower efficiency.  Gear Boxes are the 2^nd highest failure rate for all wind turbine components.

§   Some use Induction Generator & Gear Box.  It reduces the cost but it’s far less efficient and it increases the rate of system failure. Additionally, it requires far more maintenance and its associated cost such as oil change care 2 to 4 times per year.

·          Inverters (USA)

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

o    Competitive Comparison:

§   Our inverters are programmed to work at low and high voltage which means greater energy is captured and therefore a more cost effective option for the customer.  They also possess a higher capacity than other competitive offerings.

·          Controller (USA)

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

o    Competitive Comparison:

§   One of the best and most reliable controllers in the marketplace produced by the segment’s premier manufacturer.

·          (F) Online monitoring (USA)

o    (A) Customer can view real-time production (B) informative, reassuring and even EXCITING!

o    (A) Made in USA (B) greater quality control (B) promoted US employment

o    Competitive Comparison:

§   Many competitors do not offer this feature and therefore leave the customer wondering about the productivity and cost-cutting measures of their purchase until they receive their monthly invoices.

§   Many competitors that offer this feature do not provide actual real-time monitoring and/or choose to promote this option via foreign call centers.   We think it’s best to support our MADE IN THE USA products by MADE IN THE USA employees and systems!
