Jacobs Wind
Jacobs Wind Electric Co. Inc. is the oldest renewable energy company in the United States.
It has been designing consumer and commercial renewable energy systems sized to the changing distributed electric loads of their periods since the mid-1920s.
The firm was started and established by Marcellus and Joseph Jacobs, after local interest in their wind electric system for their family's Montana Ranch, built in 1922, brought them requests from neighbors to provide them with wind generated electric power as well.
M.L.& Joe moved the firm to Minneapolis in 1963 to begin production of improved wind/ engine distributed energy systems which were sold in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, as well as on every major continent, through a Dealer network that grew to over 300.
Early Jacobs' machines included one taken to Antarctica by Richard Evelyn Byrd and installed( at Byrd's' Little America') in 1933, running until 1955.
Before production ceased in the late 1950s, about 20,000 Jacobs Wind Energy Systems( 1 – 3 kW) were shipped from Minneapolis.
In the 1980s via a partnership with Control Data a new line of production of Jacobs Wind Energy Systems began in Minneapolis, with marketing of larger 10–20 kW systems.
Most of these 1,500+ wind systems produced from 1980- 85 were grid connected.
The majority of them went to pioneering windfarms in Hawaii and California.
In Minnesota, Jacobs units began being connected to Rural Electric Cooperative( REC) grids starting in 1981.
Many of these systems are still on line to REC grids ’ selling renewable wind power( AG- WATTS).
Today, the firm's designers( several now in their 4th decade in the wind industry) are working with local RECs on a new generation of consumer renewable energy systems sized to ever larger consumer electric loads at distributed rural sites.
Apollo Energy Systems
Apollo Energy Systems is a U.S. multinational alternative energy corporation headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida that develops, produces and markets fuel cell power plants, electric propulsion systems, and alternative energy generation equipment.
The company was founded in 1966 as the Electric Fuel Propulsion Corporation( EFP) in New Orleans, Louisiana.
It later became known as the Electric Auto Corporation( EAC), and in 2001 changed to Apollo Energy Systems.
Stirling Energy Systems
Stirling Energy Systems is a Scottsdale, Arizona- based company which developed equipment for utility- scale renewable energy power plants and distributed electrical generating systems using parabolic dish and stirling engine technology, touted as the highest efficiency solar technology.
In April 2008, Ireland- based NTR purchased a majority stake in Stirling Energy Systems for$ 100 M.
As of 8/3/2011 NTR reported they were seeking 3rd party investment in Stirling Energy Systems.]
On 29 September 2011 Stirling Energy Systems filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, due to falling PV prices caused by subsidized Chinese Photo Voltaic In April 2012 the Maricopa Solar plant in Phoenix, Arizona was bought by British company United Sun Systems in a joint venture with a Chinese/ American corporation.
Coda Automotive
CODA Automotive Inc. is a privately held American company headquartered in Los Angeles, California, that designs, semi manufactures lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery systems built for automotive and power storage utility applications.
The company initially sold electric cars.
Miles Automotive partnered with Hafei and Qingyuan Electric Vehicle to establish Coda Automotive as an affiliate company.
The name CODA comes from the musical term for the concluding passage of a piece of music.
CODA Automotive has said that it chose the name because its electric vehicle technology represents an end for combustion engine vehicles, and the start of the electric vehicle era.
In June 2009, CODA announced the creation and funding of LIO Energy Systems, a global joint-venture with Lishen Power Battery.
LIO Energy Systems was formed with the purpose of designing, manufacturing, and selling battery systems for electric vehicles and utility applications.
LIO Energy Systems will supply battery systems to CODA Automotive for use in the all-electric CODA, to other automotive OEMs globally, and to renewable energy producers, utilities and other power storage customers.
LIO Energy Systems was later renamed CODA Energy.
CODA’s sole vehicle offering was the Coda all-electric sedan, a four-door, five passenger electric car powered by a battery pack that delivered a United States Environmental Protection Agency rated range of , the longest among its class, although considerably less than the Tesla Roadster and Tesla Model S.
The electric car was released in March 2012, and initially was available only in California.
After low initial sales of the Coda Car, Coda Automotive terminated 15% of its workforce, and entered a period of financial difficulty.
As of May 2013, Coda was seeking bankruptcy protection.
By May 2016, Exergonix, Inc. acquired all assets of the company.
