Our Story

Built by engineers
driven by purpose

Olson Turbine Technologies was founded on a simple belief: that clean energy should be reliable, measurable, and accessible to every community on Earth. Founded in Harlow, South Carolina in 2017, that belief now powers 12 million homes across 50 countries.

Seven years of relentless progress

Olson Turbine Technologies was born in Harlow, South Carolina in 2017, when founder Eric Olson grew frustrated watching promising wind sites go undeveloped because no one could model their yield reliably enough to secure financing.

We started by building better software. Our first product was a wind analysis tool that cut yield forecast uncertainty in half. Within three years, clients were asking us to build the turbines too — and we did.

Today we are a vertically integrated platform: we model the wind, build and install the hardware, operate the fleet in real time, connect it to the grid, and certify every tonne of carbon offset. End to end, with no handoffs to third parties who don't share our standards.

"We don't measure success in gigawatts. We measure it in the number of communities that no longer depend on fossil fuels."

Eric Olson — Founder & CEO

From a South Carolina garage to 40 gigawatts

Principles that guide every decision

These aren't values we put on a wall. They're the constraints we design our products, partnerships, and culture around.

🌍
Planet First

Every decision — from material sourcing to office energy use — is weighed against its environmental cost. We hold ourselves to the same standard we set for our clients.

🔬
Engineering Rigour

We never ship a feature or install a turbine until it has been stress-tested beyond the worst conditions it will ever face in the real world.

🤝
Community Impact

We measure success not just in gigawatts but in local jobs created, energy poverty reduced, and communities powered for generations.

🔒
Radical Honesty

We publish our miss rate alongside our accuracy figures. When something goes wrong, we say so publicly and fix it openly.

The team behind the platform

Operators, engineers, and climate scientists united by a single obsession: making clean energy work better than fossil fuels in every dimension.

a true partner

"Olson doesn't just sell turbines — they become a long-term partner. Their team was on-site within four hours of our first fault alert. That kind of service changes everything."

"What sets Olson apart is the culture. Every person we've worked with — from sales to installation to support — genuinely cares about the outcome, not just the contract."

"I've worked with every major turbine manufacturer. Olson is the only one that treats sustainability reporting as a core product feature rather than a compliance afterthought."
