The MRPS for the FBI includes a patented, ducted WindTamer wind turbine, best in class solar cells, fuel cells, and a state-of-the-art energy storage and power distribution system. The system contains fully compatible AC/DC connectors and grid interconnects, is whisper quiet and produces no heat signature. The system can be transported by commercial vehicles and is designed to replace diesel fuel generators for continuous operations. The FBI will utilize the system to power communications equipment in remote locations.

Nick Foundos, Electrical Engineer and Program Manager of the FBI's Audio Technology Deployment Unit Power Sources Program, said that, "We are procuring the Arista Power MRPS as we feel it will meet the needs of our application by combining wind, solar, fuel cells and energy storage into a reliable renewable power station. We are extremely impressed with the engineering capabilities of the Arista Power team and look forward to fielding the MRPS."

"There is no other system like ours," said William Schmitz, Chief Executive Officer of Arista Power, Inc. "We see our system as a cost-effective alternative to using diesel generators in the field. Our system is versatile, scalable, reduces the number of site visits for refueling, and can be custom-designed to incorporate a variety of technologies to service virtually any power requirement. Remote monitoring is a rapidly growing application. We are seeing increasing interest in our Mobile Renewable Power Station, both in the commercial market and from a number of government agencies, including the U.S. Army, and we expect additional orders going forward."
