WindTamer seeks name change

Rochester wind turbine company WindTamer Corp. is looking to change its name to Arista Power Inc.

Shareholders will vote on the name change at the annual stockholder meeting to be held May 18.

If approved, the company’s wind turbines still will bear the WindTamer brand name.

In a statement, CEO William Schmitz said the name change “reflects the fact that we have significantly broadened our suite of product offerings” in recent months. Those additional offerings include its Power on Demand system of battery storage that stores and distributes power from such renewable sources as wind and solar.
