Turning Point Solar
In 2010, Wilhelm was a founding partner of New Harvest Ventures. In conjunction with Agile Energy, New Harvest Ventures is developing Turning Point Solar, a 49.9 megawatt solar photovoltaic power plant built in rural Southeastern Ohio. If operating today, Turning Point would be the eighth largest photovoltaic solar project in the world. The goal of Turning Point is to bring affordable clean energy to the citizens of Ohio while having a meaningful economic impact by creating sustainable jobs and utilizing an principally Ohio-sourced supply chain.
The magnitude of the orders associated with the project has triggered a leading European solar panel manufacturer to locate its North American manufacturing and distribution facilities in Ohio, creating more than 300 permanent jobs.

Famous quotes containing the words turning point, turning, point and/or solar:
“A turning point in modern history.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.”
—Paula C. Lowe (20th century)
“The town is divided into various groups, which form so many little states, each with its own laws and customs, its jargon and its jokes. While the association holds and the fashion lasts, they admit nothing well said or well done except by one of themselves, and they are incapable of appeciating anything from another source, to the point of despising those who are not initiated into their mysteries.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
“Senta: These boats, sir, what are they for?
Hamar: They are solar boats for Pharaoh to use after his death. They’re the means by which Pharaoh will journey across the skies with the sun, with the god Horus. Each day they will sail from east to west, and each night Pharaoh will return to the east by the river which runs underneath the earth.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
