IPS acquired Wind Solutions in December 2023. Based in Sanford, NC, Wind Solutions specializes in repair, upgrades, accessory components, and patented yaw system components for wind turbines.
As part of IPS, Wind Solutions continues to work with wind turbine owner-operators and utilities across North America. IPS also serves the Caribbean, United Kingdom, and Western Europe, which now benefit from Wind Solutions engineering and innovation.
The acquisition strengthens IPS services for utility-scale renewable power generation, with more in-house design, engineering, and modeling capabilities.
The IPS Wind Service Group offers single-source capabilities for wind turbine fleets — during and after warranty for the life of the assets. We service, repair, remanufacture, and replace wind turbine generators, motors, rotating equipment, and power distribution systems.
IPS solves reliability problems inside the nacelle, at the bottom of the tower, and in the substation. Adding Wind Solutions to our portfolio gives IPS new ways to minimize downtime and support customers’ run-time commitments.

Wind Solutions now draws on the engineering resources of the IPS network. Our engineering corps specializes in determining root causes of failure and developing fleet-level solutions.
IPS engineering services include:
Our troubleshooting and ability to improve fleet-level reliability make us the choice of customers who can’t afford unplanned downtime.
Wind turbine generator failure is a primary cause of higher operating and maintenance costs, and unplanned downtime. In response, IPS engineers developed WindGuard™.
WindGuard is a Class H rewind with the dielectric and mechanical strength to handle the conditions that cause premature generator failure.
This is the wind power industry’s most robust rewind. It’s engineered to withstand high-cycle fatigue, thermal aging, and mechanical failures.
The IPS dedicated in-house manufacturing facility in Indiana, PA makes CNC precision parts for customers, OEMs and distributors. Rush jobs, with short and long production runs, are no problem and we deliver OEM quality or better.
As part of IPS, Wind Solutions continues to manufacture:
IPS offers Wind Solutions customers an expanded menu of CNC precision parts manufacturing, combining skilled machinists and OEM-level technologies. The parts we manufacture include:
Keeping parts manufacturing in-house gives us complete control of quality and lead times. Single-source with IPS to streamline your vendor management and control maintenance costs.
OEM quality is our baseline. IPS engineers for the application to remanufacture or rebuild, and deliver better than new performance and reliability.
