Wind Turbines

We offer the Skystream 3.7 system, developed by Southwest Windpower. It is the newest generation in residential wind technology. Skystream 3.7 has a 1.9 kW rating and is the first fully integrated small wind generator specifically designed for the grid-connected market. Skystream 3.7 is designed for home owners looking to reduce or eliminate their monthly electric bills.

How it Works

Skystream 3.7 is down-wind ( wind hits the blades on the downward side of the generator) direct drive (gearless or no transmission) permanent wind generator. The 3.7 uses an innovative 12-foot diameter rotor and produces approximately 400 kW per month in a 12 mph average wind. Requires 8 mph for start up and has a 110 mph maximum.
