Skystream Wind Turbines
Skystream 3.7 is a breakthrough in a new generation of residential and commercial power appliances that is changing how small businesses and homes worldwide supply their energy needs. Developed in conjunction with the US Department of Energy, Skystream is the first and only small wind turbine that will produce distributed electricity in the 11 cent per kW range over the life of the turbine.
- All-inclusive design with inverter and controls built in
- Easily installed
- Graceful, eye-catching design
- Facility uses energy from Skystream first, then draws from grid
- Excess energy accumulates credit where net metering is available
- Low maintenance – only two moving parts
- Wireless communications for performance monitoring
- Wireless software updates
- Five-year warranty
The overall energy produced from Skystream and corresponding savings is dependent upon a few key variables includes average wind speed, siting conditions and cost of kWh. While output and savings will vary depending on these conditions the below graphs illustrate power generation and estimated energy savings over Skystream’s life. Based on an average wind speed of 12.5 mph approximately 5,000 kW/h’s will be generated annually. While energy production is linear based on fixed wind speed, the overall energy savings are not. The savings graph below shows the expected return based on a current kWh cost of 11 cents factoring in the expected increase of energy on an annual basis over the life of the turbine.
