Skystream 3.7 Home Wind Turbine Generator Fact Sheet
The Skystream unit is designed for residential use, and is capable of producing renewable, clean energy - providing a cost savings on your home’s electric bill. If located properly on your site, and if you have an average 12 mph wind speed, it can provide an average of 400 kilowatt hours of electricity per month If you are interested in this device consider the following:
* Check with your local municipality – see what they would require if you decide to install this unit.
* We strongly recommend that you perform your own long-term wind speed study at your site – at least 12 to 18 months. You will need at least a 12 mph average wind speed for the system to be cost effective – go to here for info on purchasing a wind speed recorder.
* Evaluate your location – do you have at least 300’ of unobstructed space around where you intend to place the unit? Trees, buildings, and other objects create turbulence, and will not allow the unit to work effectively
* Wind speed is higher and steadier at higher altitude. Your property should have an elevation of 1200 feet or more if possible to make sure you have good results.
* This device is connected directly to your home’s circuit panel through two 20 amp breakers – it outputs 240 volts ac current directly from the generator unit on top of the pole.
* This unit only operates when it senses live power – if the utility power supply is out, this unit will not function as back up power. Since it is connected directly to your panel box, this prevents power flowing back into the grid and possibly injuring a utility worker.
* This unit takes advantage of what is called “net metering”. It is installed “inside” of your utility meter. If you are using more power than it is producing, current flows into your house – spinning your meter forward. If it is producing more than you are using, the current flows out of your house, spinning the meter backward. For example – if you use 1000 kwh in a month, and the unit produces 400 kwh, then 1000 forward – 400 backward = the 600 kwh you would pay for.
* The unit only contains two wearing parts – the bearing that allows it to rotate with the wind, and the one in the prop shaft. The alternator is brushless, therefore it has no internal wear items. The two bearings are standard sealed types, and have a theoretical 20 year life.
* We can provide a site evaluation to recommend where to situate the Skystream, however, we do not provide long-term wind speed measurement There is a 30% tax credit available from the federal government, however currently there are no grants available at the state or federal level.
