Skystream - 1.8 kW Wind Turbine

Skystream is the first wind-powered, grid-connected Residential Power Appliance that produces electricity for less than the retail rate of many utilities.

Introducing Skystream 3.7™ – a new generation Residential Power Appliance that hooks up to your home to help you reduce or eliminate your monthly electricity costs. It’s the first compact, user-friendly, all-inclusive wind generator (with controls and inverter built in) designed to provide quiet, clean electricity in very low winds. With Skystream, homeowners and small business owners now have the power to choose their electricity source.

The iPod* of Windpower

That’s how a leading publication describes Skystream. Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Skystream was designed from the start for homeowners looking for a quiet, convenient, affordable way to protect themselves from ever increasing electricity costs.

How it works is simple. With no batteries*, Skystream connects directly to your home. When the wind is blowing, your home is powered (in part) by Skystream; when it’s not, your home is seamlessly powered by your utility as usual. During periods of strong winds, Skystream can actually produce excess electricity. Depending on your utility, your meter will spin backwards— giving you credit for a later date.

*Battery charging for home energy back-up systems are also available.

Reduce or Eliminate Your Electric Bill

Skystream is the first wind-powered, grid-connected Residential Power Appliance that produces electricity for less than the retail rate of many utilities. Since everything is built in and there are no significant maintenance costs, once your Skystream is operating and the wind is blowing, you’ll see an immediate reduction in electricity costs.

Depending on your installed cost, cost of electricity, and average wind speed, Skystream can pay for itself in as little as five years. Some states offer investment incentives in the form of rebates that improve the cost payback. Visit www.skystreamenergy.com or contact your local dealer for more information.

Will Skystream Work for You?

Our goal from the start was to make the free energy in the wind accessible to more people than ever before. Skystream’s compact design and high-efficiency energy production has opened up that opportunity to millions of homes around the world. If your site fits the following criteria, chances are Skystream will work for you:

At least 10 MPH average wind speed (best results at 12 MPH or more)* Your property is at least .5 acre and has unobstructed views The local zoning allows a structure that is at least 42’ tall Your local utility has an existing interconnection agreement for homeowners (Your Skystream dealer can help determine this)
