The word on the street is that you can not do anything about the weather. However with the new wind generator called the Skystream, this may just be a myth. This new generator is a small residential generator that converts wind energy into clean and safe energy for your home. This allows you to create your own independent energy source for your home.
Skystream is perfect for use in your backyard. It harnesses the wind in there an converts it into much needed power. It does this quietly and efficiently. The best part is that it puts you in control of your own energy. It helps you save on electricity costs by between 30% to 80% as well as being environmentally friendly. When you install this you can kiss rising utility costs goodbye as yours will forever be the same.
This home wind generator is a 2.4 kW and is designed to produce wind power in very low wind situations. Within the housing just outside the three blades you will find the alternator, the converter and the sound isolator that reduces the noise from being transferred to the tower that holds up the turbine. The diameter of the blades is 12 feet. You can expect it to generate about 400 kW per month in average wind speeds of 12 miles per hour. It comes with a five year warranty.
The installation process is very simple and only takes a few days for the turbine to be fully operational. It is all done by the contractor and you as a home owner you do not have to do anything. Electricity flows from the Skystream generator to your house underground in a 220V wire. This wire is connected to a safety Windmill Disconnect switch, then into your main breaker box and then into your house. As soon as it is connected you do not have to do anything else.
When the wind generator is operational and producing power, the system is set up to use the wind energy power first. Should more power be required it then draws from the power lines. This ensures that you are always with power, regardless of the wind situation outside your home. In situations where you have a power surplus from the Skystream, this is pumped back into the utility lines and pushes back the meter. This energy is available for use later or you can get credited by your local power company.
There is a software that monitors energy output and use called Skyview. This software is downloaded onto your laptop and is connected to the generator using a wireless transmitter at the top of the wind tower. As you can see this small wind generator provides a practical alternative energy solution. It is time you take control of your own energy by harnessing the wind that you already have in your backyard. You may even be eligible for a 30% federal tax credit if you are in the United States.
