IS WIND RIGHT FOR ME? – There are four important factors to consider using wind as an energy source for your house.

1. DO I HAVE A GOOD SITE? Siting a wind generator is extremely important to the performance of the machine. It is the difference between a machine that give you lots of energy and a garden sculpture. The ideal location for a wind turbine is 20 feet above any surrounding object within a 250 foot radius. This generally means your property should be at least one acre in size.

2. DO I HAVE THE RIGHT WIND RESOURCE? Wind is the “fuel” for your wind generator. You should have at least a 12MPH average wind speed at your location.

3. WHAT ARE MY LOCAL LAWS: The next step is to determine if you have any local laws from a Home Owner’s Association or City or County that prohibit the use of towers. Remember, the tower must be 20 feet above any surrounding object, if it is not, then performance will be lower.

4. WHAT  PROGRAMS DOES MY UTILITY OFFER? By law, the local utility (company you pay your electrical bill to) must accept any excess electricity from you. Locate your electrical bill and then find the number for customer service. Ask them for a copy of the policy relating to “connecting a renewable energy system to the electrical grid”.

A small wind system can offset your your monthly electrical expense!

 

'Better Than New'

Repowered Mid-Scale Wind Turbines

Time tested and completely rebuilt. These 65 and 108 Kw size turbines are the perfect answer for commercial/industrial sites, farms and ranches, schools, and other private or municipal applications. As larger megawatt-class machines replace the (now) mid-scale machines of the 1980's and 90's, they become available to supply power elsewhere across the nation. Wind turbines are like aircraft - each can be stripped down to the airframe and rebuilt, yielding another 20 years or more of production. Each of our rebuilt machines come from the California wind fields, Where they were 'flying' days before we bought them. We hand select the best machines from the field, and rebuild them using newer technologies than before, making them 'Better Than New'. Each machine comes with a 1 year all parts and labor warranty, and extended 3 and 5 year plans are available. Prices for our rebuilt machines are up to 50% lower than new turbines, creating a very economic investment.
