Residential Wind Turbines

These new patent pending rooftop mount kits that I am building are great. The profile is pretty sleek and attractive and the systems leverage wind and solar together in a hybrid system. The system is actually a home appliance and doesn't really stand out much more than an antennae, chimney, or satellite dish. This makes a nice clean way for homeowners to get into the clean energy movement. The systems are inexpensive, easy to install and scaleable.

These systems have wind/solar built right in. They come with solar panels that you can wire it right in. Since your wind is stronger in the winter months, sun is stronger in the summer months, we designed a system that is attractively priced, that gives as even flow of energy as possible year round. Wind power scales down in size to be perfectly feasible for a homeowner sized system to provide power for your home. Whether you just power a few appliances or the whole house, we can design a system for you.

I have used these systems to save money on electricity costs and that's what I do for others. Most systems pay for themselves in 7 to 10 years and they last for 25 or 30 years before needing a rebuild. We put together complete system kits of matching components. Takes all the guesswork out of it.

Anyone wanting a small wind turbine, fill out the contact form and I can connect you with the dealer for your area. There are still areas open in most states for new dealers but many counties and a few entire states are taken up and several people are saying they are going to get their territory. So, if you are interested in becoming a dealer fill out the same form and we can see if your area may still be open.

I'll send you some info by email. The complete kits start at $2450 and go up from there depending on how much power you would need and what your budget may be. Thanks for your interest in our systems.; ▶ Reply to This

You're not planning on selling these to the everyday paycheck to paycheck worker who would, most likely, benefit the most from the savings, are you?
Here's what I feel is happening: You want all this support for this renewable energy. You want us to rally, spread the word, get people involved, go to all the effort to write letters to get legislation changed....and for what?
Would I, myself, ever be able to afford one of your wind turbine kits? NO.
Would any of my neighbors....probably not.
Perhaps you should screen your members by their income because these turbines sure aren't priced to sell to the majority of the population.
I wholeheartedly agree with the Pickens Plan concept but I'm having trouble digesting the outrageous prices you're asking for these kits!!
Pay attention! If you're wondering why more people aren't jumping on this bandwagon....I can guarantee you, the unaffordability of what we're fighting for is the reason we aren't more enthusiastic.
All this brings to mind the old American adage; 'The rich get richer........'
Best of luck to you.

Sure, you are right, not all can afford these systems, but just like owning a home or any other long term investment that makes sense, not all can buy their own home. Doesn't make it a bad idea or bad investment for those who can afford it. Nor should we go about advising that no-one should buy a home because many cannot afford it. Sound long term investments make sense for those who can afford them. It does take 7 to 10 years for most people to recoup the investment.

I too wish all could afford to put in the systems. I myself sold one of my cars to finance my first prototype systems at my home. So, as far as "Rich get Richer" that's not my situation for sure and the amount of profit after manufacturing and supporting such a high quality system will not be making ME rich for a long long time. The fact I sold one of my cars to finance my first system is a testament to how strongly I believe in the investment and technology that I have developed. We are a blue collar company and for me, it's not about being a rich guy throwing money around to make more.

I believe in this and promote it based on what it does for me. In a few years I am sure that like all other new and wonderful technology, the costs will come down with volume over time. Then more people can jump in.; ▶ Reply to This

Is that machine about a meter in diameter? If so, we can call it about 50kWh/month in a class 3. That's 600kWh per year at, say, twelve cents per kWh, or $72 per year in production......even if we use a pretty steep inflation rate for grid-produced electricity, I still can't figure out how you come up with 7 to 10 years.

Please clarify....a power curve, estimated energy production, and a cash flow model would go a long way towards supporting your claims. Thanks in advance.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm sure you among a few competitors with Skystream?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Home Wind Turbine on October 21, 2009 at 10:20pm: I have WindEnergy7 dealers who own Skystreams. If WE7 systems weren't better, a Skystream owner would have no interest in buyng one and becoming a dealer. I'm not going to go and run Skystream down at all. Skystream is simply less system for the money and not as capable in my experience. Home Wind Turbine Kits

But Skystream is a good system if you have lots of money and don't mind being without power when the utility company goes down. Most people don't realize that a Skystream will not provide your home with power in a grid outage. ALL my systems do that. I would never design or sell a Grid Dependant system that is down when the utility goes down... My favorite line I heard from a Skystream owner once. "I thought I had an alternative energy system. But when the grid had an outage, there was no alternative energy at all, my Skystream was just no use in the black out."

With WindEnergy7 systems, when the grid goes down, blackout, your alarm clocks won't even reset.

Skystream has no solar at all. I would never design a wind system that had no solar support. I love windpower but as a home energy system it's too inconsistant by itself. What do you do in a summer day with no wind? My systems are all hybrid, wind/solar capable. I don't recommend solar only RE systems, or wind only RE systems. Wind and Solar work seamlessly hand in hand in all WindEnergy7 systems. This is another main point why for the money you spend on a Skystream, you can get a more powerful system that is a more consistant power source for a residence. Day/Night, No Wind, Emergency Power, Energy Security.

WindEnergy7 gives a home 4 sources of power, Wind, Solar, UPS Battery Back-up, and Grid, seamlessly, for about same cost as a Skystream. It's just way more capable and well rounded home energy. We can even tie in a standby tri-fuel generator to fire automatically if needed.; ▶ Reply to This
