Skystream™ 3.7 Grid Tie
2400W Wind Generator
120/240Vac 60Hz

 

BEFORE CONTACTING US ABOUT THIS PRODUCT CLICK HERE

Skystream 3.7™ is a breakthrough in a new generation of RPA’s (Residential Power Appliances) that will change the energy landscape of how homes and small businesses receive electricity. Skystream is the first fully integrated system that produces energy for less than the average cost of electricity in the United States and it produces usable energy in exceptionally low winds.1  Skystream is available on towers ranging from 35’ (10.67m) to 110’ (33.5m).2  Its universal inverter will deliver power compatible with any 120/240VAC utility grid.  Skystream will efficiently and silently provide up to 100% of the energy needs for a home or small business. Any extra energy is fed into the grid spinning the meter backwards.4

From an electrical standpoint the Skystream is simple to install.  Since the inverter is integrated into the nacelle at the top of the tower a single set of wires can be directly connected to your ac electrical system.  No battery bank is required.  Click the thumbnail below to see how simple it is to connect the Skystream.

Enjoy the benefits of utility power while reducing your electric bill every time the wind blows! It’s been a dream of many homeowners and now it is possible.  Skystream can significantly reduce or even eliminate your monthly electrical bill. 

Keep in mind, these systems are not for everyone. If you live in an urban or city environment or if your State does not allow the use of small systems to connect to the grid then it is likely a grid-tied wind system will not work for you. However, according to U.S. census data, there are more than 17 million homes in America that could use a Whisper Link system. Is your home one of them?

Is the Skystream right for me?  If you are unsure, then review the criteria below and also our wind information page (click here for our wind information page) for more details.


SITE CRITERIA

1. Adequate Wind Resource:  Average wind speed of at least 10 mph.  See wind maps on our wind information page.  You can also put up wind instrumentation to measure the wind resource at your site.  Click here for our wind information page and our wind measurement instrumentation.
2. Minimal Obstructions:  Top of tower should be a minimum of 20 feet higher than any surrounding object within a 300 foot radius.
3. Suitable Zoning:  Tower must comply with local zoning regulations and any Home Owner Association rules.  A building permit may be required for tower and electrical work.
4. Utility Interconnection:  Local utility must allow for grid interconnection.  The 1979 Federal PURPA act requires power companies to accommodate small generator interconnections.  Contact your local power company for any special requirements.
5. Electricity Cost:  For wind power to be competitive your utility company should be charging at least $0.10/kWh.  Review your electricity bill and divide total cost by total kWh.
