Producing up to 150 kWh/month, based
on 5 hours a day of sunshine, this system seamlessly integrates
solar, wind, the grid, and a back-up generator to supply steady power
for your home or
business.
Solar panels
and a wind generator
supply the bulk of the electricity. Your utility grid and the LP
generator work as a back-up. This system is expandable by adding
additional solar panels or wind generators.
This system is grid-assisted, as opposed to
grid-inter tied.
This means that electricity (from grid or wind or solar) is stored in a
bank of batteries
and that the home power system does not feed excess electricity back
into the utility grid.

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 with wind power.
|
Skystream Wind Generator designed by southwest
windpower
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.

|
With a rated capacity of 1.8 kw, Skystream can
provide anywhere from 40 to 100 percent of the total energy needs of
a household or small business. Its, sleek, distinctive 12-foot
diameter swept-wing blades and elegant form make sky stream an
attractive addition to any home. With a guyless tower, Skystream
blends in like a neighborhood street lamp. And because it operates
at a low rpm, Skystream is as quiet as the trees blowing in the
wind.
Skystream can be used in off-grid battery charging
applications that include a bi-directional inverter such as a
Xantrex SW or SW Plus or OutBack FX or VFX inverter. The Skystream
in connected to a breaker in the load center powered by the
inverter. For this type of installation, the wireless remote battery
sensor must be installed to stop the Skystream when the batteries
are fully charged.
An optional two-way remote display unit lets you
control your Skystream when from up to 1000feet (300 meters) away.
You can also monitor performance and download energy performance
data to your personal computer via USB converter.
5-year limited warranty.
