Wind Turbines for Homes and Businesses

There has been a proliferation of wind turbines that are visible from freeways in certain locations, and there is a good reason for that: Wind turbines are cost-effective wind power generators when conditions are favorable.

If conditions are favorable at your home or business site, you, too, can take advantage of wind power. “Favorable conditions” means average annual wind speed above 7 mph if it is your intention to generate power for your home or business.

Just Want to Pump Water from Your Well?

You can use photovoltaic panels or wind power, provided your site gets an annual average wind speed of 7 mph.

Our systems can pump water from wells more than 500 ft. deep without the use of batteries.  Even a small breeze will yield some power.

Wind Turbines for Home Power and for Pumping Water are not the same

We offer a wide range of wind turbines for different applications. Everything from small units that are roof-mounted, to units large enough they can power an entire home. A variety of mountings are also offered – from guy wire pole mounts, to freestanding units that can be retracted for service.

Location, Location, Location

If you think that your site has good wind exposure, give us a call. A feasibility study may be required.

On-the-Grid or Off-Grid – it’s Your Choice

Wind power is also used in off-grid applications to supply energy to storage batteries. However, the system can also be designed to feed back into the utility grid.

See our Resources (link) page of how that works.
