Skystream-3.7 2.4KW, 240 Voltage 3.7 Land wind turbine 240V, 60Hz
FIVE YEAR WARRANTY
Skystream is the first wind-powered, grid connected Residential Power Appliance that produces electricity for less than the retail rate of many utilities. Since everything is built in and there are no significant maintenance costs, once your Skystream is operating and the wind is blowing, you’ll see an immediate reduction in electricity costs.
Depending on your installed cost, cost of electricity, and average wind speed, Skystream can pay for itself in as little as five years. Some states offer investment incentives in the form of rebates that improve the cost payback. Visit www.skystreamenergy.com or contact your local dealer for more information.
With a rated capacity of 2.4 kW, Skystream can provide anywhere from 40%-90%* of a household or small business’s total energy needs. Its sleek, distinctive swept-wing blades and elegant form make Skystream 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.
*Actual savings is based on windspeed at the site and monthly energy consumption.
Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Skystream was designed from the start for homeowners looking for a quiet, convenient, affordable way to protect themselves from ever increasing electricity costs.
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.
*Battery charging for home energy back-up systems is also available.
