Wind Power

All wind systems consist of a wind turbine, a tower, wiring, controller, inverter, and batteries. By investing in a small wind system, you can reduce your exposure to future fuel shortages and price increases and reduce pollution. Deciding whether to purchase a wind system, however, can be complicated; there are many factors to consider. But if you have the right set of circumstances, we can help you design a wind energy system that can provide you with many years of cost-effective, clean, and reliable electricity.

Hybrid Wind Systems

According to many renewable energy experts, a stand-alone "hybrid" system that combines wind and photovoltaic (PV) technologies offers several advantages over either single system. In much of the United States, wind speeds are low in the summer when the sun shines brightest and longest. The wind is strong in the winter when there is less sunlight available. Because the peak operating times for wind and PV occur at different times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need it.

For the times when neither the wind generator nor the PV modules are producing electricity (for example, at night when the wind is not blowing), most stand-alone systems provide power through batteries and/or an engine-generator powered by fossil fuels.
