GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM WIND

Wind turbines harness the energy of wind and convert it to electricity. Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity.

The Skystream 3.7 wind generator 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 could spin backwards—giving you credit for a later date.
