Wind power systems, also referred to as wind turbines, are highly reliable and come in a wide range of sizes. Wind energy was historically used for pumping water from wells, but with modern technology wind power systems generate clean, affordable electricity.
Wind turbines range in size from small wind turbines (1kw-5kw) for residential and small business use to large five megawatt wind turbines designed for use in utility-scale wind farms. Many rural residents across the country successfully utilize small wind turbines to power their homes.
 Modern wind turbines have improved significantly in recent years with increased reliability and higher efficiency, including small wind turbines designed for use in residential applications.
Wind power systems that are correctly designed and installed can provide clean, reliable electricity and represent one of the most cost-effective sources of renewable energy.
Wind Power Benefits
Eliminate the rising cost of electricity - avoid the rising costs of electric power from utility companies by producing your own power.
Incentives, tax credits and rebates - there are currently federal and state tax credits and utility companies’ rebates available for wind power systems.
Sell excess power to the utility - in many states, you can sell your excess power back into the grid at retail rates with a grid-tie wind turbine.
Generate clean power - electricity produced from wind turbines produces no harmful pollution or emissions.
Gain power independence - rely on your own generating capacity, and not on a utility company.
Ensure reliable power - enjoy uninterrupted power during blackouts with the use of a battery backup system. |
