WIND POWER FOR THE REST OF US
There’s a great big electricity source up in the sky. Wind. It’s free, non-polluting, and endless. But until now only a few could tap into it.
Now You Have the Power to Choose
The iPod of Wind Power
Introducing Skystream 3.7® – a new generation small wind turbine that hooks up to your home to help you reduce your monthly electricity costs. It’s the first compact, user-friendly, all-inclusive wind generator (with controls and inverter built in) designed to provide quiet, clean electricity in very low winds.
That’s how a leading publication describes Skystream. 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.
With Skystream, homeowners and small business owners now have the power to choose their electricity source.
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.
I thought we needed to take advantage of the wind. If it’s there, we should capture it and use it. Then you came out with Skystream. It is the perfect solution, the perfect blend of features for the average homeowner. I couldn’t be happier with it. –Rena Wilson Jones, Urbana, IL
®
*Battery charging for home energy back-up systems is also available.
iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. Unlike the iPod, the Skystream is very quiet.
Graceful, Yet Powerful With a rated capacity of 2.4 kW, Skystream can help offset 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.
Skyview wireless monitoring allows you to measure turbine performance on your PC.
Advanced blade and vibration technology assures your Skystream always produces energy efficiently and quietly.
Redundant safety features protect Skystream from high winds without the need for mechanical overrides.

Reduce Your Electricity Bill Skystream is the first all-inclusive small wind turbine specifically designed to help reduce your electric bill. 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.* Some states offer investment incentives in the form of rebates that can lower your startup costs. Visit www.skystreamenergy. com or contact your local dealer for more information. *As with all distributed wind energy systems, performance will vary depending on your site and local wind resource. Contact a dealer for more information.

Will Skystream Work For You? Our goal from the start was to make the free energy in the wind accessible to more people than ever before. Skystream’s compact design and high-efficiency energy
production has opened up that opportunity to millions of homes around the world. If your site fits the following criteria, chances are Skystream will work for you:
At least 10 mph (4.5 m/s) average wind speed. Best results at 12 mph (5.4 m/s) or more* Your property is at least 0.5 acre (0.2 hectare) and has unobstructed views The local zoning allows a structure that is at least 52 ft (16 m) tall Your local utility has an existing interconnection agreement for homeowners (Your local Skystream dealer can help determine this) * Visit www.skystreamenergy.com for wind maps for your area, or consult your local Skystream dealer.

Will Wind Work For You?

Prevailing wind
The most important factors in deciding whether a Whisper wind system is right for you are wind resources and proper siting. Ask yourself the following questions:
2 20 ft (6 m)
3
• Do I have enough wind – at least 9 mph (4 m/s) average? • Do zoning laws allow the use of towers? • Do I have enough land – 1/2 acre (0.2 hectare) or more?
A properly sited Whisper wind generator must be placed 20 ft (6 m) above any surrounding object within a 250 ft (76 m) radius.
Harness the power of wind.
Towers Designed specifically for the Whisper 100 and 200, economical guyed tower kits install in as little as four hours. All hardware is included (pipe and anchors are available from your local hardware store or Whisper dealer). Other tower options are available, such as lattice towers.
