THE IPOD® OF WIND POWER:
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.

HOW IT WORKS:
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.

Different from all other technologies, Skystream 3.7™ is the first all-inclusive wind generator with built-in controls and inverter.
Skystream 3.7™ is specifically designed for utility-connected home and business use. In certain states consumers can take advantage of “net-metering” or the sale of unused energy back to the power grid.

EXCEPTIONAL IN LOW WIND
Designed for very low winds, Skystream 3.7™ begins producing power in an 8mph (3.5m/s) breeze with full output achieved at 20mph (9m/s).
LOW PROFILE
Skystream 3.7™ can be mounted on a 35’ (10.4 meters) tower. This means a vast number of households on one-acre or larger lots will now have access to residential, utility-connected wind energy. Towers up to 70’ (21.3 meters) are available.
EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET OPERATION
Skystream 3.7™ operates exceptionally quiet. In fact, Skystream’s sound is unrecognizable over trees blowing in the wind.
