In our experience with our Skystream, which sits about 125' from the house on a 45' monopole tower, we rarely notice the sound coming from it. Once in a while if you listen close you can hear the hum it makes when the wind is really cranking out side, but otherwise we usually don't even notice it's there. A grand total of 0 kilowatt hours of electricity bought yesterday! Not too bad for working out of my home office and my computer, music and peripherals going the entire time. Not to mention the typical stuff in the house pulling juice the whole day long.

I like the way my turbines look, I like that I am doing something proactive to reduce my electric cost, and I like most of all that in my own small way I am doing my part reducing the use of fossil fuels.

Price was a leading factor. Actual projected savings and payback on our investment were also big concerns. Aesthetics also played a part in our decision and we thought the Skystream structure itself was very attractive to look at. We felt our neighbors would not consider it an eyesore either. Of course, we want to try to help the environment, what with all the news reports all about going "green" and we wanted to be a part of that movement. We also believe that if/when we ever retire and sell the house, having a wind turbine up and running and saving on electric bills would be a big plus to any future owners.

Pierre and Susan Marcotte | Hastings, MI

The Marcotte family was searching for wind power for several years. We were looking to offset the power that our geothermal heating system uses. We discovered the Skystream 3.7 in June of 2006. We installed the unit in the fall of that year and we discovered that the power it generated reduced our energy bill by 20 percent over one year. We enjoy watching our energy bill going down every month. So far this year 2008 we produced 487 KWh we are well on are way to break last year’s KWh produced. We love to here the weather man say that it going to be windy day tomorrow. That’s money in our pocket and we smile going to the bank.

With so many issues around global warming, I wondered what I could do to impact the environment in a measurable way, besides activities like recycling and installing compact fluorescent light bulbs. I was hoping that something would come along to help a homeowner take advantage of natural wind resources. It’s been a lifetime dream of mine. Until now there was not a technology that made this possible. With Skystream, now it is possible.

Chad Monteith | Rogersville MO

For many years I have been interested in harnessing the power of the wind. I have always been fascinated with the idea of using the wind, which is available most anywhere, to make a light bulb shine or a television operate. I decided on Southwest Power (Skystream) for a few reasons:

1. The company has local representatives and I found that extremely helpful in answering my general questions.
2. The cost was somewhat affordable.
3. The product is highly regarded with insiders and owners across the internet.
4. A person in the neighboring town has a Skystream installed and I visited with him to confirm the quality of the windmill.

The overall install took a week, which was mostly time for the concrete to set properly. After the concrete is ready, and the wiring is laid, this is a 2-4 hour install at most. We love our windmill so much, we named him ‘Sparky’. He’s doing a great job.

I’m a pleased customer. I really enjoy our Skystream because I know when it is windy out, it’s using that wind. We’re interested in the environment. It just seemed like it would be good for the earth and take a little bit of strain off the grid. I’d do it again. We’re seriously thinking about putting another one up. Aesthetically it is very nice. I love my wind turbine.

Bayview poultry

Masstown, NS Canada
Three Skystreams installed October 2007

The three Skystream 3.7 turbines are generating a substantial portion of the power needed to run the 12,000-chicken farm, which produces 10,000 eggs a day. Wind power marketing tie-ins include egg cartons, delivery vehicle graphics and signage.

Energy savings:
The three Skystream 3.7 turbines are generating 50-75 per cent of the power needed to run the farm.

 

 

 

Fosters Inc.

Motel, store, bakery and restaurant
Bryce, Utah
Three Skystream 3.7 turbines installed February 2007

“The turbines are not only functional and generate power, but here in my commercial location, they bring in customers. They pull people off the road,” says Neil Foster, owner. “I passed up several newspaper opportunities just because I have been too busy to follow up on them.”

Increased business:
“A road sign costs $60,000 or so, but the wind turbines, at $12,000 each, draw in as much business as the road sign.”

Savings:

Up to $400 per month in reduced demand charges plus kWh savings.

Brick Ridge Restaurant

Mount Airy, MD
Skystream installed October 2008

A Skystream 3.7 wind turbine at a Maryland restaurant helps reduce electric costs and brings in plenty of publicity. The exposure Skystream has brought to the Brick Ridge Restaurant in Mount Airy, MD, is already paying off. “The wind turbine is obviously an investment, but an investment with a return. Being on the front page of several local newspapers is priceless,” says Todd Bricken, owner.

Impact

Increased business:
200+ drop-ins in first month; expected long-term increase in business.
