New Wind Generator offers viable energy source for the home
“This new technology is an important step forward for small wind."
“As technology becomes more efficient at harnessing energy at low wind speeds, small-scale users will become more and more able to take advantage of wind power.”
- Robert Thresher, director of NREL’s National Wind Technology Center

Flagstaff, Arizona - A combination of new technologies, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory over a three year period, has resulted in a product that is the first viable energy appliance that will wind your power consumption backwards when plugged into the grid and has the potential to make wind energy for the homeowner main-stream.
The Skystream produces electricity for a fraction of the cost of current technologies and is directly connected to the home energy supply, supplementing power from the electric utility company and enabling electricity to be produced for sale to the utility or used at a later date.
