Introduction:
The first & only small grid connected wind turbine duly tested for "Power Performance" as per IEC 61400-12-1 & for
"Safety & Functional Test" as per IEC 61400-2 by Germanischer Lloyd.
The first small wind generator designed specially for utility connected residential use.
Skystream 3.7TM allows all buildings located in average to medium windy areas to harness wind energy, supplement
their mains electricity and drastically reduce electricity bills.
Payback:
A wind power engineering breakthrough, the investment on Skystream allows electricity generation at a lower cost
than many power utility companies. Pay back period in good windy areas can be as low as 5 years.
Power generation:
Skystream has a built in micro-processor controlled grid tie inverter, which connects to your residential power line &
feeds power, matching voltage, frequency & phase. It is designed to generate at low wind speeds.
Environment aspect:
Skystream, requires low tower height (10.6m) & thus maintains a low profile on the sky line.
It is exceptionally silent in operation. It's sound is unrecognizable over trees blowing in the wind.
Installation:
Clean, unobstructed wind is best for Skystream. The top of the tower should be a minimum of 20 feet (6 meter)
above any surrounding object within 300 foot (91 meter) radius.
