Solar Power/Wind Power

Intelligent people generate their own electricity and reduce their dependence on an increasingly unreliable utility grid. Even a small system will “slow the meter down”, reducing your monthly electric bill while paying for itself at the same time. A larger system may ”turn the meter backwards”, so that excess power is sold back to the utility. Producing your own power is not only satisfying, but can protect you during a power failure as well.

Our Solar & Wind Power Systems have helped many people take advantage of free, clean energy from the sun. A solar or wind system will let you enjoy lights at the flick of a switch, the convenience of running water and the pleasure of music at your remote residence.

Designed to make installation simple and fast. Whether you install it yourself, or have your electrician do it for you, our Systems have everything you will need and since they are modular, your system is never obsolete. It is easy to expand your system by adding components.

How a Solar System works

When sunlight shines onto solar panels, our advanced technology transforms the light into DC electricity. That DC electricity is then converted to AC electricity that is used throughout your home. During the day, if your solar system produces more electricity than is used in your home, the extra electricity produced is fed into the utility grid generating a credit on your electric bill. When this happens, you'll be able to see your utility meter actually spin backwards. At night, electricity is automatically drawn from the grid to provide your home with the power you need.

Battery option

With batteries added to your BP Solar Home Solution™ extra electricity produced by your system is captured in the high capacity batteries for later use. This option is a perfect solution for homes that do not have easy access to a utility grid or are located in areas that experience frequent outages.

When your local electrical grid shuts down for any reason, including rolling blackouts or storm damage, any home solar system without batteries must shut down as well. This safety precaution prevents random surges of power from traveling the grid and causing injury or damage. However, if battery backup is included in your system you won't experience this inconvenience. When a power outage occurs in your area, your solar system will disconnect itself from the grid and draw power from the batteries. When grid power returns to normal, the system automatically reconnects.

Grid-Connected Homes
Many people generate their own electricity and reduce their dependence on an increasingly unreliable utility grid. A small solar system will “slow the meter down”, reducing the monthly hydro bill. A larger system may ”turn the meter backwards”, so that during the day, excess power is sold back to the utility. Producing your own power is not only satisfying, but can protect you during a power failure as well.

Basic Grid Tie: A solar array produces power during the day, and an inverter synchronizes this power with that supplied by the utility. Your home uses solar energy first, and draws whatever else it needs from your utility. At night, the utility supplies 100% of your power.

Grid Tie + Backup: Your solar system functions the same way as a basic grid tie system, delivering power to your home during the day. But your system also has battery storage. In the event of grid power failure, your inverter switches to battery power to supply your home’s needs. This keeps your important equipment running during outages or brownouts.

U.S. State Rebate Programs
If you have determined that you have a proper location and you have a wind resource that is at least 9 mph, you will need to ensure that your state allows the connection of a small wind turbine into the grid and perhaps offers incentives.

More than half the States in the Union offer incentives of one type of another. These range from no tax on renewables to discounts on the Whisper Link system by up to 70 percent! The Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) then select your state to see what programs are available. Incentives are not critical but they can significantly reduce cost of your wind system. Most important in this issue is what is known as Net Metering. For a small wind system to be practical, a Net Metering law must be in place.

Is Wind Right For Me?

Southwest Wind Power is the world’s largest producer of small wind turbines. You can find them used on everything from remote cabins to sailboats and other applications including utility connected homes.

According to the U.S. Census, more than 17 million homes in America are located on land that is appropriate for a small wind system. Could your home be one?

Important factors to consider when using wind as an energy source for your house.

DO I HAVE A GOOD SITE? Siting a wind generator is extremely important to the performance of the machine. It is the difference between a machine that give you lots of energy and a garden sculpture. The ideal location for a wind turbine is 20’ above any surrounding object within a 250 foot radius. This generally means your property should be at least ½ acre or larger in size.

DO I HAVE THE RIGHT WIND RESOURCE? Wind is the “fuel” for your wind generator. You should have at least a 9 MPH average wind speed at your location.. There are several wind maps for most States which will give you an idea of the wind resource at your house. Some states have even more accurate interactive wind maps. Check out these maps and see if you have the right wind resource. You should live in a “Class One” or better site.

If you cannot find your wind resource on the map, there are other ways.

Contact the closest weather, TV or radio station and ask them for an idea of the average wind in their area. Wind patterns can change over short distances.

Introducing SkyStream 3.7^TM
Wind Energy Goes Mainstream with a New Residential, Small Wind Generator!
Technological wonder of the decade! The SkyStream 3.7^TM uses latest 21st Century Technology to help homeowners take control of skyrocketing energy costs with clean, renewable energy!

A new small residential home wind generator from Southwest Wind Power will give homeowners a new weapon in the fight against rising electricity costs. SkyStream 3.7™ is the first fully integrated wind generator designed specifically for the grid-connected residential market.

A combination of new technologies, developed in collaboration with
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, resulted in a product that quietly produces electricity for a fraction of the cost of current technologies. SkyStream’s low cost and low profile provides homeowners an affordable energy supplement that’s appropriate for installation in many residential areas around the country. With no batteries, SkyStream 3.7 connects directly to the home to supply power. When the wind is not blowing, the home is powered by the electric utility. Depending on the local utility, excess electricity can be sold back to the utility or used at a later date.

Andrew Kruse, co-founder of SouthWest WindPower:
“SkyStream will change the way many Americans power their homes and take control of their energy costs.”

“Wind energy for the individual homeowner is finally main-stream.” 21st Century Technology personal energy is yours.

Nature provides us with abundant free energy. Wise people are taking advantage of that and are already improving their financial and personal security with this new 'Technological Wonder of the Decade!' Personal wind power helps the environment too. Save on your purchase: See financial incentives below.

Smart people generate their own electricity, reduce their power bill dramatically, while their system pays for itself at the same time. That is like filling your car up with gas, and the pump automatically deducts half the the price of your gasoline purchase. We know of no other product that will do that.

Even a small system will “slow the meter down”, reducing your monthly electric bill while paying for itself at the same time. A larger system may ”turn the meter backwards”, so that excess power is sold back to the utility. Producing your own power is not only satisfying, but can protect you during a power failure as well.

SkyStream 3.7 Foundation Guidelines

SkyStream 3.7 can pay for itself in as little as 5 years! This payback period will vary and can be much quicker in states with investment rebates (see http://www.dsireusa.org/ at bottom of this webpage for financial incentives)! Its power production then becomes your very own, independent enterprise.

It is anticipated that SkyStream 3.7 will save the average homeowner $500 to $800+ per year, based on 4,800 to 6,700 kWh produced per year and a $0.12/kWh cost of electricity.
This output would provide 40 to 90 percent of an average home’s energy needs. In states like Hawaii, where the cost of energy and wind speeds are both high, SkyStream 3.7 can pay for itself in less than 4 years.

“This new technology is an important step forward for small wind power,” said Robert Thresher, director of NREL’s National Wind Technology Center. “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.”
