Whisper 500 - Wind Turbine  3 kW Southwest WindPower Residential Wind Generator Spec Sheet 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. Serious power from a medium size small wind turbine! The Whisper 500 Can produce enough energy to power an entire home. Formerly the Whisper 175, the Whisper 500 was completely redesigned in 2004 to work in harsh high wind environments. The Whisper 500 is a two bladed fiberglass reinforced blade and incorporates the patented side furling design that optimizes output at any wind speed. Assuming a 12 mph (5.4 m/s) wind, a Whisper 500 will produce as much as 500 kWh per month. That is enough energy to power the average California home. The Whisper 500 is NOT for the do-it-yourself novice. Installation of the turbine requires concrete foundations and at times a crane to lift the wind turbine into place. Why small wind? Solar and wind resources often compliment each other. Generally when it is sunny it is calm and when it is cloudy it is windy. This complimentary effect is even greater during seasonal changes. During the winter and spring when the sun is at its least exposure, the wind is at it highest. A Whisper 500 during these periods is essential to keep your batteries charged and your lights on. Exclusive to the Whisper, the side-furling Angle-Governor protects the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of the wind, reducing turbine exposure. Unlike other wind turbines that lose as much as 80% of their output when furled, the Angle-Governor allows the Whisper to achieve maximum output in any wind.

Technological wonder of the decade!  The SkyStream 3.7TM 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.
