Small wind electric systems are one of the most cost-effective, home-based renewable energy systems. These systems are also nonpolluting.

 

If a small wind electric system is right for you, it can do the following:

 

Lower your electricity bills by 50–90%

Help you avoid the high costs of having utility power lines extended to a remote location

Help uninterruptible power supplies ride through extended utility outages.

 

Small wind electric systems can also be used for a variety of other applications, including water pumping on farms and ranches.
