The Skystream 3.7T residential wind generator was designed to offer small-scale users a clean, renewable energy supplement. The low-profile wind machine harnesses energy at low wind speeds, does not use batteries, and is connected directly to the home power supply. When the wind is not blowing, the home is supplied by the electric utility. When the wind generator provides excess energy, some local utilities will buy back the excess power or offer it at a later date. The generator can produce 40 to 90 percent of an average home's energy needs and pay for itself in 5-12 years.
