How does Skystream work?
Skystream is a wind generator installed on top of a tower that converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electricity to be used in a home’s electrical system. In a typical residential application, a home is served simultaneously by the Skystream and a local utility. If the wind speeds are below “cut-in speed” (8 mph) there will be no output from the generator and all of the needed power is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds increase, the Skystream’s output increases and the amount of power purchased from the utility is proportionately decreased. When the Skystream produces more power than the house needs, the meter spins backwards creating a “credit” that can be used later. All of this is done automatically without any interaction by the homeowner. Batteries are not required with Skystream.

The Skystream wind generator is installed on top of a tower that converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electricity to be used in a home’s electrical system. In a typical residential application, a home is served simutaneously by the Skystream and a local utility. If the wind speeds are below “cut-in speed” (8 mph) there will be no output from the generator and all of the needed power is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds increase, Skystream’s output increases and the amount of power purchased from the utility is decreased.
