What does this mean for the average homeowner? FREE ELECTRICAL POWER!
On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Re-investment Act of 2009 into law. With a significant emphasis on renewable energy technology deployment and job expansion, the bill improved upon the 2008 tax credit, by removing “cost caps.” This change allows consumers and small businesses to take a 30% tax credit off the installed cost of a wind turbine. To a consumer or business purchasing a single 2.4KW residential wind turbine, it will double their credit. Additionally, businesses will also have the option of receiving their credit in the form of a cash grant. Read our FAQ on all the How's and Why's regarding this outstanding opportunity and what it means for YOU!
Whisper wind turbines feature a patented side furling angle governor to protect the turbine in high winds by turning the alternator and blades out of the wind. Other features include field adjustable voltage, a four bearing spindle for efficiency, upgraded yaw and a new bushing for smoother operation. Voltage is factory set at 24 VDC and is adjustable to 12/36/48 VDC. High voltage versions of the Whisper 200 and 500 produce 220 VAC transmitting to a step down transformer that changes it to nominal system voltage (transformer sold separately). High voltage versions are used in applications where there is a long distance from the turbine to the batteries.
Every Whisper 100 and 200 comes with the Whisper Charge Controller except for "HV" and pump models. The SCR-based shunt type controller, housed in a single unit, is dedicated to wind only. LED lights indicate regulations operation and Power On. Other features include individually rectified phases, battery/turbine shunt isolation, quiet diversion-powered fan, a large heat sink and easy access block connectors for turbine and battery wires.
The marine versions, designed for coastal and offshore applications, feature powder coating for corrosion protection, stainless steel hardware, marine grade wire and watertight housings, 5 year warranty. More information is available in the following links to get more details about the Whisper 100, 200, or 500.
AIR is the world's best selling series of small wind generators. Southwest Wind power is committed to continuous refinement of our products. Since the AIR line of products was introduced in 1995, we have made vast improvements, resulting in today's Air Breeze and Air X.
Air Breeze is the most refined, quietest and powerful AIR turbine yet. We recommend Air Breeze for all small battery-charging applications such as sailboats, RVs, remote cabins and offshore platforms.
Minimize down times and reduce operating costs with an AIR Industrial wind turbine. Based on the world’s best selling wind turbine, the AIR Industrial has been designed to survive the harshest mountain-top and offshore sites. When the AIR Industrial is combined with a solar array, you will experience a more consistent power supply by evening-out seasonal changes and weather fluctuations. No need for a separate tower! The AIR’s low wind loading and light-weight design allow it to be mounted on existing structures within a few hours. In summary:
- More consistent power supply
- Reduced operating cost
- Reduced transportation costs
- Reduced wind loading
- Minimal space requirements
- Turbine is approved, emits no electrical interference
- Regulator is UL Listed and complies with EU directive 89/336/EEC for electromagnetic compatibility
- Simple installation Micro wind turbine generators are a great solution for small energy requirements on a great many various projects from marine use to outdoor lighting and the list goes on and on...
If your project is located where you receive plenty of wind then we have a solution that will give you plenty of power where you need it and when you need it!
Wind is the single most popular renewable energy in the country with systems being deployed in a great many places for a great many energy needs and with the government stimulus bill on renewable energy NOW is the time to take full advantage of getting a system for your electrical supply needs more than ever!
