Small Wind for Homes, Farms & Businesses
The turbine matters.
The site matters more.
Start with the wind.
An open property can make small wind worth investigating. But a windy afternoon is not enough to establish how much electricity a turbine will produce over a year.
Terrell Electric, LLC welcomes small-wind project inquiries and consultation about electrical requirements, site considerations, equipment information, and the next steps in evaluating a proposed installation.
Before You Buy a Turbine
Is the wind resource
suitable at the proposed tower height?
Wind speed, obstructions, terrain, and tower height influence the electricity a small turbine can deliver. Start by evaluating the location—not by choosing equipment from its nameplate.
Open Exposure
Buildings, trees, and terrain can disrupt the airflow reaching a turbine. A site with open exposure is different from a location surrounded by tall obstacles.
Consider the surrounding property as well as the tower footprint.
Wind at Hub Height
The wind where you stand is not necessarily the wind at the turbine. Tower height changes the exposure and must be included in the production assessment.
Nearby weather data can help with screening but should not be treated as a site-specific guarantee.
Consistent Energy, Not Occasional Gusts
A turbine earns its value through useful energy over time. A few strong-wind days do not establish annual production.
Review the wind-speed distribution, seasonal pattern, and expected operating conditions.
Skystream 3.7 Pro
Understand the equipment.
Verify the configuration.
The Skystream 3.7 Pro is marketed for residential and small-business applications with output up to 2.4 kW.
The manufacturer’s product information describes a three-blade turbine with an approximately 12-foot rotor and an integrated grid-feeding electrical configuration.
Before ordering, confirm the current model specifications, approved tower, electrical configuration, included components, warranty terms, and service arrangements in writing.
Product improvements and future-upgrade descriptions are not substitutes for confirming what is actually included in the equipment being purchased.
Tower Height & Turbulence
Lower is not automatically
simpler or more economical.
