Let the Wind Pay Your Electric Bill & Save the Planet at the same time!

 

	Massachusetts has some of the highest electric rates in the country and substantial rate increases are coming in the years ahead.  But, you can insulate your family or business from surging electric rates by installing your own wind power generator.
	The best part is the State could pay for approximately half of it!  The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) is now offering substantial grants towards the cost of installing a small wind system.  This is one of the best clean energy incentive programs in the country.
	A full program description and step-by-step instructions are available from the MTC Small renewables Initiative web site (click here).
	With a MTC grant, the payback may be in as little as 7 -10 years!  But, remember, you will be paying the money anyway - to the utility company.  Financially, buying a home wind system is vastly superior to just purchasing all your electricity from the power company. It's like the difference between renting a home and buying a home.  So, rather than calling it a "pay back period", it would be more accurate to call it a "payment transfer period".  At the end you have free electricity.
	Our dealers offer full turnkey installations services and they can assist with your grant applications.  For a list of our Massachusetts dealers - Click here
	A small wind system will provide you with a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free - depending on your usage and wind resource.  This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment!  Compare that to 4% from a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or even negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years.

	A small wind system really helps the environment!  Over its minimum 30 year operating life, a Bergey residential/farm wind system in Massachusetts will save approximately 430,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 3,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide, and 1,000 pounds of nitrogen dioxide that would have been produced by the utility's fossil fuel power plants.  It is the equivalent of planting 2 acres of trees or taking 1.25 vehicles off the road.
	Our most popular package, and the best selling home and farm wind system in America, is the 10 kW Excel-S "GridTek" system.  Click here to jump to a description.

	Modest wind resources are fine for small wind systems. Wind resources are sufficient in most parts of New York. In some places they are excellent. See the map connection below to determine your wind resource.
	Wind Resource Maps: TrueWind has prepared a detailed digital wind map for several Northeast states, including Massachusetts. The map is more detailed than the old US-DOE map and it provides the wind resource at a height of 30m (100 ft), which is typical for a small wind system.  To see the new map, click here.  You can enlarge the map on-screen to see better detail for your location. To see the old US-DOE map, click here. The MTC has also prepared an extensive wind resource reference page that also allows you to access interactive database maps and other useful resources. We recommend this site - click here
	Want a primer on buying a small wind system? We recommend a helpful booklet, Consumers Guide to Small Wind Electric Systems ... Massachusetts you can download it by clicking here (PDF).  It's a bit out of date, but does cover some important issues with small wind systems.
