Nova Scotia, Canada, August 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Ross and Gail MacDonald, of Janvrin’s Island, just completed the installation of a Skystream 3.7 marine grade 2.4 kilowatt wind turbine. Appleseed Energy (www.appleseedenergy.com) installed the windmill on a 45' galvanized tilting monopole tower. This unit is capable of providing 50%-100% of an average household's electricity needs. It produces 400 kilowatt hours of electricity in an average 12mph wind speed, and can produce up to 900 kilowatt hours in a month. The base of the Skystream 3.7 is approximately 10 cubic yards of formed reinforced concrete. The turbine has wireless communication software that lets the user see in "real-time" what the turbine is producing, it lets the user log data for specified timeframes, and troubleshoot the turbine. Scheduled maintenance consists of a yearly visual and audio inspection, (look and listen to the turbine to make sure there are no problems), and nothing else.
Ross and Gail have their Skystream 3.7 windmill hooked into the Nova Scotia power grid through Nova Scotia Power Corp’s net-metering program. Under net-metering, a system owner receives retail credit for at least a portion of the electricity they generate. Most electricity meters accurately record in both directions, allowing a no-cost method of effectively banking excess electricity production for future credit. “It is satisfying to know that we are doing our part to combat global warming. Also, our investment improves each time there is an energy increase,” Ross MacDonald.
