Applications
Commercial
Owners of big box retail stores, malls and office buildings are always looking for ways to reduce their energy bills. WindTamer turbines can be installed next to buildings, on rooftops and even on the tops of parking lot lighting. Turbines not only provide inexpensive energy, but in these locations demonstrate their commitment to green solutions. View a short story on a commercial installation.
Residential
Owners of single-family homes and small farms in relatively remote locations – even locations off the electricity grid – can help reduce their energy bills and guarantee their energy needs using WindTamer turbines. WindTamer turbines generate more power than comparable three-bladed or helix-shaped wind turbines that are often used for such applications. View a short story on a residential installation.
Agricultural
Large farms have historically employed wind turbines, particularly in the Midwest, where wind resources are high. WindTamer turbines are an excellent option because they can take better advantage of strong winds than traditional turbines and offer a superior return on investment.
Educational
Many educational institutions are at the forefront of using alternative energy systems such as wind turbines and solar panels. WindTamer turbines not only provide efficient power, but their unique design provides educational opportunities. And because they operate so close to the ground, they are easy for students to study.
Portable
WindTamer turbines are available in mobile units – such as on a trailer pulled by a truck. This portability adds to their versatility, especially for when power is needed for off-grid locations.
Government/Military
The government and military are particularly interested in clean energy that can be operated in remote and off-grid locations. WindTamer turbines provide flexibility, portability and reliability in demanding situations.
