Excerpted from the official Windterra site
“Want to save money with alternative energy but a solar panel is too expensive? The answer is in the wind, a Canadian wind turbine that is entering the market in California.
The turbines are Windterra turbines and have a vertical image of small box with 3 blades on a small base.
Most people who pay about $ 200 U.S. dollars per month on electricity save between $ 50 and $ 75 by installing a Windterra wind turbine.
A solar system costs about $ 20,000 U.S. dollars for a two-bedroom house. With Windterra turbines the approximate cost is $ 6900 U.S. dollars.
You need an approval of the structure to install a turbine, with an approximate weight of 110 kg ”
The company says that the advantages are:
* These turbines are multidirectional, so no matter the spin direction of the wind, unlike regular turbines.
* It is easier to install on roofs and turbulence will not affect much.
* Spin at a rate much lower, generating less noise.
* The turbines are shipped in one box. All you need to install and to make it work comes in a single box.
Apparently these turbines if they are accessible and efficient for homes, so their potential is very large. For more information visit the Windterra website. Many people asked us how to sell renewable energy in their country, they have a program for resellers, we do not know how, but the possibility is there.

The question is how much power would this turbine generate for the $6,900 the consumer spends versus a 2KW solar array that costs $20,000. Also, that $20k for solar would come with services like: full professional installation, monitoring software, tax incentives and maintenance. Wind is a tremendous renewable energy source, as is solar.

The ECO 1200 is a now both a “Grid Tie” and “off grid product. The ECO 1200’s vertical axis design is an industry leader. The “all inclusive” simplistic mount, turbine, generator and matched inverter make an easily installed complete package. How much simpler than joining a wire to a breaker in the panel box or tie to your battery bank can you get! We are always facing the wind!
The inclusion of an off-grid option allows the power created by the ECO 1200 to be stored in batteries. The Battery Charger is only intended to be connected to a battery bank. The ability to convert energy into a range from 24 v – 48 v DC power leaves many options. This device also has an operating range from – 25 to 40 degrees Celsius.
In response to customer interest we continue to expand our recommended installation options. Last issue we promoted the use of outbuildings as an option. After working with different supply companies, using our specification requirements, we have suppliers in place for three types of poles…steel, composite, and wood. All three would place our unit about 30 ft. above ground. The steel pole requires a cement foundation. The composite and wood poles require a bored hole. Poles can be purchased for as little as $1000.00.
Recently we read about a “FIT” program. There is a movement towards a feed in tariff program. This program is designed to pay the small energy producer for each KW produced. This is a significant change in support of “Green Energy”.
We have worked with lending agencies and have a simplified process in place. By working with lending agencies we have virtually removed the bureaucracy of financing a wind turbine. These lending agencies know our product and have a great offer to help diminish the immediate cash outlay.
Work on the permitting side is also developing. We have example letters to neighbors, a sample ordinance along with advice on permitting available for your use.

howdy, nice post.
wind turbine produces the 20kw wind turbine. Seems it also provided the 10kw and 17.5kw wind turbine. It provided the lattice tower and monopole tower.
