If you have a property of over a half-acre with an unobstructed view and exposure to a good amount of wind, you may be able to significantly reduce or eliminate your electric bill. The Skystream 3.7 wind turbine mounts on a 35 to 70 foot tower and can take a 20 to 90% chunk out of the residential electric bill of those with the right location.
The Skystream 3.7 can generate 400 kw a month with winds of 12 mph. It taps into the existing power company system and starts generating power at wind speeds over 8 mph. As wind speeds increase less power is taken from your power utility, if you generate more wind power than your household can consume your utility meter will actually spin backwards creating a credit.
No wiring changes to your home electrical system are necessary and federal guidelines mandate that local power companies allow your connection. Zoning by-laws usually require a permit to erect the tower. The turbine has 12-foot-long blades, can make about as much noise as an air conditioner and, though no data is in, may endanger the occasional bird.
Price: around $10k

You need pretty steady winds in excess of 8mph to make a dent in your electric bill. Check out Skystream’s FAQ at the link below – or contact the company for more specifics.

Hello To All, I have a few questions;
I live in Tucson, Az & have an average wind speed of 8mph. or greater.
1) Can I power a large home (3450 sq ft.)on a Skystream System. If yes, what would be the cost ?
2) Building limites are 22′ hiegth ?
3) shortest system (in feet)?
4) How long can power be stored and how much power can be stored.
5) Can I have a systemed designed ?
Thank you Len Grami
