Large Wind Small Wind
Large wind systems: Typically non-distributed applications that sell bulk power to a utility or very large energy user
Small wind systems: Exclusively distributed applications that produce energy for homes, farms, ranches, schools and factories (same as solar).
Residential Wind

How They WorkHow They Work
• Typically do not use batteries (on-grid systems)
• Maintenance of modern wind turbines consists of annual inspection
• Installs in 2-3 days
• Most off-grid systems use both solar PV and wind

Micro-Grid and Industrial ApplicationsMicro-Grid and Industrial Applications
Offshore platforms (Chevron – Gulf of Mexico)
With the ever increasing cost of diesel, countries and corporationsare turning to renewables, specifically small wind systems, in orderto offset their consumption of petroleum. Small wind is easily adaptableto current existing systems

Small Wind of TomorrowSmall Wind of Tomorrow
The value proposition in small wind is not just about producing energy…
• Industry-wide decrease in COE by 70% over the next 4-6 years (<$.08/kWh)
• Industry-wide turbine availability of >95% within the next 4-6 years
• Web-enabled auto-updates for performance optimization
• Smart grid support systems accessible by the utility
• Intelligent smart home system that allows the home to optimize power usage/net-metering credits
• Automated healthy monitoring systems that communicate with dealer to ensure
• Products that are optimized for lower winds (9-11 MPH)
• Features that allow for greater consumer interaction
