The best part is the State will pay for almost half of it! The State of California provides a cash rebate for qualified purchases of small wind systems up to 30 kW. The CEC (Cal. Energy Commission) rebate for wind (effective January 1, 2006) is $2.50 per watt for the first 7,500 watts and then $1.50 per watt for additional wattage up to the limit of 30 kW.

Our most popular package is the 10 kW Excel-S "GridTek" system. Our 10 kW GridTek system is the only CEC-certified small wind system that can operate without batteries. Click here to jump to a description. This system is rated at 9,100 watts by the CEC and qualifies for a rebate of $21,450

With the new California incentives the payback may be in as little as 6-7 years! And in many situations the monthly saving will completely offset the monthly loan payment! Financially, buying a home wind system is vastly superior to just purchasing all your electricity from the power company. It's like the difference between renting a home and buying a home.

A small wind system will provide a return on your investment of 10 - 20% - tax-free - depending on your usage and wind resource. This is equivalent to a 14% - 28% return on a taxable investment! Compare that to 2% form a money market account, 5% from a long-term CD, or negative earnings from mutual funds over the last few years.
