Wind Generators
What Are Wind Generators?
Wind generators, also known as small wind turbines, convert wind into electricity using rotating blades connected to a generator. These systems are particularly effective in areas with consistent wind flow and can operate independently or alongside solar PV systems in hybrid configurations. They’re perfect for properties where solar alone may not meet total energy needs.
Benefits of Wind Energy
- 24/7 Power Generation
Wind turbines can produce energy day or night, even when the sun isn’t shining. - Energy Independence
Reduce or eliminate your reliance on utility companies and protect yourself from rising rates. - Hybrid System Capabilities
Combine with solar PV for maximum efficiency and reliability. - High ROI in Rural Areas
Especially effective for farms, ranches, and open landscapes with steady wind patterns. - Low Environmental Impact: Generate clean energy with a small footprint and minimal emissions.
Who Should Consider Wind Generators?
Wind energy isn’t for every location, but it can be a game-changer for those in ideal zones. We typically recommend wind generators for:
- Rural homeowners or off-grid properties
- Farms and agricultural businesses
- Commercial facilities with large open areas
- Energy-conscious contractors and developers
Our Wind Generator Solutions
GreenEnergy installs wind turbines ranging from small residential systems (1kW–10kW) to mid-sized commercial turbines (20kW–100kW+). Each system is custom-designed based on wind resource assessment, energy needs, and property layout.
We offer:
- Site Analysis: Wind mapping, zoning evaluation, and utility interconnection review
- Custom System Design: Tailored turbine size, height, and placement for maximum output
- Turnkey Installation: Permitting, foundation, tower erection, electrical tie-in, and testing
- Ongoing Monitoring: Optional maintenance plans and performance reporting

Incentives & Financing
Many customers qualify for a 30% federal tax credit on wind installations, plus state and utility-level rebates depending on your location. GreenEnergy helps you maximize all available savings and offers financing options to make wind energy more affordable than ever.
Wind vs Solar – Why Not Both?
Solar and wind aren’t competing—they’re complementary. By combining both, you can cover energy generation across more hours and seasons. Wind often picks up when sunlight dips, creating a perfect balance for year-round reliability. Ask us about designing a hybrid solar-wind system for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much wind do I need for a turbine to work?
Most small wind systems require an average annual wind speed of at least 10–12 mph. We conduct a full wind resource assessment to confirm whether your site is suitable before we recommend installation.
Are wind turbines noisy?
No—modern small wind turbines are designed to operate quietly. The sound is comparable to rustling leaves or distant traffic and is generally not an issue beyond 100–150 feet.
Can I stay connected to the grid with wind power?
Yes. Most wind systems are grid-tied, meaning you can use wind power when available and draw from the grid when needed. Some systems can also be designed as off-grid with battery storage.
What maintenance is required?
Wind systems are low-maintenance, requiring periodic checks and minor servicing. We offer monitoring and service plans to ensure your system runs smoothly year-round.
