Wind turbines are excellent sources of renewable power. Given a location with good wind, a Wind turbine will produce more energy than a solar PV system, for each dollar invested. Wind turbines convert the mechanical energy of the wind into usable electricity. In most areas, you can sell surplus electricity you produce, back to your utility, this is called “net metering.” When a surplus is generated by your system, your electric meter will actually spin backwards as you supply power to the utility’s electric grid.
As approved dealers for the 3 leading brands available, Building
Energy can provide a wind turbine that is right for your location and
your energy needs. 
Abundant Renewable Energy
Abundant Renewable Energy (ARE) wind generators are as strong as you'll find anywhere. Designed for harsh climates, they are built simply and ruggedly to quietly last. ARE machines have a large swept area to capture more wind and produce more energy, especially in low wind speeds. These machines produce energy in the winds you get, day in and day out.
ARE models are available in both the 2.5 kilowatt size and 10
kilowatt size. Both models can be used for battery charging
(48V) or grid-tie with the SMA Wind Boy Inverters.
