First Time in the USA, A Quiet Rooftop SWIFT Wind Turbine For Homes & Businesses
Cascade Engineering has just launched its SWIFT Wind Turbine in the United States and Canada. Quieter than a whisper, SWIFT provides businesses and homeowners in windy environments an effective solution to lower energy bills and reduce carbon emissions.
Built on unique, patented technology, the SWIFT Wind generates electricity by harnessing the power of the wind providing a clean energy source for domestic, community and industrial use. Optimally sited, this turbine will produce approximately 2000 kWh of electricity per year. One of the quietest wind systems available, it generates less than 35 decibels of noise at all wind speeds

According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), the small wind turbine market is expected to grow 18-20 percent through 2010 — despite the lack of federal-level incentives to date.
A Sustainable Design For Your Sustainability Needs
Key benefits of the SWIFT Wind Turbine include:
- Quiet, vibration-free rooftop operation to avoid noise disturbance
- Sustainable design enabling it to become carbon and energy positive within four years
- Safe, efficient and autonomous operation
- Innovative design that makes it aesthetically and acoustically
- attractive
- Building mountable allowing use in urban and suburban areas
Bringing Your SWIFT Wind Turbine Home
Depending on the installed price, conventional electricity costs, wind speeds and incentives available, the SWIFT Wind Turbine can pay for itself in as little as three years. Currently, SWIFT turbines are available in the Northeast U.S., Great Lakes States and Western Canada. To find a dealer nearest you, visit http://www.SwiftWindTurbine.com.

This is not the first or the best rooftop wind turbine in the US. The rooftop wind turbines at WindEnergy7 are home, rooftop sized designs of Utility Scale Wind Power. You see, there is decades of design, testing, and engineering behind the three bladed wind turbine designs that are used in large scale wind farms. Since the 30% Small Wind Turbine Tax Credit was passed into law, rooftop systems are selling like hotcakes.
The rooftop wind system at WindEnergy7 follows proven technical knowledge of wind power. Besides, their turbines stainless steel parts will last far longer than other plastic designs they compete with, tested to witstand up to 134mph wind!

WindEnergy7.com now has customer/dealers in almost 50 different counties across the US. If you are interested in home wind power, have a look at those links here on Pickens Plan.

Hi,
I think rooftop wind turbines are a great way to charge batteries and offset your energy dependence. I think they need to be installed by an electrician and on the right roof using the righ equipment. I have designed a rooftop unit that works like a roof vent. It is not a roof vent though because it has been modified to work as a wind turbine. I hope everyone will consider using wind turbines to help reduce our energy dependence. Please come by and take a look at my design. http://rooftopwind.biz
Good luck and be safe!
