Company description
Windspire is a low-cost, easy-to-install wind power appliance that
provides a safe and attractive method for harnessing power from the
wind. At only 30 feet tall and 2 feet wide, Windspire is safe for birds
and people, and is distinguished by its sleek propeller-free design,
silent operation, rugged construction, simple installation and
affordable pricing. Designed for operation where we live and work, it
sells for $3,995.00 and comes complete with the inverter, poles, and an
installation kit.
Attractive - Available in several standard colors, and with the
option of custom colors and designs, Windspire provides a truly
aesthetically-inspiring renewable wind power option. It is appropriate
for rural, urban, and residential environments alike, and at 30 feet,
it is below typical residential and urban zoning restrictions. Several
Windspires placed artistically in arrays can form an interesting
display of moving art in front of larger buildings.
Quiet, Safe, Bird-Friendly - Unlike conventional propeller
turbines with blades that rotate many times the speed of the wind,
Windspire spins at about the same speed as the wind. This makes it
virtually silent, clearly visible, and very safe for both people and
birds.
Durable, Easy Installation, Low Maintenance - Rugged yet simple
construction means durability - the Windspire is rated for winds up to
100 mph - and low maintenance for customers. Installation is easy and
straight-forward, and can be completed in a matter of hours. The
Windspire kit comes with everything you will typically need, except the
concrete. Simply pour a concrete foundation, attach and assemble the
unit, and raise it with a winch. Once installed, you can "plug 'n
produce" - plug it into your outlet, or have it hard-wired into your
building, to begin drawing power from the wind. Maintenance is limited
to a couple of minutes a year to oil the bearings, and a couple of
hours every 10 years to replace the rotor panels and the inverter.
Power from Advanced Technology - Mariah Power’s patented
technology includes a rotor, generator, and inverter designed as a
complete system to optimize the conversion of wind energy into
electricity. The 1kW (1 kilowatt, or 1,000 watts) Windspire will
produce approximately 1900* kilowatt hours per year in 12 mile per hour
average winds. The Windspire also includes an internal wireless modem
that can continuously transmit power production information directly to
your computer so you can check your power production at any time.
With so many advantages, and priced well below other renewable energy products, Windspire is the natural choice.
