Wind power, solar power and sustainable energy words on everyone’s lips now days. I’ve been in the modular housing industry for the past 15 years, more and more people are looking for the energy saving appliances, and the industry has been trying to respond to the demand. But for the most part we’ve had to install Sun Tubes (day lighting systems) or Roof Windows that open to help with the cooling etc.

Thanks to the Federal Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit. Customers are beginning to inquire into wind turbines, solar panels and such.  One company out there I’ve just learned about by the name of WindEnergy7. Has a nifty roof mounted wind and solar hybrid system that can generate up to 850 watts of power. Add 1 or 2 of these units or just a single wind turbine and upgrade the system as your budget allows. 

The hybrid kits start at just under $3000. And the manufacturer claims the wind
turbine only requires a minimum wind resource of zone 2 or better to pay for
itself. Don’t worry if you don’t have a south facing roof surface, these units
can be perched on a mast out from under the trees and turned into the suns path.
What’s unique about these hybrid units is the system generates electricity
during the day even without a breeze, and at night when the wind typically picks
up. Most home owners are installing wind turbines and solar panels on their
homes to help provide lighting for their residents, and should continue to
practice conserving electricity by using compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) or even
better yet LED bulbs (light emitting diodes), which use less than a third of the
energy of a compact fluorescent. Helping you stretch out the energy produced by
