Windspire Wind Turbine

We often try to feature affordable products on 1GreenProduct.com, because we believe that everyone should be able to live Green.

But how much would you be willing to pay to cut your monthly energy bill by up to 50%?

Mariah Power is hoping that $4,995 won't sound too steep. That's the MSRP on the new Windspire ® vertical axis wind turbine now available for purchase.

The Windspire includes a high-efficiency generator, integrated inverter, wireless performance monitor and tilt-up monopole. Installation by an authorized dealer costs around $1000 more.

Ideally you'll want a half-acre of land and 12-mile per hour average winds to get the full 2000 kWh of electricity from the Windspire.

If you're fortunate to have such a property, the Windspire may go a long way toward helping you harness the power of the wind to produce clean energy for your home.

PS - Want to take a gander at a Windspire in action before you buy? If you live near Washington, D.C., you're in luck. Stop by the United States Botanic Garden's sustainability exhibition on the Mall anytime before October 13th. Hey, if it's good enough for our nation's Capitol... 

Where to buy:

Email your sales inquiry to Mariah Power. The company will match you with a nearby dealer.

FYI, Mariah Power stands behind the Windspire (metaphorically) with a 5-year warranty.

According to Mariah Power, your purchase of a Windspire may also qualify you for various tax rebates or incentives.
