Gilded's premiere wind power offering is the SouthWest Windpower Skystream 3.7™ -- the first small wind generator designed specifically for utility-connected residential use. Skystream lets homeowners and businesses harness wind energy and take control of their energy bills like never before.

Designed specifically for grid-connectivity, Skystream enables homes and businesses to take advantage of “net-metering” -- the sale of unused energy back to the power grid required by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).  Under net-metering arrangement, homeowners can see their electric meters spin backwards as excess power is supplied back to the power grid.

Skystream offers a simple, all-in-one solution to harnessing wind energy on a residential scale. Different from all other technologies, Skystream is the first all-inclusive wind generator with the controls and inverter built in.  Designed for very low winds, Skystream begins producing power in an 8 mph (3.5 m/s) breeze with full output achieved at 23 mph (10.3 m/s).  Skystream can be mounted on a 35 foot (10.6 meters) tower. This means a vast number of households on one acre or larger lots will now have access to residential, utility-connected wind energy.

With a rated capacity of 1.9 kW, Skystream can provide anywhere from 40 to 100 percent of a household's or small business’s total energy needs.

Gilded offers a variety of other wind turbines, and provides installation services and routine maintenance for all systems.
