Wind turbines use blades to collect wind’s kinetic energy. The wind flows over
the blades creating lift, causing them to turn. The blades are connected to a
drive shaft that turns an electric generator to produce electricity.
An inverter converts the electricity into AC (alternating current) electricity, which
can then be used and passed directly to the electric grid. A ‘net meter’ is used in
place of your standard electric meter. The net meter allows us to track the
excess wind power that you produce and how much electricity you use. Wind
power systems can actually make your meter spin backwards
