Solar Incentives
Advantages ofWind Turbines
- Turbines are rugged, quiet and omni-directional.
- Free, inexhaustible renewable resource.
- Eligible for a variety of state and federal financial incentives.
- Can be packed close together in wind farms.
- They are virtually silent and vibration free.
- Energy that could be supplied is equal to 20 billion barrels of oil per year.
Wind Turbines
Pfister Energy offers custom wind power energy solutions to help businesses offset increased demands and escalating costs of electricity. This sustainable and renewable energy system is able to generate and distribute electricity at a wide variety of locations and industry-types. We specialize in building-integrated vertical axis wind turbines. These lightweight turbines are easily integrated into any building's architecture. They work well in both fractured urban wind environments and in low-wind regimes.
How does a Wind Turbine work?
Wind turbines are positioned on top of buildings or on high poles to "collect" high winds. The wind turns the blades of the wind turbine, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator. The generator converts the rotational movement into electricity at medium voltage. A transformer then increases the voltage to make storage and transmission of your power easier and less prone to power loss. Whether the wind is blowing at 6 mph or 135 mph, the omni-directional wind turbine is designed to align itself with the direction of the wind and wind speed to maximize power output.
Who can use Wind Energy?
Wind Energy is feasible for sites with an average annual wind speed of 10mph or higher and those which have conducive local incentive programs.

- Commercial, municipal and industrial users who pay the highest rates of electricity.
- Remote locations and communities where the cost of energy is extremely high.
- Businesses and communities where diesel generators supply electricity.
