Commercial Wind Power

Increase Your Bottom Line with Wind

If your business has a large, clear expanse of land, a wind energy system may be the perfect solution for your energy needs.  Wind energy systems harness the kinetic energy of the air currents to move a turbine that creates electrical energy.  It’s a clean, renewable source of power that can substantially lower your business’ energy bills. It’s also a great way to promote your business. Nothing compares to a wind turbines ability to draw attention to you!

Installing a wind energy system on your business is a smart decision because it taps into a plentiful and free resource and turns it into a useable energy that can save you money.  You may have seen the systems in rural areas of Kansas where entire farms are composed of wind turbines. 

These turbines are created when a set of rotating blades are set at the top of tall towers.  These blades turn in the wind and create an electrical charge. Even if you’re in an area that typically has very little wind, the currents are much stronger higher off the ground and can easily sustain a wind turbine.

The charge created by the turbine is then run to an inverter, which conditions the power produced to match the AC current that is used in your building.  The inverter is connected to your existing electrical system.  Any excess power is fed onto the utility grid, producing a credit on your electric bill.
. Monitoring systems are also available that enable you to see in real-time how much power your system is generating.

Here’s a checklist to start investigating whether a solar energy system is right for your business:

• Compare your current and past utility bills to see how your energy costs have increased in the past several years
• Speak to your accountant about what tax incentives you may qualify for by installing a renewable energy system
• File applications for grants that can help assist in the cost of installation
• Call Santa Fe Wind & Solar to talk about the options best for your business
