We empower people to make changes in our world that are too big for an individual. With our oversight volunteers are able to build wind turbines at a fraction of the usual cost, making them accessible to anyone. Our customers will receive a complete renewable energy solution, installed and maintained by professionals, that saves them money. https://forwardwinds.com/take-action daily 0.75 2020-06-04 https://forwardwinds.com/volunteer-info daily 0.75 2020-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590694330920-3GKSB8HEYWPRHJI2RWUY/iStock-859478816.jpg Volunteer info You don't need any special skills or knowledge. Building with fiberglass is simple for a person to learn and do but hard to automate. Within the first few days you'll know enough to help build wind turbines yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590523891615-19IF1NI1PVN76KH8T4HE/drew-brown-9phcYpRKekc-unsplash.jpg Volunteer info Stay with us on-site. Volunteers are organized into groups of 12. We'll provide food, lodging, evening activities and weekend events free of charge. https://forwardwinds.com/our-solutions daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1594800476742-LIV28UE6IPX7WIFR8C66/matt-artz-J2R6iK8A6mQ-unsplash.jpg Our Solutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1594800442275-VZX3EJHJMJAQNG71DT5N/adam-smigielski--7S5m0T11l0-unsplash.jpg Our Solutions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1594800044475-2EBRAZ7X1CKKCIK4QOOZ/adam-smigielski-yRXX76H0lSc-unsplash.jpg Our Solutions https://forwardwinds.com/grid-connected daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590560559688-NT4MKB838EMRP489IQJA/simon-migaj-9D3swqmEFjk-unsplash.jpg Grid-Connected There's no need for batteries or charge controllers in a grid-connected system.

We've all felt the wind. Maybe a strong wind even knocked you off balance once. There's power in the movement of air. If you can harass a lot of air you have a LOT of power. Wind power was one of the first sources of energy humans began to use. At first windmills turned millstones to grind grains. Today wind turbines turn alternators to generate electricity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590610159575-NEBRHBXB893K7URQIJ8B/johannes-plenio-5_9inhy4NSE-unsplash.jpg Why Wind https://forwardwinds.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-09-26 https://forwardwinds.com/standalone daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590687034891-T4T1IWJDJWJ501QS01MS/chelsea-WvusC5M-TM8-unsplash.jpg Standalone A generator or solar panels aren’t essential to a standalone system but they can add additional reliability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1589576284808-1CKG53EV8AYULQHTQ4WT/small-wind-electric-systems-11-638.jpg Standalone https://forwardwinds.com/pricing daily 0.75 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590525668335-J1T5LH5A4MRKYFFP5RPC/adam-smigielski-yRXX76H0lSc-unsplash.jpg Pricing The price of a standalone system will change greatly based on your location and needs. A basic system typically starts at $10,000. Contact us anytime to discuss the details of what you need and what we can provide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590525626274-X330NMK21MGAKU4NHNQC/guillaume-henrotte-TSsVQ3myt8Y-unsplash.jpg Pricing If you have existing electrical service and are ready to stop paying for power we can design and install a grid-connected system with you. Prices can vary slightly but typically the full system will cost $5,600. If you'd rather not pay the entire cost upfront we can work out a financing plan. Your monthly payment will be below what you're currently paying for electricity. No extra monthly cost, we guarantee it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590525392346-1HKZYWXJY95T6KXV11R7/gustavo-quepon-pF_2lrjWiJE-unsplash.jpg Pricing If you have an existing system and simply want to add one of our turbines we're happy to accommodate. The price for a turbine by itself is $3000 https://forwardwinds.com/turbine daily 0.75 2020-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1590560179025-WUB55FC28PZBGHIQURK0/shane-rounce-DNkoNXQti3c-unsplash.jpg Turbine - Our Guarantee We stand behind our products. When we install your system we’ll work with you to find out what your new electric bill will be. If a bill comes that’s higher than our quote we’ll pay the difference, no questions asked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1594078139036-JXS92ISWGJ87Y6W8LSSP/hi-bill.jpg Turbine - What this means for you Find this section on a recent electric bill. If the number in the blue box under Difference is lower than 1000 our turbines will produce more power than you need. Not only will you receive no bill, the electric company will issue you a credit for the power you produced but didn't use! If your usage is over 1000 one of our turbines will reduce your bill by $360 on average every month, more than paying for itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea8a212794ae03d329938fb/1594805091856-RFG2REE917PBPR6MTPHA/schema_eolienne_EN4.jpg Turbine - Our Turbines With the help of volunteers from around the world we are able to build top quality turbines for a fraction of the usual cost. Every location is different but with average conditions on the big island our 10’ turbines will generate over 1000 kWh every month. The average household in the US uses 909 kWh per month. Each of our turbines can replace 600 gallons of oil burned for electricity in Hawaii every year!
