Residential Wind Energy Grants, Recent Turbine Projects
 
The Ohio Energy Office announced that an incentive program for residential wind projects will begin on October 1, 2008.  In order to qualify, your electricity must be provided by one of the eligible companies. Click here for a complete list.  Forms and guidelines will be posted here by the end of the business day on October 1.
 
If you qualify, this could mean a $4,750 grant for the installation of a Skystream 3.7! Contact us for more information or call 877.636.3366 to speak with a consultant.
 
The Toledo Zoo has entered the world of windpower.  Green by Design installed a Skystream 3.7 on a 60' monopole tower as part of the parking lot expansion project.  Watch a video of the tower raising and learn more about the project.
 
Installation is now complete for the first turbine at Clay High School's wind farm.  Check out photos from the tower raising.  Data will also be posted on the high school's website.
 
Skystream wind turbine t-shirts and mini solar-powered turbines are now available for purchase!  Visit Green by Design or Stark's Inc. in Bryan.
