- All API-HAWT and API-VAWT Grid Tie Turbines are approved equipment listed on the CEC's website of
Eligible Small Wind Turbines.
- New Federal Tax Credit for 30% of the Systems Cost for Residential Small Wind Power Installations
. Commercial Systems can choose a Cash Grant instead of the Tax Credit, also based on 30% of the Systems Total Cost.
- Rural Small Businesses and Farms may be eligible for a USDA guaranteed loan for up to 75% of a wind system's installed cost and a cash grant for up to 25% of the cost.
The total cannot exceed 75% and the business must comply with Small Business Administration size and location standards. Farms must derive at least 50% of their income from agriculture.

Wind Grid Tie Inverters:
Aurora Wind Inverters:
Permanent magnet generator power curve utilizing high speed power point tracking increases the energy that can be harvested from small wind turbines. The Interface Unit that
conditions the output of the generator before it goes to
the Inverter is 99% efficient. And every Aurora Wind Inverter has an efficiency exceeding 97%.

API-HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINES
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines: (VAWT)
Features:
- No massive tower required so construction costs are lower.
- No Yaw device required.
- Less noise than HAWT models.
- Higher airfoil pitch angle improves aerodynamics.
- Lower wind startup speeds.
- Larger swept area than HAWT's with the same radius.
- No turning to face the wind so VAWT's
are ideal for turbulent conditions.
API-VAWT:
All Turbines have 5 Blades with an operating wind speed of 4-25 meters/sec
(9-53mph) and a System Efficiency above 26%.
System Price includes Generator, Blades, Controller and 5.5m (18ft) Tower.
API-500W, 1KW, 3KW, 10KW VAWTs also available in Grid Tie versions.

Example:
A 4' Blade sweeps about 50sf or 5m2. So in area 3 it would have a Wind Power capability of 750 Watts
(5m2 x 150W/m2 = 750Watts) at 11.5 mph.
To Convert Wind Speeds (from mph, knots ,meters, etc.) go to this Wind Conversion Chart.
