How it Works

Take control of your electric meter with the new Skystream® 3.7 wind appliance –
even make your meter run backwards!



Your Skystream works in tandem with your electric utility to power your house. When the wind isn’t blowing, the utility supplies your electricity. But when it’s windy out, your Skystream provides clean, quiet electricity. When it generates more electricity than you need, your meter can actually spin backwards—which means you’re essentially selling electricity back to the utility.


The Skystream 3.7

The Skystream 3.7® is a fully integrated, utility-connected wind generator designed specifically for homes and small businesses. In simple terms, it shows you’ve taken charge of your home’s energy needs. It’s a symbol of independence.
