Wind Energy

Harness the power of wind with the GALE™ Vertical Axis Wind Turbine. This helix shaped unit can generate up to 50% more energy than the traditional propeller models most of us are used to seeing.

Winds as low as 4 mph is all that’s necessary to begin creating electricity. The GALE™ unit is extremely durable, able to withstand winds up to 130 mph while remaining virtually silent. A major concern about wind energy is its affects on wildlife but the GALE™ is harmless, i.e. no bird strikes, because animals recognize it as a solid object.

Currently they come in three different sizes: 1KW, 5KW and a 10KW unit.

GALE™ wind turbines are also an opportunity to advertise your business or cause. A logo or image can easily be added to share your message with others. The blades are an excellent way to brand and incorporate outdoor advertising.

The wind turbine can be used both independently and in conjunction with the local power grid. This reduces costs of purchasing electricity from the utility company. The GALE™ also generates power regardless of personal usage, so any surplus power could be net metered back to the grid.

Wind is clean, safe and renewable. Worldwide, it is the fastest-growing energy source — installed generating capacity increased by an average 32% annually from 1998 to 2002. A wind energy system, like GALE™, can transform the moving energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical energy.

Mechanical energy: Wind energy can be used for purposes such as grinding grain and pumping water. In the United States, some six million mechanical windmills were in operation in the late 1880s until about 1935; helping homesteaders and farmers to settle the West. Mechanical wind energy is most commonly used today for pumping water in rural or remote locations.

Electrical energy: Harnessing the wind for electricity generation is the most widespread use of wind energy today. Wind turbines can generate electricity for homes, businesses and for sale to utilities.

Solar Energy

Allow Focused Sustainability to help you harness the natural power of the sun and turn rays into clean, renewable electricity. We can offer the latest in solar technology including solar hot water systems and photovoltaic panels. Solar systems have very low maintenance and create no emissions.

The Nature Conservancy and Aquarion Water Company in Connecticut teamed to work on a one of a kind project to save an ailing eel population. They used solar and wind power to help power LED lights that guide the animals toward a safe passageway to the Aspetuck River.
