 | Wind-powered electric systems sized for homes, farms, and small businesses –
as an industry has experienced major growth in the past decade. These turbines,
which are defined as 100 kilowatts in capacity and below, have seen their market
grow significantly and the industry has set ambitious growth targets continuing
at 18-20% through 2010. The U.S. is the leading world producer of small wind turbines,
the vast majority of which are manufactured on U.S. soil. These machines are
used by individuals to lower their electric bills, become independent of their
electric grid, and to avoid the unpredictability of traditional energy
prices.
