This is the Skystream windturbine being upgraded with new softwear and testing the radio frequency remote. It will set approximately 50.6 feet in the air so we are hoping all the upgrades are done and we won't have to bring the tower down to do any work on it for at least a year. We plan to purchase a radio frequency monitoring device later to track our energy production. The sky stream information can be found at: http://www.skystreamenergy.com/skystream/
Here are the
