Welcome to Aquilo Power

Rethinking our world in terms of sustainable, environmentally friendly power is an enormous challenge. Two sides of the problem we face are technology and cost. We can be easily overwhelmed by the magnitude of these issues, thinking they can only be solved at the highest corporate levels. This is an old paradigm that we are helping to change, right here at Aquilo.

We invite you to learn how you can energize your business, your home and your lifestyle using a natural resource that is non-depleting, reliable and cost efficient. Furthermore, you will see how you will be able to realize a zero cost by contributing back to the power grid.

When you have an Aquilo Vertical Wind Turbine installed, you will be set up to benefit from Net Metering . What is Net Metering? As a customer of your power company, you are connected to the power grid. Your home or business consumes electricity at a relatively fixed rate and the power company bills you accordingly. The power efficiency of an Aquilo Vertical Wind Turbine will typically exceed your consumption, particularly during business off hours, when your household is asleep or you are on vacation, or simply due to wind speed variance.

The excess power generated during those times becomes a resource the power company is happy to buy from you! In fact, with an Aquilo VAWT installation, you can expect to realize a return on your investment in 4-10 years.

HARNESSING WIND POWER

Wind power has been around for a long, long time. We may be familiar with the modern images of massive sea or land-based wind farms with their huge horizontal-axis propellers turning in the breeze. Most of us don’t understand how they work or how efficient they actually are. Like any technology they present advantages and disadvantages. Size, expense of construction, operation and maintenance, ecological footprint and environmental impact can become drawbacks against the goal of sustainable green power.

Enter the new breed of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT).

VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES

Since the 1950’s, use of vertical turbines has grown to represent almost 5% of the market. Over the past two decades this approach to wind-generated energy has brought a level of acceptance that allows for the development of small and middle size wind-power turbines. They are extremely efficient, esthetically superior, far less expensive to erect, operate and maintain, and, with a much smaller footprint, present much more flexible placement options.
