Off Grid Wind and Solar Electric Systems provide power to locations where the cost of
installing utility power is prohibitive. If the power lines are over 1/3 of a mile away, an independent
renewable energy system is usually cost-effective. Many full size homes are powered by solar, wind
or solar/ wind hybrid power systems. For more info on these systems visit our Backup Power Page.

Net Metered Grid-tie Wind and Solar Electric Systems allow you to use renewable wind and
solar energy to reduce or even eliminate your electric bill. These systems are a sound investment that
help the environment and make you less vulnerable to electricity price increases. NY and many other
states have cash incentive programs which significantly reduce the cost of installing these systems for
home, farm and business.

For information on the NY incentive programs visit the NYSERDA site
Please visit our Solar or Wind pages for more in-depth information on these renewable systems.
Please visit our Net Metering Page for a basic explanation of net metering in NY.

A backup power system from Four Winds is ready 24 hours a day to instantly and automatically provide
clean, quiet emergency power for your home. These versatile systems can be easily upgraded with the
installation of a standy generator and/ or renewable energy power sources. This winning combination is
good insurance against extended power outages. Backup Power Page

Pumping water with the sun's energy is both cost effective and reliable for livestock watering,
small scale irrigation and domestic water applications in remote locations. It's a natural alternative to
using generators, hand pumps or mechanical windmills.
We offer a wide variety of systems which pump from ponds, streams, shallow and deep wells.

Four Winds is a family-owned business located on a windy 70 acre hill top in the Fingerlakes Region
of NY State. Roy first started working with renewables in 1971, worked for several years in the
construction trades and established Four Winds in January of 1997.
4 months later he cut the power lines and took his home and business off-grid, quickly learning the
value of every watt! By combining the use of energy efficient appliances with a conservation-oriented
life style, he was able to reduce his daily power usage from 33,000 watt-hours to 6,000.

Roy says: By significantly reducing our consumption of electricity, we are able to live quite comfortably
with a much smaller power system than originally planned, a 1500 watt wind generator and 768 watt solar array.
We use what we sell, we know first-hand what works and what doesn’t. We’ll give you honest answers to all
your questions and be here for you long after the sale.

Renewable energy is not just our job, it’s an important part of our sustainable lifestyle.
