Southwest Windpower is the world's leading manufacturer of small wind turbines. Its innovative designs and engineering advances are dramatically lowering the price of power from small wind machines into the 6-8 cent/kWh range. With these economics, the company's new 1.8kW turbine has the potential to completely revolutionize the wind component of the distributed generation paradigm, and put wind power on comparable footing with the fast-growing solar and PV market niche.
