The AeroCam is ideal for micro-wind farms. With its smaller footprint, the AeroCam helps overcome barriers to developing new micro-wind farms. It requires less real estate overall, plus AeroCam turbines can be installed much closer together for a higher power yield per square mile than conventional turbines. Because the AeroCam can be installed on a pole as low as 30 feet in the air, a productive micro-wind farm can be established while still providing land owners access to ground space for farming or ranching, without posing interference with commercial and military radar. The lower height also makes installation and maintenance possible without special cranes or equipment.

The AeroCam helps municipalities economically create their own power. In the same way that traditional electricity utilities store and move their power along a grid, “green” energy providers also funnel their generated power into this infrastructure. Unfortunately, sometimes more power is created than can be used or stored, causing bottlenecks that compromise the delivery of lower-cost kilowatts. Traditionally, smaller municipalities have had limited access to this lower-cost power, as well as few options to produce their own, due to the inherent restrictions of conventional HAWTs. The AeroCam makes it easier for municipalities to establish their own micro-wind farms, and in fact, many states are now offering incentives and tax benefits to install renewable energy solutions. Far more economical than most other available solutions, including solar, the AeroCam enables communities of all sizes to more easily and cost-effectively establish their own local power generation source or offset the energy they purchase from the grid. And through net metering, communities can tap into new revenue streams by selling any excess wind power they generate back to the electric utility. Additionally, the AeroCam’s smaller footprint and highly efficient lift-based design make it perfect for placement in a variety of settings – from low-rise commercial buildings and shopping malls to city parks.
