# Connected Rooftop Wind Turbines This Mountable Turbine is The First Connected Wind Energy Source By Kerem Sezer | Published 2016-04-05 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountable-turbine References: [earth911](http://www.earth911.com/eco-tech/green-power-fiddler/) & [fiddler.xyz](http://www.fiddler.xyz/) Fiddler is a mountable turbine that is meant to be installed on your rooftop. It's also a connected device which enables tracking of a home's energy habits while advising environmental strategies based on an eco-score that it creates. The mountable turbine is thus connected to an [excess power-storing battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-storage-system), which is also installed inside one's home. The green energy that is stored by the battery pack allows the smart system to use the energy when one needs it most. Meanwhile, it is suitable to interact with other [smart devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-home-energy) by creating an all-encompassing home operating system. "America’s electricity grid is broken, so we made our own. The smart grid aggregates all of our customer’s stored energy and sells it back to electric companies when prices soar, allowing us to pay you every month" states the Fiddler team when describing its groundbreaking product. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Connected Rooftop Wind Turbines:** Installing mountable turbines on rooftops and connecting them to smart systems enables tracking of energy habits and creates the potential for an all-encompassing home operating system. - **Excess Power-storing Battery Packs:** Using excess power-storing battery packs in conjunction with connected turbines allows for the storage and efficient usage of green energy, providing opportunities for a decentralized energy system. - **Smart Grid Technologies:** The development of smart grid technologies that aggregate stored energy from connected turbines and sell it back to electric companies during peak demand creates disruptive innovation opportunities for a more sustainable and cost-effective electricity grid. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can leverage connected rooftop wind turbines and excess power-storing battery packs to create more efficient and eco-friendly energy solutions. - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry can embrace the concept of connected rooftop wind turbines to provide consumers with an all-encompassing home operating system that optimizes energy usage. - **Energy Grid Management:** The energy grid management industry can explore the potential of smart grid technologies to create a decentralized and resilient electricity grid that maximizes the utilization of green energy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Wind Turbine Compact Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade.md) - [Turbine-Based Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade-1.md) - [Self-Powered Mobile Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-towers.md) - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md)
