Wind Turbines
Small wind turbines are classed as turbines that are able to generate between 200 watts and 50 kWs of electrical power. If a wind turbine is placed in a carefully chosen site it should provide you with a reliable and economical means of generating clean energy and reduce your personal carbon footprint.
The turbine works by converting the wind energy captured by the rotor into electrical energy by means of a generator. This generated power can be stored in batteries or synchronized to the national grid with the use of a grid-tie inverter.
To ensure good performance it is widely accepted that an average yearly wind speed of 4.8 metres per second and above is required.
Please use the link in the windpower faq section below to find your average annual windspeed or of course feel free to contact us for assistance.
Please note, there are many factors to consider when purchasing a wind turbine and although having a suitable windspeed is the main factor to consider we will survey your site to ensure that the chosen site will enable maximum power generation and the best return for your investment.
New Generation energy can supply and commission a wide range of turbines from 400w to 50KW taking into account your individual requirements.
We do not promote or sell roof mounted turbines.
