Thank you for looking at our products, this information will guide you through the system we are supplying and provide many answers to questions.
Our kits come complete with Propeller, Generator, Mast, Fixing Kits, Ground Anchorage point and control box which regulates the voltage produced by the generator, it also incorporates a dump load which is used when the batteries are full, also a over charge protection of the batteries.
When the power is produced we advise you store your power in batteries (supplied at extra cost) and then convert your stored power to 240v 50Hz in UK & Europe and 110v 60 Hz UK & Canada, this is achieved with a device called an Inverter (supplied at extra cost).
We advise that you produce electricity for your needs first and foremost rather than connect this system to the electricity grid, all of our systems will grid connect with additional equipment.
Below is a diagram to give you an indication of how the power is produced and the components and how the power is transferred for your use.

These systems can be used in conjunction with Solar panels, this is call a Hybrid system and can be added at the same time or at a later date, we have illustrated how this is achieved below.

The system will be in the format shown below, the smaller units up to 2Kw unit can also be roof mounted, an extra bracket can be supplied for this which has anti vibrations pads.
| Frequently Asked Questions |
What are the Noise Levels ?
All units supplied produce less than 50 db noise and the levels are measured 10 metres from the propeller at 10 m/s wind speed.
Do I need Planning Permission ?
We recommend that you contact your local planning officer with this information to enquire about planning permission, for the most cases it should be a formality obtaining permission as the authorities and government are very keen to promote renewable energy products.
How easy is it to fit ?
The unit is very easy to install with basic DIY skills, the unit is supplied with a comprehensive fitting guide, employ a qualified electrician to connect to the electricity supply. Simply put a cubic meter of cement in to a 1 square metre hole and fasten the mounting plate supplied with the kit to this weight, this will secure the unit safely.
What happens it its very high winds ?
Our units are designed to withstand winds of 134MPH (60 m/s) which is above industry standard.
Does the unit have over speed protection ?
Yes this system incorporates an over protection system which will prevent it from going out of control, this device is called anti furling.
Which generator should I pick and How much power do I need ?
An average household of 2 Adults and 2 children consume approximately 4000 Kw per year, look at the specifications to see how many units are produced at the relevant wind speeds and select accordingly to your requirements whether you want to become totally sufficient or reduce your bills by 60/70 %.
Are the units guaranteed ?
Yes for a period of 2 years parts and labour.
How do I obtain spares in the future ?
Contact us directly and we will supply any part/s required fast.
What is m/s ?
Metres per second wind speed, to relate this to MPH simply multiply the m/s by 2.24 and this will give you MPH.
