Specifically engineered for farms, rural homes, and rooftop applications, this compact system starts generating electricity at wind speeds as low as 1.2m/s—making it viable even in moderate wind regions where traditional small turbines struggle to operate . With a maximum output of 1kW at rated wind speed of 10m/s, it delivers an annual energy production of 2,000-3,000 kWh in optimal conditions, sufficient to power essential household appliances or farm equipment like water pumps and lighting systems. Its lightweight design (total weight 420kg) enables straightforward rooftop mounting or pole installation without requiring extensive structural reinforcement, making renewable energy accessible to homeowners and small farmers alike.
At its core is a specialized aerodynamic system featuring three 3.8m length composite blades with a high lift-to-drag ratio airfoil, optimized to capture energy from gentle breezes starting at 1.2m/s . This is complemented by a low-torque permanent magnet generator that reduces rotational resistance by 30% compared to conventional small turbines, ensuring reliable startup and energy production even in inconsistent wind conditions typical of residential areas.
Engineered specifically for rooftop installation, the turbine features a compact 8m diameter rotor and anti-vibration mounting system that minimizes structural stress on buildings . The lightweight aluminum alloy frame resists corrosion while withstanding wind gusts up to 20m/s, and the integrated yaw mechanism automatically aligns the rotor with wind direction without requiring complex calibration.
Designed for DIY-friendly setup, the turbine includes a pre-assembled hub and generator that reduces installation time to as little as 2 hours with standard household tools . The mounting kit accommodates both asphalt shingle and metal rooftops, while optional pole-mounting hardware supports farm installations up to 6m height. Each unit ships with a detailed installation guide and digital setup video access.
An integrated MPPT charge controller optimizes energy capture by continuously adjusting to wind conditions, while providing multiple output options (12V/24V DC and 110V/230V AC via optional inverter) . The system includes overcharge protection, low-battery cut-off, and surge suppression to safeguard connected devices and battery storage (compatible with 12V/200Ah batteries for off-grid use).
Homeowners install the turbine to reduce grid electricity dependence for lighting, refrigeration, and small appliances, typically offsetting 15-25% of household energy consumption in areas with average wind speeds above 3m/s. Rooftop mounting maximizes exposure while avoiding ground space requirements.
Farmers utilize the system to power remote water pumps, fence chargers, and barn lighting, eliminating the need for expensive grid extension or diesel generators. The low-wind operation ensures consistent power for critical agricultural equipment even during calm periods.
Remote cabins and weekend retreats combine the turbine with solar panels and battery storage to create self-sufficient energy systems, providing reliable electricity where utility access is unavailable or cost-prohibitive.
Schools and community centers install the visible rooftop system to teach renewable energy principles, demonstrating practical applications of wind power while generating actual electricity for facility use.
The turbine operates effectively in areas with average annual wind speeds of 3m/s or higher. While it starts generating at 2m/s, consistent winds above 3m/s are required to achieve the rated annual output of 2,000-3,000 kWh. Wind mapping tools or a 30-day anemometer test are recommended to assess potential sites .
Yes, when installed according to guidelines. The turbine's lightweight design (75kg) distributes weight across multiple roof joists using the included mounting brackets, which are engineered to meet building code requirements for wind loads up to 25m/s. We recommend consulting a structural engineer for older buildings or regions prone to extreme weather .
Minimal maintenance is needed: monthly visual inspections for debris or blade damage, quarterly tightening of connections, and annual lubrication of the yaw bearing. The composite blades resist UV damage and corrosion, requiring cleaning only twice yearly in dusty environments. The generator carries a 5-year warranty with no scheduled maintenance required .
When paired with a battery storage system (recommended 12V/200Ah deep-cycle battery), the turbine provides backup power during grid outages. The controller automatically switches to battery mode, prioritizing essential loads like lighting and refrigeration. For extended outages, the system can sustain critical devices for 2-3 days without wind .
