10kW Wind Power
Businesses, Residents, Churches, Islands and Schools
The 10kW has the most efficient rotor design tested by a third party in the small wind industry today. Its performance has been tested and validated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and can produce up to 40% more energy than its competitors of the same rating in some wind resources.
The 10kW is designed to generate low cost energy through efficiency, reliability, and longevity. Its simple design limits moving parts to reduce service and maintenance costs as well as allow for easy installation.
