Generate electricity for your home by harnessing the power of the wind.
Wind Turbines
Cut your electricity bills
Wind is free, so once you’ve paid for the initial installation and maintenance costs, your electricity costs will be reduced.
Wind turbines are one of the most effective ways to harness renewable energy. Over the past few decades, these machines have become increasingly popular worldwide due to their environmental and economic benefits.
Wind Turbines for Homes
Benefits of wind turbines
Cut your carbon footprint
Wind generated electricity is renewable energy and doesn’t release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants.
Store electricity for a calm day
If your home isn’t connected to the grid and you have battery storage, you can store excess electricity and use it when there is no wind.
What is a Maglev Wind Turbine?
Maglev (or magnetic levitation) is a way to support an object using a strong magnetic field. The vertical blades in a maglev wind turbine are supported using this method allowing them to spin with almost no friction. This allows the efficient conversion of wind power into electrical energy.
Frictionless bearings, by their nature, have little to no mechanical wear, meaning maintenance to the mechanism should be non-existent.
Wind turbines harness the power of the wind and use it to generate electricity. When the wind blows, the blades are forced round, driving a turbine that generates electricity. The stronger the wind, the more electricity produced.
There are two types of domestic-sized wind turbine:
Pole mounted – these are free standing and are erected in a suitably exposed position, with generation capacity around 6kW.
Building mounted – these are smaller than mast mounted systems and can be installed on the roof of a home where there is a suitable wind resource. Often these are around 2kW in size.
