Wind Turbines are the third highest contributor of UK renewable energy.

We offer installation of wide range of highly efficient horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines,

suitable for all sizes of ground or rooftop mounting, by experienced and fully accredited installation teams.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) do not need to be pointed into wind, whilst low rotational speeds reduce noise, maintenance and to some are more visually acceptable than horizontal axis turbines.

In urban locations wind streams can swirl, funnel and combine to render HAWT's unsuitable, yet in such locations, with more powerful winds near the ground a VAWT can often produce more power than HAWT's placed at higher elevations. Low tower heights are thus acceptable where planning requirements do not permit turbines to be placed at height.

Roof mounting is popular with this type of machine, with numerous examples across the UK.

Small Scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT) for small scale installations are becoming a familiar sight. A proven technology these machines are robust and durable delivering high performance electrical energy.

At the domestic end of the range the Skystream 3.7 is an elegant, swept blade, residential wind turbine designed to make wind power accessible at your home and to reduce the electrical bill. Rated output is 1.8kW at 10m/s with peaks of 2.4kW at 14m/s.

For greater output consider the Proven wind turbine range. Rated at 2.5kW, 6kW & 15kW at 12m/s, their unique blade design, which adapt to wind conditions, optimise performance and safety.

Available for mounting on rooftops or at ground level on towers from 6.5m to 15m, for grid or battery connection.

Commercial Scale Wind Turbines

20kW & 50kW Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines are available for commercial, industrial and agricultural sites where a heavier electricity load is required and open space is available.

The 20kW Westwind units, developed in Australia, are now UK manufactured and available on masts for towers from 12m to 18m. The 10.4m diameter rota has a cut in wind speed of just 2.5m/s and boasts a highly enviable track record with many successful and productive installations around the World . Battery or grid connection options area available.

The 50kW HAWT unit has been developed and tested in the harsh Canadian climate. The 15m diameter rota can be mounted on either a 24m or 31m tower of either mono-pole or lattice tower structure.

Rated for 50kW at 11.3m/s with a cut in wind speed is 4.6m/s.

We offer Wind Turbine solutions for domestic, commercial and Industrial power generation capabilities.
