The wind turbine generator
can utilise winds from all directions unlike traditional HAWTs which
need to track the oncoming wind. This is an important advantage in
locations where winds are turbulent, gusty and constantly changing
directions.
The vertical axis wind
turbine has a design life of 25 years and comes with a two year
warranty. Installation of a wind turbine will usually take about six
hours. An annual maintenance inspection is recommended.
The wind turbine is easy to
integrate into existing structures due to the compact, innovative design
of the rotor and blades. The vertical turbines can be ground or roof
mounted. A range of mast sizes is offered depending on the location.
There are over 100 turbines in the fleet.
