The Kestrel e300i 1kW is a sleek, compact, aerodynamic turbine. The e300i is suitable for all wind classes and has a low start-up torque that requires minimal wind to generate energy. With very quiet operation the Kestrel is unobtrusive and suited to urban environments.
Unlike most standard Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines that use a furling tail mechanism to protect the turbine during high winds by shifting the tail and bringing the blades into the wind to ease pressure, Kestrel turbines have individual blade furling mechanisms. This innovation in small wind turbines brings great benefits. The turbines have fixed tails and never need to move out of the wind. During strong winds when you want maximum power output from a turbine the Kestrel furling blades allow the turbine to always present the blades to the wind and not slow down and reduce power output. Indeed every feature of the e300i optimises renewable energy generation. With the high power output across a range of wind speeds the Kestrel e300i is perfect for grid connection. With two grid connection kit available.
saving on your next energy bill can be a reality now.
