Windsave
1kW Wind Turbine
‘The Generator is pole-mounted onto almost any roof or wall. The DC output is converted by the Windsave 'Plug-&-Save™' unit to self-synchronised 240 volts/50 Hz electricity. The 'Plug-&-Save™' feeds electricity directly into the property on the consumer side of the meter.
The Windsave innovative technology will generate significant amounts of electricity through the cumulative output of multiple-unit installations on high-rise commercial and residential buildings. The Windsave system is most suitable to blend into urban landscapes.
The windsave system delivers:
• Renewable Electricity to Commercial and Domestic consumers.
• Supplementary power into existing electricity systems, downstream from the meter.
• Does not require batteries; there is no stored electricity.
• The system has virtually no vibration or noise.
• A minimum life of 15 years is confidently anticipated for the system.
• Rental opportunities for capital constrained Authorities and Commercial enterprises.’
