- Impressive aerodynamic efficiency under various wind conditions.
- Perfectly suited for multidirectional, turbulent, upward, very slow, and gusty wind flows.
- No external braking system required at high wind speeds: The unique rotor aerodynamics and self-regulating speed continue to generate maximum energy.
- Minimal maintenance with just an annual service interval.
- At a wind speed of 6 m/s, the sound level is less than 10 dBA – ideal for urban and private settings as it is nearly silent.
- Flexible roof or ground mounting for off-grid and grid-tied applications.
- The low rotational speed of 80 to 100 RPM protects wildlife and system components. Additionally, the slow-moving blades are perfect for advertising or sponsorship.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ – General Questions about Wind Turbines
A wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. The wind turns the rotor blades, which are connected to a generator. The generator converts the mechanical energy into electricity, which can be used to power your devices or fed into the grid.
A wind turbine offers numerous benefits:
- Renewable Energy: Generate clean electricity from wind power, contributing to climate protection.
- Independence: Reduce reliance on energy providers and shield yourself from rising energy prices.
- Cost Savings: Lower your electricity bills by using the power you generate.
- Sustainability: Long lifespan and low operational costs make wind turbines a sustainable investment.
Yes, modern wind turbines are designed to generate electricity even in low or gusty wind conditions. Thanks to their aerodynamic efficiency, they can harness multidirectional and turbulent winds. At very high wind speeds, the turbine automatically regulates its rotation speed to prevent damage.
The installation of a wind turbine involves several steps:
- Consultation and Site Analysis: We assess whether your location is suitable for a wind turbine.
- Planning: We create a detailed plan based on your requirements and local wind conditions.
- Permits: If necessary, we handle all permit applications.
- Installation and Commissioning: Our team sets up the turbine and ensures it’s ready for operation.
An ideal location for a wind turbine should have consistent wind availability. Open, unobstructed areas away from tall buildings or trees are optimal. Additionally, local building regulations must be observed.
Modern wind turbines are built to withstand extreme weather conditions. At very high wind speeds, they automatically reduce their rotation speed or shut down to prevent damage. Many turbines are also designed with materials that ensure functionality at low temperatures.
A wind turbine typically lasts 20 to 25 years. With regular maintenance and care, it can continue generating electricity efficiently for even longer.
The cost of a wind turbine depends on factors like its size, location, and installation requirements. Small systems for private households start at around €10,000, while larger commercial systems can be significantly more expensive.
