Xzeres 10kW Wind Turbine - Capture Energy Ltd - Cornwall UK

[3402258r1]

I am up in Orkney so no shortage of wind here. I think the average wind speed for our site is 7.8m/s.

People are getting 20000 - 25000kw per year from 5 & 6kw machines up here.

I have ordered one of these turbines and hope to have it installed this spring. There doesn't seem to be many of these turbines around in the UK yet.

@3402258r1 Where abouts in the UK are you?

Whats your yield after one month and how windy has it been?

Does it reach 12KW in a strong wind?

@3402258r1 on this machine the yield is up to a total of 2,400kWh, or 1,200kWh per inverter. I am not sure how windy it has been, there is no anemometer fitted currently but the winds I would say are average for the time of year on site. The site average using NOALE is 5.9ms with 6.2 and 5.4ms in the pravaling wind squares. The turbine does reach 12kW. The unit has a smart voltage boost controller that dumps excess power to dump loads during high wind.
