We
have discontinued the value engineered 2.4KW (3.7 meter
fixed pitch blade diameter) wind
turbine. The small
wind turbine market
trend is towards
larger, grid-tied
systems. Sales of
turbines <1 kW in
size (often used
off-grid) were flat
from 2006-09 at
roughly 3 MW. Sales
of 1-10 kW turbines
(often used in the
grid-tied
residential market),
on the other hand,
grew from less than
2 MW in 2006 to 8 MW
in 2009, while sales
of 11-100 kW
turbines (often used
in the grid-tied
commercial / light
industrial /
government market)
grew from around 3
MW in 2006 to almost
10 MW in 2009 (AWEA
2010).

We now offer the Aztec
wind turbine 3,5,10 & 20 KW (5 to 10 meter blade diameter)
series. They are designed
to 61400-2 "engineering
standards for small wind turbines" (down tower electronics), it's down
tower inverter has an available 10-Year Limited Warranty and the turbine
incorporates robust slip rings. The Aztec series are built to
withstand severe weather and will last decades. The blades are so strong
that two-three men can stand or jump on the them. Once the turbine has
received it's 1000 hour inspection, it requires no additional
maintenance for 30,000 hours (nearly five years).
The Aztec wind turbine series offers
superior performance, design and only requires professional
inspection & grease every 5-years.
Does installing wind & solar hybrid systems make sense?
Yes;
if you represent .1 percent of the buyers that invested in
off
grid
equipment and if your evening energy usage is greater
than your battery storage capabilities. To learn more about

No;
not if you're leveraging the economics of grid connected
systems that benefit from net-metering (banking power on
the grid) of over production.
