24 volt wind turbines

UK-based Marlec Engineering have been producing wind turbines for decades, and the Rutland series are perhaps the best-selling small turbines in the world. Both their 913 model, which uses marine-grade components and is optimised for use on yachts, and their furling 910 and 1803 models, recommended for land-based applications, are available in 24 volt versions. If it's a 12 volt Rutland you're interested in, try our parent company, Midsummer Energy. These turbines are great value for money, and are very reliable.

Forgen wind turbines are designed for use in harsh environments where other wind turbines can't last the course: The British Antarctic Survey use these in Antarctica. Well-engineered sealed bearings, a simple yet robust construction and an efficient, carefully-balanced generator combine to make a machine that is dependable, yet effective. All electrical components are encapsulated and the unit is virtually maintenance free: There are no slip rings to cause interference against electrical equipment; the outlet supply cable to the battery cannot become entangled; there are no separate blades and the unit is vibration free and silent in operation.

This type of vertical axis wind turbine gives lower power output than similarly sized horizontal axis turbines. However, for remote power solutions where dependability is more important than sheer power, they are absolutely excellent. Use a Forgen 500 for lighter loads, and a Forgen 1000 where your power needs are a bit greater. For a truly indestructible solution, use the Forgen 1000 with side bearing.

Forgen also make a 12V version which our parent company, Midsummer Energy sells. Low temperature models are also available that would even be suitable for use in Antarctica! If plain white doesn't take your fancy, then don't worry - they will even build you a wind turbine with customized colours! Please contact us for details and a quote.
