Wind Turbine
Kits
Wind Turbine Kits are the ideal option for those people who do not have the
tools or the ability to physically make one themself but still dream of building a Windmill Generator for their
home.
Below are a selection of Kits which are available for assembly and should you require further
information on any of these products just follow the links to the appropriate unit.
Requirements of a Good Quality Wind Power Turbine
There are some very important question to ask before purchasing any Wind Turbine
Kits but one high on the list is if the unit is capable of paying for itself within ten years taking into
consideration the following?
-
Is the kit you are purchasing of inferior quality which will make it unreliable and high in maintenance
costs making it impossible for you to recover your investment costs?
-
Is the Turbine Kit you are purchasing safe for withstanding high winds, is it quiet and have no
vibrations making it environmentally friendly for you and your neighbours?
-
Does the area in which you live have sufficient wind to make Wind Turbine Kits
a viable proposition? (information about winds and speed are available from your local meteorologist
office)
-
Are there any obstructions such as high buildings or trees that might restrict the capture of wind or
create turbulence?
If you are certain that a Windmill Kit is suitable for you then below you will find some of the
finest kits available with a variety of outputs to choose from.

committed to innovation and quality.
The Windmax 900W Wind Power Kits are extremely quiet in
operation with little or no vibration making it friendly to your neighbours, it is reliable with a
two-moving-part maintenance free design.
The three blade design can withstand wind speeds of up to 134mph with its
efficiency being achieved through matching the design of the generator and blades.
The Windmax 900W blades are made of high-strength Nylon-fiberglass material and
are not the hollow fiberglass blades which are dangerous in high wind and need to be replaced in a
couple of years.
This kit is easy to install with no welding needed and a 2" pipe pole connector
being provided.

Windmax 5 Blade 650 Watts
Wind Power Kits
There are several advantages of using a 5-blade wind turbine over a 3-blade wind
turbine such as;
1) There is a greatly improved annual energy production in low wind conditions
of over 60% for areas with average wind speeds of 11 MPH (5m/s).
2) 5 Blades improve the reliability and safety in high wind speed conditions
with the blade rotation speed being 60% of the rotational speed for a 3-blade wind turbine.
3) The lower blade rotation speed will lower wind turbine noise and make 5-blade
wind turbines more community friendly than 3-blade wind turbines.
These Wind Turbine Kits are ideal for areas with limited wind
speed and with its low noise is suitable in areas where neighbours are close.
These units are easy to install, are light weight and very reliable with the
generator being built using high-performance rare earth neodymium permanent magnets, so the
alternator is compact and light weight with a high power generating efficiency.
These Windmill Kits have been designed for various working conditions such as
severe climate, sand and salt corrosive environments and marine usage.

Windmax
2KW
Wind Power
Kits
The Windmax 2KW system is a low Torque, low wind system, rated 2000w at 20 mph,
startup wind speed is 4.47 mph making this Turbine ideal for a low wind area.
Battery and inverter are not included with these Wind Turbine
Kits but you can purchase batteries and inverters separately. It is not recommended to
purchase cheap inverters due to them being unreliable, inefficient and may not pass the safety
inspection. It is recommended you only use UL listed inverters made by Xantrex or Outback.
