Small Wind Turbines for Telecommunications

Southwest Windpower products are the most widely used wind turbines for remote telecommunication sites. Whether you need just a few watt-hours per day or a lot more, we have a product for your needs. You can save thousands of dollars per year of generator run time with the installation of just one wind turbine on your site. Best yet, our Air Industrial can be installed in just a few hours with no additional tower.

How Can a Small Wind Turbine Help Me?

If your remote site uses a battery bank of any voltage configuration and is charged by a generator, PV panels or both; and you have a 9 mph (4.5 m/s) wind resource or better, then a small wind system will work. Using an existing communications tower, you can install and Air Industrial off the side using available hardware and connect the turbine directly to your batteries. It is that simple. Every time the wind blows, it reduces the run time on your gas generator saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year in fuel costs. Need something larger?
