TECWIND 4.0 Turbine 3.4KW Rated Capacity download printer-friendly version (PDF)
High Performance Wind Technology
Constant output in high winds and direct drive permanent magnet technology are now combined together to bring you the latest most reliable wind technology available.
Passive Downwind Tracking
Passive downwind systems have fewer moving parts and do not require electronic sensors and controls. This keeps the design simple, keeps the installed price per watt and maintenance costs lower than upwind systems.
Variable Pitch Speed Control
Large wind turbines control rotor speed by changing the pitch of the blade. The new
TECWIND 4.0 uses pitch control to keep the blades rotating at 380 rpm. This will be maintained up to 55 mph where it will continue to capture maximum power before shutting down at that top speed.
Low Cost of Energy
The installed cost per watt output is less than most other wind systems available. The
TECWIND 4.0 can deliver enough power for a family of 2 or small business.
Built to Last
Heavy Duty Design—All exposed components are hot dip galvanized for use on the coast or in the mountains without any modifications.
