1kW grid-tie wind turbine kit with 5.5kW hybrid inverter and 24kWh battery bank

This 1kW 48V Complete Grid-Tie Wind Power System is designed to seamlessly integrate with the national power grid, offering a comprehensive solution for users. This system is excellent for windy locations where the wind is consistent or regular, such as coastal areas, islands, and open hilltops. It is not suitable for built-up areas or other locations with poor wind conditions, such as urban environments with many buildings, dense forests, or areas surrounded by tall objects, structures, or vegetation.

By feeding up to 1kW of wind power into the large 24kWh battery bank, this system can significantly reduce electricity bills while providing unmatched versatility. The inverter operates efficiently in grid-tie, hybrid, off-grid, and UPS modes, ensuring uninterrupted power supply even during mains power cuts. Advanced monitoring features enable users to keep track of the battery bank through a mobile app connected via Bluetooth, with optional Wi-Fi connectivity (sold separately) and remote portal monitoring capabilities available for added convenience.

The innovative inverter is fully compliant with G98/G99 standards required for grid-tie installation and is easily upgradable. Solar panels can be added to the inbuilt MPPT solar charge controller to supplement power generation, or through a separate MPPT controller if needed for more complex roofs. Additionally, more wind turbines can be added to the system with separate wind charge controllers.

1kW 48V wind turbine with 3 blades and tail furling mechanism

This powerful 1kW 48V wind turbine is designed for use in a wide range of locations with medium to strong wind speeds. For example, in areas such as open fields, coastal areas, and high ground. It is suitable for a variety of applications, including power generation for remote locations, industrial sites, agriculture, off-grid and hybrid household power systems, and for telecommunications purposes.

This wind turbine has been specifically engineered to maximise power generation whilst ensuring optimum safety. In addition to the standard braking and safety features, this wind turbine also includes an innovative aerodynamic tail furling mechanism, which causes the blades of the turbine to turn away from excessive incoming wind to prevent damage to the generator.

1kW 48V MPPT wind charge controller with LCD display and dump load

The wind charge controller uses MPPT boost charging technology to unlock the full potential of your wind power system, ensuring optimal performance. The wind charging circuit is equipped with cutting-edge power tracking and voltage-boosting features, achieving the maximum available power from the wind turbine even in low-wind conditions. It also comes with a turbine braking function and external dump load to protect the battery and the turbine during high winds.

This controller features a user-friendly interface with a digital LCD display that shows essential information such as battery voltage, charging current, connection status of the wind turbine, and battery charging status, while also alerting users to system faults or abnormal values like low battery voltage. Advanced software configuration is enabled via a dedicated free Windows software that connects through an RS232 port, allowing users to set parameters including charging and disconnect voltages, wind turbine overcurrent, wind turbine start voltage, and wind braking settings, along with access to monitoring and historical data.

5500W 48V Iconica Hybrid Inverter

The Iconica 5500W 48V hybrid grid-tie inverter boasts advanced 3-in-1 hybrid functionality, combining a pure sine wave inverter, an MPPT solar charge controller, and a smart mains charger. It offers highly customisable settings for various parameters (max. feed-in power, charging voltages, battery type, etc.) and advanced communication options, including remote monitoring via a Wi-Fi connection kit. Additionally, the inverter features an illuminated LCD screen displaying real time data. Compatible with various battery types, this inverter is a versatile and efficient solution for modern energy needs. The inverter features three main operating modes: Grid-tie mode: Energy generated by the wind turbine is fed back to the national grid via the battery bank. Grid-tie with battery backup: Generated wind power can be used to charge the battery, as well as feed energy back to the grid and supply power to the load through the battery. Mains electricity can also be used to power the load and charge the battery. In this mode the user can configure energy supply priority, charging source priority, and load supply source priority. When solar power or mains power is unavailable, the battery will act as a 'back up' and continue to power the load (e.g. when no solar power is connected or during a mains power cut). 'Peak' and 'Off-peak' times for electricity demand can also be set, in order to prioritise either load power supply or battery charging. Off-grid mode: Utilises wind energy to power loads or charge batteries without feeding power back to the grid, while still allowing mains power usage if necessary. In this mode the user can configure energy supply priority, charging source priority, and load supply source priority.

Installation and assembly of this wind turbine is extremely simple. For full information, please refer to the detailed user manual supplied with this product (see Documents tab).

This wind turbine requires a mounting pole, which is not included. The base of the wind turbine features a flange connector which can be bolted to a suitable pole. We recommend using a metal pole for mounting (e.g. a scaffolding pole) rather than poles made of timber or plastic, which may pose a safety hazard.
