3kW grid-tie wind turbine kit with 5.5kW hybrid inverter and 24kWh battery bank

This 3kW 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 3kW 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.

3kW 120V wind turbine with 3 blades and tail furling mechanism:

This powerful 3kW 120V 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.

3kW 48V MPPT wind charge controller with LCD display and dump load:

The controller uses MPPT 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 features, achieving the maximum available power from the wind turbine. It also comes with a turbine braking function and external dump load to protect the wind turbine and the battery 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:

Using a Grid-tie operation with battery backup offers significant advantages over standard grid-tie inverters by ensuring uninterrupted power and reducing electricity costs. During power outages, standard grid-tie inverters shut down completely, leaving users without electricity and wasting wind energy. In contrast, this advanced inverter utilises stored battery power to maintain an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), keeping appliances running and continuing to harvest energy from wind. As electricity prices rise and subsidies for grid-fed power decrease, maximising self-consumption becomes crucial. The system can prioritise using stored wind energy with 'peak' and 'off-peak' settings to restrict mains power usage during periods where electricity cost is higher, thereby reducing reliance on the grid and lowering overall electricity costs. This approach ensures that wind energy is effectively utilised, enhancing both energy independence and cost efficiency.

We can offer a detailed wiring diagram and full technical support for installations and settings upon request.

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.

If you need help with installation or have any technical questions we can provide FREE support - please contact us by email or phone (see Contact Us page for more information).
