H1 1kW horizontal axis wind turbine
We are pleased to announce that Britwind has acquired the AirForce wind portfolio from FuturEnergy.
With more than 6,000 units already in service worldwide, the highly robust and dependable H1 micro wind turbine demonstrates enviable capability in energy generation in an extensive range of applications. Ideal for providing additional generation alongside solar pv systems particularly during the winter months or at night.
The turbine has a low visual impact with a tower height of 8m, installed using special ground anchors, so no concrete foundations are required. It features an auto stop function, as well as an app which allows you to control your turbine remotely via your smartphone and monitor performance. 24V and 48V battery charging versions available, depending on your requirements.
