		The vertical prespective on small wind For a small wind turbine to be effective, it must produce energy across a wide range of wind speeds. It must be able to generate energy from winds that are switching directions and gusting. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) - which turn around a central axis going up and down, do this effectively. Even small horizontal axis - the wind mill/airplane propellor design, just flop back and forth trying to catch up to the direction of the wind and produce very little power from this condition. Large wind farms are situated where strong steady winds are blowing. To achieve the same in your yard, even if the wind is in your face daily, require 80 to 150 ft towers. Prices below are for the a 21 foot tower for windy areas. Contact Real Smart Developments for a site survey to assess the wind potential in your area and options for low to mid-sized towers.

How it Works:

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) Blades convert wind energy in to electricity.

Tower
Extract energy where-ever the wind blow. Can be mounted on rooftops or even at ground level if the wind is active at that level. No need to get into the higher level winds like the horizontal axis turbines.

Grid Tie Wind Box

For urban settings, converts variable wind energy to steady power for use in the house and overflow to go back to the grid.

Charge Controller

For off-grid systems to connect directly to the battery bank. Additionally keeps batteries from overcharging.

Battery Bank - Off Grid

Stores Power when the wind is not blowing or for grid-tie systems, to have power for emergency needs.

Inverter

The inverter converts the DC power into AC power.
