What can could I do with a small wind turbine?

Domestic grid connect

The Challenge

Mr & Mrs Robertson bought a derelict cottage, with no connection to the national grid. Connecting to the grid would be expensive, so both grid connect and battery storage solutions were considered.

The Solution

After careful deliberation the Robertsons were connected to the national grid and installed a Proven 7 grid connect wind turbine. The electricity produced from the Proven 7 is fed directly into a distribution board providing power to a water pump for their private water supply and domestic appliances.

The Benefit

The Proven 7 grid connect system provides them with income by allowing excess energy to be exported to the National Grid and sold to an electricity provider. The Proven 7 produces between 2500kWh – 5000kWh of electricity annually and provides the Robertson’s with a renewable energy source allowing them to do their bit for the environment.

Summary

Grid connect

Turbine size: Proven 2.5

Sector: Domestic

Wind Regime: Excellent

Benefit: Money can be made by exporting surplus energy back into the National Grid.

Domestic battery charging

The Challenge

George Jarvis lives in a remote part of Perthshire with no connection to the national grid. All his electricity and heating was supplied by an expensive and noisy diesel generator.

The Solution

Unhappy with the costly upkeep of the diesel generator Mr Jarvis researched alternative energy sources. With the UK being one of the windiest countries in the world, a wind turbine looked like suitable option. Jarvis needed a reliable and robust turbine that would be inexpensive and easily maintained. He opted for a Proven 7 battery storage system, renowned for quality and durability.

The Benefit

Mr Jarvis is pleased with the performance of his Proven 7 which produces between 2500kWh and 5000kWh of electricity annually. Continuous power, low running costs and minimal noise are some of the main benefits of owning your own battery storage wind turbine system.
