Wind Turbines

Planning

A 6kW Proven powered We are factory trained by Proven Energy and trusted by them to supply, install and maintain their excellent range of wind turbines. We chose Proven Energy machines because they are robust, elegant and powerful and because we are satisfied that they will reliably generate clean, renewable, inflation proof electricity year after year - just what is needed from a wind turbine!

Proven Energy Wind Turbines are downwind, self regulating machines that are built to marine quality standards. They utilise materials such as galvanised steel, stainless steel and tough plastics enabling them to be used in coastal positions without modification. In wind speeds above 12m/s (25mph) the blades twist allowing the wind to spill thus limiting the run speed of the machine ensuring its durability.

We can assess the potential of your site, guide you through the Low Carbon Buildings Programme grant application process and assist you with any planning application.

We supply three sizes of machine, 2.5kW, 6kW and 15kW. Each has two self supporting tower height options. Currently the maximum LCBP grant available for a domestic installation is £2,500. For community, charity and public sector installations up to 50% of the project cost is available under Phase 2 of the programme.

 

 

 

In these times of ever increasing energy prices we hear many industry professionals saying that wind power is becoming “cost-competitive” with fossil fuel electricity generation.

Both our domestic and commercial installations typically take less than a week to complete. We work in an organised and methodical way and pre-prepare many items in our workshop before coming to site. We can usually arrive on site within 8 weeks of receiving your order.

A 6kW Proven wind turbine in CornwallThe first step for any wind turbine installation is to obtain an estimate of the average wind speed for the proposed site and to consider the overall feasibility of the project. Because of the scale of your investment and the variability in the wind from place to place we highly recommend a professional feasibility study. We can of course do this on your behalf. Our study includes; desk based research, a visit to and survey of the proposed site and preparation of a written report together with our recommendations for wind turbine size, positioning, tower height, cable sizing, grid connection etc. We will also provide you with information to assist in any application for planning permission and, if required, liaise with the relevant Distribution Network Operator to secure permission for a grid connection.

We charge just £250 including VAT (within 150 miles of our base) to undertake such a study. The amount is refunded in full on receipt of a subsequent order.

If you are prepared to wait until we are passing nearby to the proposed site (this could be many weeks or even months) then we are more than happy to stop by and give you an idea of what might be possible and worthwhile.

Please contact us to arrange an appointment.

Harness the Power of the Wind

Wind power is proportional to the cube of the wind's speed,
so relatively minor changes in wind speed result in large changes in output.
