Wind turbines convert wind energy to electricity. With typical Caribbean tradewinds blowing 10-15 knots or greater most of the year, considering a wind generator for back up or supplemental power is a viable option. Note the following benefits:

  • Non-polluting
  • No dependence on fossil fuels
  • Compliments a solar power system
  • Excellent for remote applications where access to utility lines is not available or expense
  • Steady tradewinds majority of the year offer free wind fuel
  • Excellent back-up system to alleviate the annoyances of outages
  • Reduction of utility bills

Wind generators have only a few moving parts and so maintenance is minimal and they operate automatically. The output from the turbine is fed into the household wiring at the breaker panel. The house is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and the utility company. As winds fluctuate, so does the draw or contribution from the utility.

We represent several manufacturers including BERGEY WINDPOWER and SOUTHWEST WINDPOWER products. They are quality products with models of various sizes to suit most household or marine applications.
