EcoVert™ 300: Next Generation of Vertical Axis Wind Power Turbines

The most efficient and cost effective renewable energy technology available: FACILITY CLASS WIND!

The EcoVert 300 turbine is a revolutionary solution, unique in the mid-scale "Facility Class" market. Suitable for a wide range of wind speeds, it's extremely quiet and is ideal for coastal areas where there is a hurricane threat. It's easy to set up, low maintenance, and will provide high ROI for your wind power project. It is easily transported to any remote location by truck or small island supply ship. Its aesthetic 3-blad vertical-axis design is more nature-friendly.

This turbine is ideal for more isolated areas and also fits easily into the most populated environment. It's extremely quite operation is a surprise, particularly compared to traditional wind-farm style turbines. Without a gearbox, this turbine has higher efficiency, lower maintenance and less chance of expensive failure. These are critical features for facility class wind projects where with traditional turbine designs, the maintenance costs can destroy the project's financial success.

APAA™ Blade Control

One of the significant factors that contribute to the superiority of the EcoVert 300 is APAATM , it's blade control system. This system features microprocessors and advanced control software for better low-speed output performance, more consistent output over wind speed range, and 60% less tower load in storm winds than traditional turbine designs.
