Primus Wind Turbines

Wind power can be used in off-grid and Grid-Tie systems. In these applications, wind turbine electric systems can be used in combination with other components -- including solar electric system -- to create hybrid power systems.

Not at all. The Pegasus Wind Turbine Inventory are known for their very low noise levels and durability.

The actual wind speed at your site will be influenced by the local topography and any nearby obstructions such as trees or other buildings. Wind movement around buildings themselves is very unpredictable. Please contact our team for expert advice.

Ideally, stand-alone turbines should be sited as far away as possible from buildings or trees, which may block the wind and cause turbulence. As a guide, the wind turbine should be about twice the height of obstructions in the immediate front of it (for at least the prevailing wind direction). In general, the turbine should be above the height of nearby obstructions that are within a distance of 10m to 60m of the tower heights.

Small wind energy installations may require planning permission and you should always consult the planning officials or supplier, preferably confirmed in writing if this is needed. It is clearly good manners to discuss your plans and aspirations with your neighbors. Relevant factors include environmental impact, access to the site, noise and visual effects.

A wind turbine typically lasts around 15-20 years. During this time, some parts may need replacing. The very first factory-mass-produced turbine celebrated its 21st birthday in May 2001 and has operated steadily throughout its lifetime, and so far, none of the major components have had to be replaced. Some earlier workshop-produced turbines have operated for longer.
