Wind Energy

Say 'No' to Sevillana and expensive lines
and 'No' to 'builders electric' and 'generators'.
No more monthly bills
With clean energy from the wind

The Turvent 5 - Clean quiet power. Forever.

...

This aero generator is appropriate for home use or can be connected to an existing electric system.
It doesn’t need any maintenance, although we recommend checking the fittings at least once a year.
Thanks to its reduced size, which doesn’t heat up or make any discernable noise in operation, the Turvent 5 is perfect for urban installation, public buildings, industrial and domestic use.
Turvent 5 doesn’t stop producing electricity when the wind gets too strong. It will keep on working at wind-speeds of up to 120Km/h. Furthermore, it doesn’t need orientation towards the direction of the wind like those tall propellors with tails, as the turbine is horizontal and works regardless of wind direction, without any ‘dead zones’.
Meteorological and production of kw/h information are visible in real time on the turbine’s control box.
The Turvent 5 is responsibly made: all its elements are recyclable and it doesn’t harm birdlife, makes no noise and does not alter the local ambient temperature.
The Turvent 5 comes with a two year manufacturers guarantee.
We offer an optional detection and alarm system with your Turvent 5 in case of theft or vandalism, also a telemetric system to store meteorological information and energy production from a secure website and, if necessary, several Turvent 5 units can be connected together to increase energy production.

The Turvent 5 is the perfect answer to circumvent the electricity company and its rules, instalation costs and monthly bills. The Turvent 5 will reduce or even negate the use of a noisy generator and, best of all, after the initial cost, your energy comes free from the wind.

A product with many different uses

Domestic Use
Turvent 5 is a revolution in mini-eolithic energy as it is only four square metres in size and it produces no discernable sound (quieter, for example, that the quietest air conditioner on the market). This allows us to provide a genuine power-source from renewable energy for domestic use.
We can install one or more Turvent 5 in a small space in your home, according to your energy consumption and install the necessary number of batteries to provide sufficient energy for your needs.

Isolated Use
With the Turvent 5, you can bring electricity to places where there is none. Currently, there are many places without electric service because they are too far away from the network, which supposes a high cost to bring the current to the place, even supposing it were legal to do so. With Turvent 5 we can produce and consume our own clean energy and avoid the high costs of getting connected in far-off sites – which makes it a good investment as one can enjoy electricity in a place where the network doesn’t serve, and with a well-planned installation of accumulators one can enjoy a reserve of electricity for several days.

Industrial Use
In warehouses, public buildings, hospitals and so on, the Turvent 5 is a perfect solution, since we can store all or part of the energy generated by Turvent.
Depending on the number of batteries and the average strength of the wind, we can soon amortize the installation of the unit and reduce our energy costs.

Connection to the Electric Company
Turvent manufactures a unit specifically for connection to the network and the sale of energy to them. There are incentives for selling energy to the networks which vary from one country to another. Spain unfortunately is not among the easiest of these thanks to the heavy bureaucracy here and an accent on photovoltaic cells, but this situation is due to change shortly as, in keeping with other European countries and the USA, mini-eolithic energy cells are now being encouraged and supported.

Neighbours Communities
With Turvent one can install units on a building which serve to provide light and energy in common areas. Each time we light the stairwell, or use the lift, or open the garage door, the electricity we use is completely clean with the use of one or several Turvent 5 units. These units don’t take up much space and don’t make any noise. They can be installed easily on the roof of a building and cover that building’s communal needs.
Imagine the saving in the production of CO2 gases and all that implies if all the farms, buildings and public installations across the country used clean energy.

Town Halls and Autonomous Communities
Public lighting can be produced entirely from renewable energies, and small areas using low-wattage lights could easily be driven by Turvent – making savings both on CO2 emissions and indeed on local taxes, paid by all the local residents.
