EnergyBlade
Rural and Country are proud to launch the EnergyBlade 3.7 Vertical Axis Windmill to the UK. This is a ground-breaking energy generator for domestic and rural use.
EnergyBlade
Our existing decade-long experience in the UK small wind market, together with our Country-wide coverage and employed installation team, made us the perfect Partner to offer this exciting new technology to UK clients.
The product has been designed in Norway, with a planned global rollout. It is entirely manufactured in Europe, avoiding the quality issues often experienced as result of Far East manufacture.
Key Features and Benefits
Intense fatigue testing
Helical blade design – helps make power at lower wind-speeds and in disturbed wind, whilst operating at super-low noise levels.
3.7kW generator – with grid connections now proving more and more costly for larger turbines, this is the perfect generator size for domestic power assistance, while also being grid-compliant and not requiring additional grids costs in most circumstances.
Monopole Tower – a single aluminium mono-pole tower has been developed making the unit both slender and more visually appealing, whilst requiring no ongoing maintenance or painting.
Composite Blade design – literally tested to destruction prior to launch, and performing without fatigue in wind-speeds far greater than those in the UK.
Planning friendly – at a total height of just under 11mtrs the EnergyBlade is a Permitted Development in England and Wales providing certain criteria are met. We will both advise on and deal with any planning requirements arising.
Appearance – Vertical Axis turbines are far more visually pleasing than traditional wind turbines and are almost architectural or sculptural in operation. Please see video below showing them under test in Norway.
Quiet operation – 39dB makes this the quietest windmill of its type in the global market.
Wildlife / Bird Friendly – Unlike traditional turbines with swept blades, Vertical Axis windmills can be seen by approaching birds, and are avoided. The Norwegian test-site is on a small private airfield adjoining one of Norway’s largest nature reserves. Incidents of birdstrike over the last 2-years have been Zero.
Unique generation – Most importantly, the EnergyBlade delivers power to your property at the very time you need it – in Winter and outside of daylight hours – it is the PERFECT partner for clients with existing Solar panels – it operates when Solar simply cannot. It is also perfect for clients running Heat Pumps or with other winter electrical loads.
