Nice, please upload a video of it running in 20 kts. (need a good microphone sock to stop the wind noise) Very curious to hear with my own ears how quiet it really is.
My best advise to you would be to go for a walk around the Marina on a windy day! I am sure you will find one of this in a boat so you can hear it closer. Just for clarification, we are not Rutland sellers or make any money of it, this is just about our experience with this wind generator on the last few years. Cheers
At about 25kts of wind speed it will produce around 300watts. It peeks at about 375watts at 30kts of wind. So long as you are in a windy location it is x 24 hours a day. Solar maybe better value for money, but when you calculate the solar output you have to take in to consideration night time, cloudy days, or part of, high latitude sailing etc. My view is, it adds to the mix instead of relying only on generation with solar. We are 37° north at present and our panels are not contributing very much power at this time of year. Newer panels would provide more power. Personally I love it.
I recall Simon said in an earlier show that you guys were getting 100 AHs/day while in Caribbean...that would be roughly 1,200 watts/day or 50 watts/hr. Am I missing something as 25 knots would be 400x24= over 9,000 watts/day. If 9,000 watts/day, this would be a better value than solar - and require less real estate. Sorry, if my math is bad!
If you look at the graph on the website or the video, the 1200 is limited to about 483 watts per hour at 30+kts of wind, but you do need a consistent wind to achieve these figures. I will never forget Surfside anchorage in Aruba, flat waters and 30kts blowing 24 hours a day. perfect conditions. I think a mix of wind and solar is the answer

Excellent review guys, take care and be safe!😎👍
Thank you Jerry
Thanks, Simon. I appreciate the review. Very helpful. ✨⛵️✨✌️✨
You are welcome
Thank you

Do you use the wind generator along with solar to get electric energy
Yes, we do!
So on a decent wind day how many watts per day does this produce, and how does it compare to any solar you have?
At about 25kts of wind speed it will produce around 300watts. It peeks at about 375watts at 30kts of wind. So long as you are in a windy location it is x 24 hours a day.

Any idea what your avg power use is a day?
160 AH more or less

@@SailingOceanFox i recall, the voltage controller on the wind Gen can also handle 250w solar, too
