Round the world and coastal cruising sailors will find a Rutland Windcharger or Solarex panel to suit their needs for battery charging on board keeping navigation lights, computers, inverters, cabin lighting, pumps, etc. running without the need to run the engine for battery charging |
Caravanners and Motor Home (RV) enthusiasts can stay in one location for extended periods without noisy and costly generators running for lighting, tv's etc. Choose either a Rutland Windcharger, which can be set up in about the same time as an awning or a permanently fixed solar panel on the roof.
Holiday Home owners can have power for lighting, tv., computers, inverters for mains equipment such as microwave ovens, telephone and fax etc. A battery bank will store the power whilst you are away so that you will arrive to find fully charged batteries and keep topping them up whilst you are in residence. A combined wind and solar system is ideal!

Telecommunications and tv networks can be extended to the remotest of areas at minimal cost with the use of wind and solar power. No more costly grid connections!
| Monitoring and datalogging of information at isolated sites for water companies and other utilities can now be considered cost effectively. Add a telemetry link and reduce costly site visits! |

Navigational installations, on and offshore, and oil platforms can have a reliable, independent power source for essential lighting and telemetry. |
Security systems at remote locations, eg airfields, storage facilities, etc can be operated from a small and inexpensive renewable energy system.
Aquaculture and agriculture professionals can benefit from independent power for feeding systems, security eg.electric fencing and lighting, pest control, lighting and small power tools in farm buildings.
Rural clinics either permanently or temporarily sited can have power using a Rutland Windcharger and/or solar panels for vaccine refrigeration and lighting.
Rural schools and missions benefit from lighting and power for tv's., videos and overhead projectors.
Rural electrification programmes operated by government, aid agencies and NGO's can establish low cost battery charging stations in off grid villages so that groups of rural families benefit from lighting, tv. and water pumping. Lighting extends the working day allowing families to work on crafts for their income.
Emergency relief aid organisations can speedily and simply establish power sources for lighting, refrigeration and telecommunications.
Community water supplies can be established in remote areas using the Rutland Wind-Electric Pump Kit which is portable and efficient. It is easy to relocate and does not need batteries.
Schools and colleges can use windchargers for experiments on basic electrical theories, demonstrate aerodynamic principles and much more. We have a special manual available for teachers "Wind Turbine Generation Using The Rutland Windcharger: A Practical Manual For Teachers" by Dr Anne Wheldon and Dr John Twidell.
Ever thought of setting up an eco-centre? Use wind and solar power to generate energy for lighting and computers as well as monitoring the equipment's efficiency using dataloggers. Using an amperehour meter you can measure how much free power has been generated over given periods of time.
